During the pandemic my wife was panicking about Long Covid. I said the chances of getting that are too low. And we got vaccinated and we masked up. Then the children went back to school, everyone got sick and now I can only lie in bed 24/7.
You weren't wrong. Just unlucky.
Well that fucking sucks, mate. I hope you're in a place where disabilities don't mean you're abandoned by society.
I'm so glad to be living in Germany. And that I'm a good German who insured himself against being unable to work.
I'm getting an early pension and my wife is paid by health insurance to care for me. Those together with the insurance mean that we can keep on living more or less like before.
