One family got into a huge argument cause one of the adult kids flew into town while sick as hell for the holidays. When the family saw he was sick they made him get a hotel until he tested negative. Turned out he had Covid. The family won’t let him see the elderly mother since they want to avoid putting her at risk so he gets pissed and flies back home. I also feel for the other people on that plane cause you know damn well he didn’t properly mask up.
Sounds like something an anti-vaxxer would do.

Quoting for good info. This is how we used to do it at my job before switching over to the nasal rapid tests:

No food or drink for twenty to thirty minutes prior to testing
Three big coughs
Swab along gumlines for fifteen seconds
Swab roof of mouth for fifteen seconds
Swab under tongue for fifteen seconds

There May Be A Better Way Of Detecting Omicron

If you get COVID how long do you have to wait until you good to play physical sports with other people (soccer/basketball)? And is it from test result or last day of symptoms?

My mom is in home health care and just told me the daughter in law of one of her clients got COVID and didn't even give her a heads up before she went to the house and she was right in front of her :snoop:

My mom is boosted so I just told her I'm gonna get some rapid tests and that she'll be ok. Now I'm pissed at this lady :smh:


It’s crazy out here. On a spin of this a friend I know is living with her mother. She moved in last year because her moms got Covid and she was already high risk. She got over it but is dealing with the long Covid effects so my friend is her caretaker


She said they have a nurse who comes to see her twice a week. When she came last week she was coughing ( while masked up ) Come to find out the nurse has Covid :gucci:


Two days later my friend and her mom got it. She said this go around is way worse than last year with the symptoms. She called the health agency the nurse works at pissed off and they told her they can’t make anyone get tested :gucci:


Oh yeah they are in Florida :snoop:

Update:

Going into day 5 now


My aches and chills are gone finally, no more fever at all, appetite is returning though I am still a little rundown energy wise and my muscles feel tired. I feel like I could laydown and sleep for 2 days. But other than that I'm feeling pretty good and will be back to myself in a few days.

This ended up being a mild case overall and I never felt like I was not gonna make it or anything but it was uncomfortable af and something I never wanna go thru again. Days 1-3 were the fukking worst
Five here. Woke up with strength. Haven’t had this feeling in days. Slowly but surely getting back to it but yes mentally emotionally physically this probably the worst thing I ever went through. Couldn’t imagine getting it in 90 degree weather.

This is a deliberate, systematic destruction of thought. The idea that nurses and doctors can easily save thousands of people a day yet let them die to keep the COVID conspiracy going is wild, on a scale that might be crazier than 911 truthers or fake moon landing stuff. If a medical professional is advising ventilators it means you're probably about to die and it's the only option left to potentially keep you breathing.

This is an extension of the anti-teacher, anti-CRT stuff we've seen. The idea of parents dictating treatment to a medical professional is wild but here we are. Expect more anti-vaccine state laws, more attempts to allow people to sue providers for nonsense, etc. They are systematically burning pillars of a civil society folks.
