    Another buddy of mine just got out of the hospital. Had COVID, pretty darn close to dying last week. 37.

    Mother-in-law likely has it.

    Me, my wife, and our kiddo are all sick, too, but not COVID, so, could be a hell of a lot worse.

    Just because COVID is the star of the show, doesn't mean all the rest of the crud went away. Thanksgiving weekend produced only one positive COVID test in the entire parish, but there was a butt-load of bronchitis making the rounds.

    Hang in there and hope you feel better soon.

      Fucking hell.

      I wake up, my wife texts me: don't come downstairs, we both have COVID.

      Please love yourself.

        Our daughter is 3. So, unvaxxed. Coughing fits, 102 fever.

        My wife just kinds sounds like she has strep.

        I get my test in an hour but is there any point to taking our daughter to the hospital?

        Please love yourself.

          Is there a public health line you can phone regarding your daughter? Personally, I would try to avoid a trip to the hospital emergency unless possible strep is the cause. Even then, your family doctor may be a better option than an emergency room. If not strep, not much the ER can do about a virus even if they do see her.

            Both your daughter and wife tested positive? Or your wife and you? OTC test or have you guys been to a clinic? I’d call your PCP and get their advice first and foremost, but a 102 degree fever isn’t as serious for a toddler as it is for an adult, but I wouldn’t want to see it over 103.

            I tend not to trust the OTC tests and would get to a drive thru test site.

              My thoughts as well, Renauda.

              @LuFins-Dad OTC test, all of us took two tests. Results:
              Me-neg-neg
              Wife-pos-pos
              Kiddo-pos-pos

              Hard to argue with those results.

                  Yup. You probably won't be advised to go to a hospital/whatever. THey'll just advise you to ride it out and contact again if things get worse.

                  I assume your wife is vaccinated?

                      Yeah, Moderna.

                      Here’s the rough part, is your wife feeling up to taking care of the little one?

                      @LuFins-Dad That's all a little complicated, but I don't understand why it needs to be.

                      • kiddo has been sick like this for days, now. We thought it was RSV, the way she was acting.
                      • wife just started feeling like ass as of yesterday. So right now she's more or less okay, just headache, achey generally.

                      We're quarantining, but my thing is, freaking why? Why put both of them through the terrible bullshit of taking care of themselves in the stupidly off chance I can keep from getting it? I'm already sick anyway, I got my flu shot two days ago. Cost-benefit, I'm just not seeing it with quarantining. She wants me to stay away so for now I am, but I don't get it.

                      Please love yourself.

                        I agree. If Aqua does test positive but remains asymptomatic I suppose then at least, he can help out with mom and the little one.

                            Kiddo is coughing a hell of a lot and very grossly, but she used to cry a lot afterward (that was two days ago and yesterday). Today she just coughs a lot but gives no shit, keeps playing. I take it as a good sign? Sometimes 102 fever, sometimes no fever. O2 completely normal.

                            Wife sounds a bit miserable but she's sounded worse. Some coughing, not a ton. But she started to show symptoms yesterday morning. It could be early yet. Low-grade fever. O2 completely normal.

                            I have no idea how I can't have this shit.

                                I have no idea how I can't have this shit.

                                You will, in all likelihood.

                                You guys have a pulse oximeter, I trust?

                                  You’ve boosted, that’s helped. Plus, I wouldn’t discount your Vitamin D intake.

                                  I felt the same when Luke had it and we didn’t catch it… No idea how…

                                          I would gobble down some fucking horse paste right now if I could find a doc to give it to me. Or a vet. Likely my wife would too.

                                          Our kid eats plastic, so, no reservations there.
