I can't believe I haven't gotten this thing yet. Everyone in my household has had it except me and my pops.

Then 11-yo Nicname Jr (unvaxxed) got it and had mild symptoms for several days in October.
Then 6-month old Baby Nicname got it earlier this month, which was quite scary, but pulled thru like a champ. Didn't even lose weight.
Mrs. Nicname (vaxxed) got it from Baby Nicname, which we knew would happen, and pulled thru like a total boss. Had mild symptoms for 2-3 days.

I can count at least two occasions since the whole thing began where I had what I thought were mild symptoms or lack of sleep/dehydration. One of these occurrences was when Nicname Jr had it; negative test. One was in March of 2020 I think. Very early on. Didn't get tested, but was better after an evening of worry.

My dad has also managed to avoid it, while begrudgingly taking as little precaution as possible. This includes getting vaxxed at much convincing from me. He's also a huge retardo-con/evangelical type, who gets his news from Facebook and other very reliable sources.

My mom and her husband (he's hardcore MAGA, she does whatever he does), both got it last thanksgiving time and were unvaxxed (still are), and beat it like champs. Lost taste and smell for a bit.

My brother's entire family has avoided it. They're a bizarre case of anti-covid vaxxers, one being an RN and the other being a well-respected (former) Nursing Home Administrator. They do/did all the non-vax precautions to the t. I don't get it.

No one's probably interested in reading all this but I figured I'd share.

Mods: move to the do you know anyone with covid thread if necessary.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I particularly liked this line.
I despise him less after watching that.

Still lying like crazy. There is no way the vaccine was going to take 5-12 years under normal circumstances.

Also still taking credit for Pfizer when they didn't take a dime of warp speed money.

Obviously, most of us here are fully on board with COVID mitigation efforts, so we're all on the same page. The following is an email we received at work this afternoon. When you read this, bear in mind that we have these gatherings an absolute minimum of once every two weeks. We still don't have a vaccine mandate, but we're doing this insanity. This place is a disaster.

Quote
We are sure you are battling the same COVID fatigue in reading these messages as we are with sending them! However, given the ever-changing nature of the pandemic and best practices, we want to keep you informed on an update to our procedures. We do appreciate your taking a moment to read this, as it is important.

Starting now and for the foreseeable future, we will be requiring testing for gatherings of multiple people, including events like new hire training, LTeam meetings, team building events/meals, etc. In determining this course of action, we took into account the cost of testing, the time invested in getting and attending an appointment, and the time it takes to receive results.

With those factors in mind to determine the most effective and affordable practice, we will be implementing the following. We will require 2 negative at-home test results, one taken the morning of the day prior to the event, and one taken the morning of the event. We feel that this double testing method should avoid false negatives and be the most cost effective option. The 2 tests should be taken 24 hours apart.
If you are on our health insurance, you can use the company-provided FSA funds to pay for over-the-counter at-home tests. We expect that we can trust everyone to follow this policy without requiring proof of results - please don't abuse this trust by not testing or attending an event with a positive result. As with many workplace policies, non-compliance can result in disciplinary action.

If you are vaccinated, testing in accordance with the above will allow you to follow the current masking policy. If you are unvaccinated, you will need to wear a mask any time you are in a group setting.

We want to thank you for helping us keep our friends and our family safe together as we go through this unprecedented time. We truly appreciate your efforts.

requiring the tests and telling you to use your FSA funds (or pay out of pocket???) is infuriating

Right. And they only give $250 FSA money for the year. It's also hilarious to enact this at a time where there is a nationwide shortage of home test kits, it's like they want people to violate the policy.

Nicname would you be willing to share the progression of COVID that your 6 month old experienced?  I have a 5 month old that im preparing to have every virus under the sun that babies get including covid.

Anecdotally there’s definitely a wave going through my area I think. My boss went to a party for a Dr friend of his recently where everyone was triple vaxxed and they all got COVID!

I think everyone is reporting mild symptoms though. I am definitely not a believer in the theory that Omicron is going to spread from
NY. It’s at full blaze I think.

Theory:  Omicron is an escape variant that will specifically target the vax'd and boosted.

And an article of clarification.

https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/covid-19-pseudoscience/are-triple-vaccinated-people-more-likely-be-infected-omicron-variant-unvaccinated

Remember, our own CDC, doesn't even know exactly how many people are vaccinated or not vaccinated.   They may be off my millions.

These people are just throwing crap at the wall at this point.

Nicname would you be willing to share the progression of COVID that your 6 month old experienced?  I have a 5 month old that im preparing to have every virus under the sun that babies get including covid.

We suspected he might have been infected before he ever showed any symptoms, because his teenage cousin had been watching him two days prior, and then tested positive the next day. A day later he became increasingly fussy, and Mrs Nicname took him to get tested. By the end of that day he'd developed a slight cough. He developed a decent fever for a day or two early on as well. We got the positive test result the following morning, I believe.

The doctor told us all we could really do is keep him hydrated, breast feed him a lot (wife is vaxxed, so maybe antibodies?), and monitor his breathing, dry diapers, etc. They said to bring him in if things got worse/scary.

Over the next couple of days his cough got progressively more intense, then he started wheezing, and had a lot of mucous buildup in his nose/throat.  At one point she was trying to breast feed him and the mucous buildup was so bad he started choking. She tells me she turned him upside-down and performed some type of move that got him to stop choking.

I should add he was in relatively good spirits most of the time during the day when not coughing. Still, that was enough and we took him in the next day. I was worried before, but now scared shitless, truly trying to prepare myself for the fact he might not be around in a week or two.

Luckily the testing and hospital visit were encouraging. His oxygen level was keeping at 98% and they told us the wheezing and mucous issues were upper-respiratory, which is a big deal apparently.

After the hospital his cough slowly weakened, the wheezing went away and he pretty quickly got back to normal. He was off quarantine on schedule 10-days after diagnosis.

I'm very proud of him.


If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I know, but I was full fledged symptomatic. Can I still not spread it with fever and chills possibly? I’m not questioning the accuracy, just seems weird to my non sciencey brain.

seems weird to me too.  dunno.
