COVID is not β€œjust a cold.” Even mild or asymptomatic infections can cause lasting health effects, damaging blood vessels and organs, affecting the brain, and weakening the immune system.

Thought I'd share my Friday Book Recommendation with folks here as well, since this is a special look back.

I concur! Mine have run from dialogue repetition, to locations, to plain numbers...this time, it's apparently "upcoming phrase to notice". Yours?
