Neighbours out for a walk on the beach tonite

Neighbour 1: "Have you had that six week cough going around? You know the one I mean.

Me: "No, I haven't"

#1: "Oh. Well it's going around. Lots of ppl have it. I've had it for 5 weeks now. Can't get rid of it"

Me: "It's Covid"

Neighbour #2: "It's NOT C*vid"

#1: "It's not C*vid. I've had C*vid. It's not C*vid. When I went to the doctor he had the same cough. He said it was a virus.

Me: "C*vid is caused by a virus."

#1: "Well when I had C*vid I had it good. I was sick. Nauseous. Stomach cramps. This isn't C*vid"

Me: "C*vid has gone thru many strains, with varying symptoms. Even from the same strain you can have different symptoms.

C*vid can manifest in different ways"

#1: Oh. I didn't know that."

Me: "I know someone who had C*vid last year. Her cough lasted for six months. The first 4 weeks were brutal but then it just lingered"

#1: "Well you can hear it in my voice. And I have to sleep in a Lazy-Boy sitting up or I can't breathe"

Me: "I think it's C*vid"

#1: "I worked for 2 years in a Pharmacy & wore a mask. The minute I stopped wearing a mask, I got C*vid"

Me: "This is the mask I wear"

#1: "Oh, I've never seen one like that. Where do you get them? They don't have those in the Pharmacy."

#2: "You can buy them online"

#1: "Do you think I should wear one on a plane?"

Me: "Yes! Planes, hospitals & schools are the worst. But really in any crowded space"

#1: "OK. I'll look them up. What do you know? It's Covid"

#2: "Yes, C*vid."

Me: "Nice talking to you. Enjoy your walk!"
