If I've had COVID I haven't been symptomatic, but I've relied on a number of negative tests from them to be sure I'm okay after doing things that could have exposed me, like air travel. I never did a 24 hour turnaround test with them so hopefully that means I didn't get any fake results.

Jason Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 3 minutes ago, Joe said: We’re not talking about how many COVID shots we’ve gotten bro. The bivalent shots news has me trying to decide if I should get number five now or wait until the fall. I'm leaning toward now-ish on the card I used to get the illicit third dose in July since it says I only ever got one shot, then again in the fall when the new and improved flavor comes out. Although I'd probably just wait until the fall if I had no plans to get on a plane between now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I haven’t had any symptoms (or if I did, they were so mild they barely registered), so I’m pretty sure I’ve stayed Covid-free, but on the other hand I’ve never been tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Work is dropping the mask mandate in a couple of weeks, although people will still be allowed to wear them if they want to. I will definitely still be wearing one. I should get some N95 masks, though I don't know where they are sold aside from Costco, but I don't have a membership.

CayceG Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I just got the news that a coworker of mine tested positive for covid this morning. We were both in the office together yesterday. My time may have come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakoo Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I also haven't caught covid yet. Me, wife and inlaws have been extra careful because we have a 6 month old. I have been seeing my coworkers slowly get it (we've had 3 out sick with covid) but luckily we're a remote software company so I don't interact with them in person. I'm trying to not be an asshole to people here but my vaccinated dad almost died of covid early this year (he's been in the hospital twice over low oxygen) and probably shorten his life over it. So apologies if I'm being an asshole over not giving a fuck about the feelings of some fat fuck who feels he needs to be able to shove popcorn in his mouth during a movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclumber1 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 My mom just got it, but is doing well according to my wife. My dad hasn't contracted it yet though. We were with them this weekend for Easter, so if we don't get it in the next few days, we are probably in the clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CayceG Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 The worst part of this is that my coworker sits next to another guy who was also in the office, and he and his wife just had a baby. So there's a newborn that's 6 weeks old in the house and now dad is a close contact to a positive test. That's bad! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreePi Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 A friend of mine who I was with at a baseball game last Friday tested positive early this week. We were in a car together for probably an hour and a half driving to and from the game. Fortunately I, as well as the other two guys in the car all tested negative. So far I guess I have also avoided infection this whole time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I was on a hybrid work schedule until July when I came back to LA. Now I'm completely remote and will be for the forseeable future.

CitizenVectron Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I've tried to remain at home, but they've forced me back in for two days a week. I wear an N95 the whole day, but at this point (in an office of 20 with no ventilation) I am the only one wearing a mask. No one saying if they have COVID or not (and there is no requirement to inform or isolate in my province, now), but the amount of people out sick has skyrocketed in the last few weeks, as has the coughing, sniffles, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Pickle Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I’m starting to think that the test really don’t work on the new variant based on friends family’s getting it but some not positive though have the worst of the symptoms I don’t want to think about it because one of my friends got it and we were at a raptors game together and no one else had it but I got a cough (nothing else) and have had it for over three weeks. but as far as our Covid pool I’m not disqualified because I tested 5 times always negative.

If not, we are fortunate that Covid has shown itself to be less severe than other common viruses that kids get exposed to like RSV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
