Daughter1 and I just had our first positive covid tests, with symptoms, luckily hers are minor.
But it's her birthday week. :(
I'm guessing someone at work is #covidpositive, because I've been nowhere else. It's not surprising given the noises I've been hearing in our open-plan office. Reported in the UK app and to school, and I'll contact work tomorrow. *That'll* be fun.
@novid I will admit that I’m not sure that 7 days is enough time to *officially* conclude that he avoided COVID altogether. But, given he and the #CovidPositive girlfriend had been breathing the same air every day before she tested positive, none the wiser, I’m sure he was exposed to a fairly significant amount of #ViralLoad.
The puzzle of how much different people shed virus/viral matter is so interesting, confusing, and annoying 😂
Talked to a colleague today who is #immunocompromised after a #HeartTransplant. They've been having inexplicable fatigue and muscle/joint pain for 6-8 weeks that gets worse with exercise instead of better. They were #COVIDPositive 12 weeks ago.
I mentioned #LongCOVID & they had not heard of it.
Three years into the pandemic, the recipient of an organ transplant - w/ multiple medical teams in multiple states - was unaware that COVID could cause long-term disability. No one told her.
(2/2) I'm used to my family being crazy and irrational, paranoid and refusing to self-educate, but my partner's family? I love them.
I have always said I don't quite trust the brother in-law. My partner and her sister have always said how great a guy he is, but something about him just doesn't feel right to me. He doesn't feel safe.
I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt because I have had trauma and I have trust issues because of it, but I feel once you have been around toxic people you can sniff them out.
Anyway, thanks for reading if you did! I don't know where I'm going with this lol Think I'm just frustrated. I'm all for people believing what they want, but when it affect someone else's health then no. I'm pretty sure that means they're a selfish arsehole.
(1/2) This christmas, part of my partner's family came in from interstate to visit. They're currently staying at my in-laws.
The husband, my partner's brother in-law, does not believe in covid. I haven't quite confirmed if it's the same for my sister in-law and their kids though. They are also all anti-vaxxers.
The kids start getting sick just before christmas and I'm thinking to myself "Might be covid... why aren't they testing for it?"
A couple of days later, my other sister in-law (does believe in covid and is vaxxed) tested positive for covid. Then my father in-law, in his 70's, tested positive for covid.
Still.... The interstate fam won't acknowledge covid. They keep saying it's because they're sleep deprived.
The brother in-law even went so far as air quoting covid when he was talking about "if we believe in it."
Et bim.
La 2ème petite barre sur le test n'est presque plus visible... mais tant qu'on l'aperçoit, c'est un ticket perdant #covidpositive.
Pfff. Y a bien plus grave dans la vie, mais j'enchaîne les maladies depuis début décembre... Ras le pompon de l'isolement et de la bouffe au goût de savon^^
After escaping the wrath of #Covid19 for the past three years, China's opening and abandonment of #ZeroCovid was my downfall. In some ways, I'm happy to be getting it over with now before I move back to Canada next month.
