    As I've mentioned, she lives in suburban Milwaukee. The attitude throughout the state, according to her, has been pretty blasé. She sees packed bars, no masks, etc. It really pisses her off, and as she texted, "karma's a bitch." Trav's ex has been particularly vocal about this being just a bad flu, and she plans on not getting vaccinated.

    D2 has used the "C word" several times in reference to her.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            Please let her get out of the woods, completely out of the woods and into the open.

            I scrolled to the beginning of this thread, Oct. 6. It all started with a bit of a sore throat, low-grade temp., and then we all started guessing on whether this was Covid, or not. And since we all love our George, we were rooting for the "not."

            And it's Nov. 28th today.
            Damn, what an awful disease that just won't go away and leave people alone!

              This thread is like watching a slo-mo train wreck...

                  Yup. She's been living with him for the last 2 years, and they've been in a relationship for 3 years - before she went to Fort Wayne for her internship.

                  When she got sick, 8 weeks ago, she self-isolated. After being afebrile, and two negative tests, she broke isolation. Because of BF's work, he gets tested frequently, and has always been asymptomatic and negative.

                  His ex is a real nut job. I'm not sure if she's an anti-vaxxer, but it wouldn't surprise me if she is. She's the typical Cheddarhead® denier. Their three sons are pretty much the same. They are aged 20, 17 and 10.

                  D2 is beside herself.

                  It's going to be an interesting 48 hours, to be sure.

                        BTW, BF's Mother and Father also tested positive. His Mom was OK, with mild symptoms. Father spent 2 days in the hospital and on O2. A few days ago, they were talking about intubation and ventilation.

                        He's home now, and I guess he's OK, or at least no sicker.

                        This is a fucked-up disease.

                              Thanks, I’m confident he will be fine. He finds it pretty interesting right now, drinking and eating things that he can’t taste... But he is otherwise fine. No fever or other symptoms. He had felt a little tired on Thursday, but had been up to 3AM working on College Applications (and likely some video games with his friends) so we just chalked it up to that...

                              Having to put all of us in isolation right now will be difficult...

                                    @Friday I just consider it him getting his immunization early…

                                    Seriously, I’m a dad. Of course I am going to worry. He’s young and knows that he’s at little risk, but he’s got to be a little worried too, which is why we’re both up at two watching Genndy Tartakovsky cartoons and will probably be up all night.

                                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
