A virus or bacterium exists because it can (Darwinian evolution). It evolves to be able to reproduce in your body (otherwise it would die out) without killing you (otherwise it cannot reproduce). Doing that takes time. So Covid is evolving to be able to infect you, reproduce, and infect others without killing you (see the common cold). So it evolves towards a balance of being able to invade and reproduce without killing you. Covid, a new virus, initially did kill a lot of people but recent strains have learned to be less devastating (or they’d die out).

We bought ours from Amazon. We’ve both had bad infections since October, tested but wasn't covid. Husband is severely asthmatic and I am immunocompromised. He had to take 8 steroids a day plus antibiotics and still isn’t fully recovered.
I caught it off a customer a in 2022, went to her house to look at a job, rang her the next day with the price and she told me she had Covid and felt unwell for 3 days before I visited.

I wasn’t too happy as I had to cancel a week of jobs, I made sure I was all clear until I booked anymore work or went anywhere.
Sorry to hear that , especially your poor Mum , we had a similar situation and that can cause more trouble than the Covid . I have had it twice and the better half once , thought it was three just recently but turned out to be a simple 5 day bug thankfully , but there has been talk down here about some new strain , i have no idea if there is any truth in it .
But thanks to people like you and me who believed in Boris, backed Britain and our world beating infection rate, who got jabbed and stayed alert, 'going well' became 'got Covid 19 done.'
