Well, I didn't get Covid after that conference. A lot of the intervening time has been quite high stress though, I'm currently in the joys of the Austrian unemployment system and firmly concluding that I should just have taken the financial hit of not having the unemployment money pittance paid to me, given that the amount of time they're mandating me to spend jumping through hoops vs what they're paying me is an absurd ratio and the stress is really messing me up.
There are some hopeful signals re me finding a job, but I probably can't post more on that until it's been properly signed off, not wanting to count chickens etc...
