In what part of the world, is covid still a thing? It's a genuine question, I'm not trying to troll, but in my part of the world, covid was done and dusted a year, year and a half ago. Nobody gives a shit about it anymore.
Last I saw about it, was a month ago, when some news came out, saying that with the amount of blood donors, that had antibodies for covid in their donated blood, they estimated somewhere around 80-85% of the population where 'immune' or at least resistant, to covid, because they already have had it, or got the jab.
Covid is not really a useable excuse anymore. Unless you're a lazy, old, horney bastard like me. That was a joke.. Or was it..?
Ukraine is only usable if you live in Ukraine.
Edit to add, I only just noticed your post was from August, so I'm late to the party.
