This is pretty spooky to listen to now, 5 years later. I'm pretty sure the brutal cold that I mention just getting over in the episode was an early case of COVID-19 in late 2019 (like right near the end of December and into early January). And I'd bet the reason why they gave me so many tests (other than insurance fraud...) is that they probably had no god damn idea what was going on with me and wanted to take as many tests as possible to figure it out. Or they knew exactly what was going on with me and still wanted to take as many tests as possible to try to figure it out.

Anyway, my routine has always been when I play repeats to go 5 years back to find a show (preferrably from the same month), which means we get to relive 2020 again - hooray. Just don't be alarmed if you hear me talking about a virus and stuff on the show.

COVID can't travel through time and reinfect you.

Yet.
