Jeez, George, she just cannot get a break. I keep returning hoping for some good news here. That lingering stuff sounds just awful.

My boyfriend tested positive a few weeks back, and luckily got nothing worse than minor cold symptoms. I was sure I had it too, but tested negative. He got it from work. He works in close quarters, and a lot of his coworkers are lax with their mask usage, while he only takes his off to eat. He thought for sure everyone on his shift must have gotten it, too, but he was the only one.

Maybe he didn't get it at work. The stuff is highly contagious.

We had a family in the community that got together for Thanksgiving. Not a large gathering, just twelve people. One person was in the very early stages and thought she had a case of the allergy sniffles.

Eight out of twelve were positive in a week.

Good to here! I was reading yesterday about all of the ancillary infections people are picking up after this crap. Nasty stuff.

We’ve been living with it in our house for over a week now and (serious knock on wood here) and Karla and I have been fine. I am rather astonished and figuring either asymptomatic infections (will be tested shortly), our vitamin regimen worked, or divine intervention.

@LuFins-Dad it took me almost 14 days of taking care of Steve (who tested positive) before I developed a fever (and I was quarantined so no interaction with anyone else). Separate bedrooms and bathrooms, but I took his temp and O2 levels, and made him food and cleaned constantly, but I was not wearing a mask.

FFS Swabbed at 3:30, Doctor said if it came back clean I could go to work this weekend. Called at 4:45 since it takes an hour... Nurse: “we need another 30 minutes... We’re open till 5:30, don’t worry, we’ll call”. At 5:28 I call and am on hold by the automated system. I get a call from the office on the other line. Switch over and they hang up. Call them back immediately and get “The office is now closed”... Now I have to go to Walgreens at O Dark Thirty in the morning and get swabbed again. I’m starting to feel like the deck of the USS Constitution.

Usually the office has an after hours pager number, no?

Just got caught up here. Know that you are all in my thoughts, and I continue to hope this all passes quickly and without more suffering.

@jon-nyc Thisnoffice has you leave a number for on call Doctor unless it’s an out and out right emergency. I left a message but am not optimistic on getting a call back.

Finding a 1 hour testing site isn’t going well, either.

LuFins Dad · 5 Dec 2020, 02:29

Got a call from the Doc on call. I’m clean and clear to return.

Something went right in 2020 - Mark this on the calendar.

Frankly, I’m astonished that Karla and I didn’t catch this crap.

Very cool.

You taking vitamin D?
