Dude, getting caught in the rain without an umbrella = deal with it. Pretending there's not still a pandemic is foolish.

This is a novel virus and we already suspect it's fucking with people's brains and hearts in ways we can't detect. We have no idea what "long Covid" is really doing to people yet. For example, if you get chicken pox as a kid, you may get shingles as an adult.

For your sake I hope being flippant about this doesn't come back to haunt you.
