This is how stupid you are Jenny Stokes - that you believe one can have Long Covid without having Covid - yes I remember that comment. (If I find the comment, I will link it here). Does your stupid and insecurity have NO lower bounds? How low can you sink Jenny Stokes?

You like to leave your 'droppings' (your comments) within a certain time range all over the place and then run away LIKE THE COWARD you are and never respond when challenged.

Seriously, you desperately need 'professional help' - go seek it instead of bothering other people.

Also, while you're at it - LEARN TO READ. Then work on your READING COMPREHENSION skills. I dare you.
