MarSolo Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I swear I’ve been lucking out. I’ve gone to large gatherings multiple times haven’t had so much as a sniffle the last two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I keep thinking I have it but it’s my goddamn allergies with the ground getting wet. Some sort of mold I know I’m allergic too is running rampant but same shit I’m to look for with Omicron. I know I don’t have it because my neck will randomly break out in hives after being outside with the dogs. Although my sleep has been shot the past 3 nights with me feeling hotter then hell. I’m sleeping with my window open and ceiling fan are at night, during “winter” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Called my uncle to tell him we wouldn’t be coming for the Christmas party for my mom’s side of the family this evening. He said he was about to call me as the party was cancelled due to how many people were coming down with Covid. This part of my family is like 95% vaccinated and the majority of adults are boosted. Omicron is coming for everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Update BiL confirmed positive Covid test. My sister and one of their children has it as well.

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 While I’m feeding the baby my wife is talking to her friends and one is telling about her partners recent covid diagnosis. They called into work and said that they’re feeling sick but work said essentially that it’s too late you have to come in anyway. Turns out they got covid and their work still wanted them to come in! And this was at a media company in New York! No shit we can’t get this thing under control! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I had to go drop off a trailer I borrowed to pick up some equipment. About 4 hours round trip. I get back home and notice food containers from a local restaurant we frequent. I assumed they had ordered delivery. Nope, wife and the in-laws all went out to eat despite almost certainly having 6 or 7 currently symptomatic Covid cases in the group that went. I am usually pretty gentle with how I talk to my wife, but the juxtaposition of that outing with them voting not to allow the other Covid positive family members from coming to Christmas and my family cancelling Christmas due to Covid cases really sent me over the edge. Just selfishness and hypocrisy of the most obvious on display. I told her she should apologize to her sister for excluding them from Christmas and then turning right around and exposing a bunch of people in a restaurant without a care. Her family is full of inconsiderate morons that take advantage of me not being there to pressure my wife into whatever idiotic ideas they have. This isn’t the first time, but it just may be the last. And now my throat is a bit sore and my nose a bit runny. Gonna go get tested in the morning, not that it matters. Going to operate as though it’s Covid regardless. One thing I wish would become more common is staying home when you’re sick even after Covid eventually recedes into endemic status. Tons of negative externalities with sick people being out in public even outside of the pandemic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, although I know I wouldn’t be impacted (employment wise) by being ill, I still have a hangover from a previous job where being off was a terrible thing. I remember being in a manager meeting where it was agreed we wouldn’t give someone a chance to progress (well, a very small sideways move) as they’d been off twice in 6 months. It was senior management opinions that we just went along with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a lot of it comes down to the understanding workers have that things like that do get counted against you even if they are afforded to you as law or merely company policy. “Good” employees always show up, even though it would actually be better for the firm if sick employees stay home and avoid spreading their illness to others.

marioandsonic Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I just went to my last Christmas family get-together. Nearly everyone in my family is vaxxed and even boosted.

CitizenVectron Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Our niece who we took in with us to continue schooling (who was kicked out by her trash mom) is moving out...back to her anti-vaxx mom's. The reason? We said she can't go out with friends for the next week or so while we wait for more info on our Omicron wave. We suspect she has a secret boyfriend. More to follow in the community thread when I have time, but we're upset. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
