       @trebetheric @DenisCOVIDinfoguy @auscovid19 I had the same reaction, I think the writer messed up and flipped it around. He says his finger pads went soft, so he can't play with a pick anymore? The article makes more sense if he means that he prefers playing with a pick now, because his fingers are out of shape.

       @snarkweek He uses a pick because he can't strum? @trebetheric @DenisCOVIDinfoguy @auscovid19

       @Tooden @trebetheric @DenisCOVIDinfoguy @auscovid19 Strumming is a third maneuver I didn't think about, but it doesn't involve the finger pads.

       @snarkweek No, but it would cause pain to the fingertips, anyway. @trebetheric @DenisCOVIDinfoguy @auscovid19

       @Tooden @trebetheric @DenisCOVIDinfoguy @auscovid19 You think maybe he would get blister on his little finger? Or maybe get a blister on his thumb?
