Mi tradukas, skribante kvazaŭ mi estus @courtcan:

Mia kuzino estas kaptita de KOVIMo.

Ŝia kuracisto preskribis^ Pakslovid’on sed ankaŭ diris «preni la drogon plenas je kromefikoj, do nur ĝin preni dum unu aŭ du tagoj». «Plena je kromefikoj» ŝajne signifas «naŭzon». Tial, la kuzino ankoraŭ ne prenis sian preskribon.

^ ordonis al farmacisto ke iu enigu en si

Kiu stranga kaj nekompetenta speco de kuracisto estas tio‽

Pri rilataj novaĵoj, ŝi estas la kvina persono ie ajn en miaj socirondoj kiu kontroliĝis (?) havanta la viruson ĉi-semajnon. (Neniu el ili ricevis ĝin de mi, bonŝance.)

Cousin has #COVID.

Her doctor prescribed #Paxlovid but told her "it's rough, so only take 1-2 days' worth." Rough apparently means "nausea." Therefore, cousin has yet to take any of her prescription.

What the hell kind of doctor is this

In related news, she is the 5th person somewhere in my various circles to test positive this week. (None of them caught it from me, I'm glad to say.)

#MaskTheFuckUp, y'all. I think this surge is gonna be grim and nasty.

It continues. An elevator mechanic comes into our staircase, not wearing a mask. He sees me wearing my ffp2 mask and almost jumps. Later we notice that the window next to where he works on the elevator is wide open. He opened it, probably scared that i have COVID, but he is still not wearing a mask. Which is WHY i actually am wearing my mask.

I just realized WHY they don't make fit-tested N95s available for mammo staff.

Because money. I am morally certain that's at the heart of it.

Which is incomprehensible, considering, as @PJ_Evans points out, they are also presumably dealing with cancer patients??

I will *probably* be okay. I've gotten away with being the only masked person in the room. So far.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Have you ever noticed that, as bad as you predict it to be, they somehow always manage to make it worse...?
