Cerina 2,527 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I wish we had stay-at-home orders. I mean, obviously, there's a lot of other wishes that go along with that, but at least then I would know that our government gives the slightest shit about us. Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie 6,302 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Pretty sure Laura has it. She lost smell and taste today, but there are no test sites available. I also am having mild symptoms. If I have it again, I just hope I make it to Christmas. Link to post Share on other sites
Cerina 2,527 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Dude. Prayers. And it's still cold and flu season, so don't panic just yet. Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie 6,302 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 She hasn’t really been isolating because that’s not really practical right now, but I think I’m gonna sleep on the couch tonight. I’m certainly not sure it’s COVID. But she came to ask me if our big jar of garlic smelled weird because she could barely smell it, and I could smell it strongly while she was halfway across the room. Link to post Share on other sites

Ms. Spam 1,789 Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 OMG. That's terrible. I am sorry. First round of vaccines going out. I would like to be grateful that Trump didn't make us a complete crap hole so that we could afford to get those vaccines. It sucks to be a poor country right now. Link to post Share on other sites
Destiny Skywalker 1,838 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I'm sorry, I hope you are able to avoid it, but yeah, extra hard when you share a house with them. They getting you and the kids tested since she tested positive? Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie 6,302 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I called my doctor yesterday and had to leave a message since it was so late in the day when her results came it. It was something like 4:40. I definitely have it. I went from having cold-like symptoms to being hit by the COVID truck last night. Every breath hurts, and it’s impossible to take a deep one. I have a fever of 101.5, my throat is so sore that I can barely speak, and I am currently wearing long Johns, sweatpants and a warm fleece shirt, a robe, a blanket, and I have a space heater going and I’m still cold.

It’s a little better because my wife has it so I’m not suffering alone and I don’t have to isolate. But I’m also pretty scared. Fortunately I’ve improved a lot over the past couple months, so it’s not as bad as if I had gotten it again in September. Link to post Share on other sites
Zathras 371 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Damn dude! Sorry to hear you have it again. I hope you and your family get over it soon.

I haven’t done anything this year. Everything is Zoom. Most of my shopping is online. I’ve worked from home. I’m the exact person who should never have gotten it once, much less twice.

Destiny Skywalker 1,838 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 How do you think your wife got it? Do they have good contact tracing in your area? I am super pissed. My best friend's daughter has it. She is annoyed because her son is now excluded from preschool until after winter break. She is still sending her teenager to martial arts. THIS IS EXACTLY HOW IT SPREADS, JERKS. Link to post Share on other sites

THIS IS EXACTLY HOW IT SPREADS, JERKS. We're completely overwhelmed, so I doubt we have good contact tracing. The only thing we can figure is that she went shopping and didn't sanitize her hands good enough and touched her face. Otherwise we're pretty consistently avoiding everyone.

Darth Krawlie 5,349 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Just found out the neighbor kid's dad has it. The kid has been over several times in the last week (masks on, at least). Hooray! Link to post Share on other sites

No, they're here with us. We're all supposed to quarantine together. I'm allowed to leave the house tomorrow to go get a confirmation test. Otherwise we're all staying home for the next two weeks.
