There's a very strong strain coming through, it took me out like a truck. It started as a throat tickle and 24hrs later I had a fever of 102f. (I'm vaxed).
I had spent a week shopping and hanging out in Tokyo, maskless and must have contacted it early. We also changed our plans to go south to Kyoto, Osaka and Hiroshima because of the excessive heat. We went north to Sapporo and boy, I do not regret that. Its so temperate, you can actually spend the day outside instead of dodging the sweltering heat like desperate gophers going from one ac cave to the next. Loved Tokyo though, I'm a shopper.
Anyhow, the moral here is to keep your mask ON, sanitize the shit out of everything, go at your own risk if you're imunocomprimised. I'm sitting in bed in a hotel in Sapporo, day 5 absolutely miserable with chest, throat, ear, sinus pain. Exhausted. No voice at all, it's gone. Cough that rattles like a maraca, and ungodly coloured phlegm. Also there's this 30% mortality rate Strep A thing going around too, but that's a whole 'nother beast.
Godspeed and I hope you do not suffer my fate.
