Some people say Prime is ‘afraid of his own shadow’, 'gutless', and 'nutless' (which is half true since he's only got one nut). The rest may be true or may not be, depending on whose perspective we are talking about.
Prime's main worry with COVID was getting pneumonia because he's had it many times during his lifetime. He was also concerned a little because he has asthma. Although he's an old man and old folks tend to get sicker with COVID, he wasn't too concerned about that.
He thought it made sense to take some precautions against COVID. He stayed home more, mainly because theaters, restaurants, and gyms were shutdown. When he went out, he wore a mask where mandated even though he has issues with claustrophobia which cause him anxiety and the feeling of not being able to breath. So, he was vaccinated twice plus had the first booster shot.
Prime caught COVID last February. The first week after testing positive wasn't too bad. Mainly, he was kind of tired feeling, had a cough and sinus problems, but no upset stomach or headaches. The cough didn't go away nor did the sinus infection. After about a month of walking around hacking and blowing dried blood clots out of his sinuses, he went to the doctor. His doctor told him he had pneumococcal pneumonia. He prescribed amoxicillin after two weeks he still had pneumonia. His doctor prescribed amoxicillin again. This time Prime gradually coughed less and less and the blood clots waned.
So here it is June, almost 6 months since Prime had COVID. His hearing which wasn’t great before is now much worse. He has inner ear problems including tinnitus, balance issues and says when he speaks it sounds to him like he's talking underwater or somewhere off in the distance. These problems may or may not be related to his experience with COVID. Turns out inner ear problems like these can result from a sinus infection. Next month, he has an appointment with an ear, nose, and throat doctor. He’s decided to wait before getting another booster, and new hearing aides.
Prime doesn’t believe he is ‘chickenshit’ just reasonably cautious.
