Setting it Straight: Catching COVID and taking the drug
Along with at least 50 percent of the Australian population, I’ve now had the COVID-19 experience. Catching it wasn’t deliberate though, with so many having passed through that particular ‘infection and recovery’ portal, I was feeling a bit underinformed as I wrote about COVID in the absence of firsthand acquaintance! Being in our 80s, we’d been tremendously careful, had our four vaccinations - two AstraZeneca, one Pfizer and one Moderna - and continued to wear N95 masks in crowded locations. But there’s always a finite risk and my luck ran out.
