#covid #CovidQuarantine Day 5

I miss hugging my family and cuddling my cats. This is literally the longest I have ever gone without physical contact with another human. Even with shows and movies to distract me, my anxiety level has risen a little every day -- and it's not just COVID worry. I can see why long periods of solitary confinement make people lose their minds.

#CovidIsolation sucks.

🚨"The WH on Mon lifted a COVID testing requirement for anyone who plans to be near the Pres, VP & their spouses."

Zients, Cohen, Becerra... & others in the admin, apparently aren't interested in keeping Americans safe, even Pres Biden. The new CDC guideline will increase the spread of Covid infections & endanger many Americans. Why doesn't the admin rely on experts? The new guideline isn't pro-bus. It's shockingly bad.

Unbelievably ignorant. 😶

CDC officially drops five-day covid isolation guidelines

The agency has loosened its isolation recommendations for the first time since 2021 to reflect the changing landscape of covid-19.

I took up a new hobby last October in an attempt to relax & have some mental health breaks from the stress of daily life in this insane world we currently live in. So glad I did. It really does calm me. It’s called zentangle in the purest form although I follow one instructor who has adapted. Tangling (or doodling I guess). I see the patterns everywhere now 😂. This is my latest based on one of her designs and adapted to how I wanted it #COVIDIsolation

"Andy misses his momma," my spouse reports back after Andy's trip to the vet.

It is Day 6 of isolation. A bonus because symptoms didn't go away yesterday.

Andy is my lap cat. In the morning as I awaken, he's there. When I work at my desk or on the couch, he's there. It has been rough staying isolated.

I just ate tempura for the first time in 4 years and cried a little bit. I missed you tempura.

@knlranch I don’t know if this is feasible for you, but if you have a garden (and it’s not too cold) you could get a quarantine tent!

We’re just trying to think of a way to isolate that isn’t going to cost a lot, and will protect the family 🤷‍♀️ ⛺️

#Covid #CovidPrecautions #CovidIsolation

I'm on Day 19 of #CovidIsolation - Still testing positive, headache, nausea, exhaustion.

9 days ago I tested negative, started to feel better, then had #CovidRebound (which 1 in 3 people have) it's also likely if you take the antiviral #Paxlovid (which I did).

Masking was getting a bit much, but after this, there's no way I'll stop. I do NOT want to go through this again or give it to someone else!

Hoping to give my kids their xmas presents sometime soon...

PSA #CovidRebound after #Paxlovid

Yesterday I tested negative for #Covid, today I'm positive again, 4 days after finishing Paxlovid.

Last night I had the worst headache, like an excruciating cluster headache behind the eye.

Today I feel fluey again, low key headache & cough.

During Covid rebound you ARE infectious.

So sad that I'm going to be stuck in this room for even longer, but I don't want to infect my family.

Happy Christmas 😷🎄💗

@Liz @actuallyautistic They aren’t taking any chances!
We have a box outside our window and the food is throw onto it at high speed, then they run back indoors.
It’s then a race to see who gets it first; us or the dogs! 😆
