I had COVID once, fairly mild but it was absolutely exhausting. Sometimes I can’t put together a simple sentence that makes sense when spoken out loud. I know it sounds dumb and I just hope that people know what I mean when I say it. It’s so embarrassing as a professional and someone with two degrees.
