I’m now another statistic.

[gamer.tv]

Just tested positive for Covid-19. Sad as it puts a huge amount of pressure on the people I work with and I’m worried about giving it to my family.

 

Plus side, I’ll be working from home for the next week or so (unless I feel horrendous) and I can teach my class from home.

Sorry to hear. Keep us updated on your symptoms.

So far, it feels like a cold with a bit of a cough added in. If I hadn’t tested positive- I’d be working as normal.

Where’s the 4th shot Obama?

I've been hacking up a lung for the better part of 3 weeks and it's somehow *not* COVID, so... Mask on, cough drops on deck, and back to work I go every day. #murica

Couldn’t be the smoke filled work environment you have been in for years.

Where do you live that you can smoke indoors? Portland banned smoking indoors in like 2008. Even New Orleans banned smoking indoors.

 

I pretty much associate indoor smoking with rural dive bars and casinos.

[CastlevaniaNut18]

I still haven't gotten it. Seems crazy.

 

And yeah, other than a few dive bars, I don't know where you can still smoke indoors. It's been a long time.

Ok. Let me rephrase.  Do you smoke cigarettes? Weed? Vape? 

[DarkStar189]

Hope you get better quick!

[Keyser_Soze]

Hopefully it doesn't affect you too badly you bloke!

[Nokra]

Godspeed, you maverick renegade! 

 

 

 

But seriously, feel better soon, and keep us updated!

Sure I’ll be fine.

Did a day of teaching online - it could have been worse. Half day tomorrow then some planning time in the afternoon. Really hope I test negative come Sunday.

After two years of this fun, my wife finally tested positive on Monday, and I today. We both have shots and boosters and she is on antivirals so we should be good in a few days. Not a lot of symptoms for me, my wife though is has a pretty bad cough and head ache.

What was the point of the shot then? Biden said you wouldn't get it if you got vaccincated.

Hush now, this is adult talk.

I'm genuinely curious about your reasoning behind getting the shot if it did nothing for you?

Keeps the medical bills and, y'know, dieing at bay. At least 99.999% of the time, and no that one in 10,000 or whatever time that someone died after getting the vaccine doesn't prove the vaccine doesn't work. If someone broke into your house while it was locked you wouldn't assume your lock was pointless, so you might as well stop using it.

[Captain Pickle]

Wow

[CastlevaniaNut18]

Gotta love how the pandemic has turned idiotic mechanics into medical experts.

My shoes fell apart after I wore them. I'm going to stop wearing shoes. They are a scam and don't work, bare feet work just fine. I did my own research.

It’s okay y’all the pandemic is over and most of society has returned to normality.

Thanks for the laugh but I didn't ask you. 

Instead of being really sick I had cold-like symptoms for 2 days. Compare that too: hacking cough, fever, headache, loss of taste and smell…I’m glad I’ve had my 2 vaccines and one booster,

So you had a cold?

I tested positive for Covid with a PCR (and an LFT every day to see when I can get back to work), but it feels like having a cold, at least for (vaccinated, non-vulnerable) me.

I’m not vaccinated. Why did it feel the exact same way for me?

You were lucky? Had a less severe strain? Aren’t clinically vulnerable? Have a good immune system? 
 

I’m not an immunologist so I couldn’t really tell you I’m afraid. 

[CastlevaniaNut18]

Sooo many experts. Why did I even go to school?

So defensive. I’m not claiming to be a expert, unlike you.  Just saying what I personally experienced. Shouldn’t you be running out to get that 4th shot?

[CastlevaniaNut18]

You have this weird new schtick where you make claims about me with no basis in reality. Hope you’re okay. 

[CastlevaniaNut18]

And I’ll get a 4th shot when I need it. Just had my booster 3 months ago. I have no issue with vaccines and they did me no harm.

It’s not a schtick. Just tired of your shit and putting up with it. 🤷‍♀️

And I’ll continue to have zero shots and be exactly like you. lolololol

[CastlevaniaNut18]

I still haven't gotten covid. And I do it for my patients, my family, and myself. I believe in evidence-based practice. It's kinda what my whole career is built around.

 

Also, I have no idea what I'm supposed to have done to you, so yeah, it seems like a weird shtick. You just seem angry and antagonistic.
