COVID-19

[fabrisse]

Sis has the virus, probably caught from either a student or a colleague. When I asked her a couple of weeks ago, she said, "I don't really need a mask." She did get boosted last Friday, but, at that point, she already had it.

Mom now has it.

I don't have a fever, so it's unlikely that I have it, but I still feel poorly (sore throat, sinus). I just had my vaccination for COVID last Friday, along with Sis. I hope it's working.

And COVID? Haven't you looked at a calendar, you're 2019, not 2023.

That's about my reaction.

Waugh!

Sending best wishes for you to NOT get it, and for easy recoveries for your mom and sister.

[fabrisse]

Hugs. Thank you.

arrrgh!!! Have you ordered your free tests yet? Sounds like your household could use them ...

[fabrisse]

No, Sis bought a couple which is how she and Mom found out.

Aw, hell.

Fever is only in 1/3rd of cases, so if you have cold symptoms, you've probably got it.

[fabrisse]

#$%&!!!

Great. Good to know.

[greenygal]

Oh, honey. *applies virtual hugs*

[fabrisse]

Virtual hugs are the safest.

I'm sorry to hear this is happening. Let's hope you all get through this easily.

[fabrisse]

It doesn't seem too bad at the moment. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

I got my flu and covid shots for the fall on Tuesday. On Thursday, husband tested positive. I don't have a fever but my perceived temperature is a little wonkier than usual. Which could be stress, or covid, or just random with me. He's isolating to the extent he can and I'm trying to stay away from people and masking like a madwoman if I have to get anywhere near anybody. Which I mostly don't have to do because my big grocery shopping was also Tuesday, and my freezer already looked like a squirrel predicted a blizzard any time now. I will not be terribly surprised if I end up getting it given our pre-test proximity.

Yes, I was masked when I went to the doctor's office with Mom, but Mom didn't. *sigh

Isolating is still best.
