COVID is in my house 😣

[underpants]

My teenage daughter was very sick this morning. Nausea. My wife is at home still and tested her. Positive. We are all boosted.

We’ve contacted her pediatrician. Fluids, Tylenol/Advil, if her temp goes over 104 or her chest gets congested we need to go to the ER.

She was still wearing a mask at school.

My mother in law (out of state) tested positive too. She’s in her 80’s. Just had surgery last week and was in their retirement home’s nursing home anyway. Diabetic.

Here we go. Dammit.

5. really sorry to hear this.

don't forget to ask about that covid drug that is supposed to be started within first 5 days of symptoms (maybe, especially for your MIL)

from google:

The FDA has authorized Paxlovid for anyone age 12+ who is at high risk for developing a severe case of COVID-19. “If you're pregnant, if you're obese, if you're older, if you have comorbidities or if you have underlying health issues, you should talk to your doctor about taking Paxlovid,” says Kenney.May 23, 2022

6. Best wishes to you all. Hopefully you should all be through this in

a few weeks or less. Those I know who have had it recently had the temperature for a couple of days and then a cough which lasted a few weeks before trailing off.

19. sounds familiar

also a bit of a rebound fever I think maybe, but it's hard to tell if it's that or if it's just hot as hell where I am

good luck, fellow plague-experiencers!

9. Boosted plus everyone in my house previously had but we still all caught

Whatever variant. Seemed like the whole country of Kenya has it.

[AlexSFCA]

10. we really need more variant specific vaccine

[gldstwmn]

15. I'm hoping my next shot will be Novavax.

[blogslug]

11. I hope all is well very, very soon.

[gldstwmn]

12. Do the Paxlovid if you can. It helped me. I'm mostly over it with just bouts of tiredness and a

little brain fog. I am also fully vaxxed. Get well soon.

[crickets]

13. Oh, no. I'm so sorry.

Sending all good thoughts your way & hoping everyone will recover quickly.

14. My son with autism lives in a group home and tested positive this week

They think he might have gotten it from his day program. He told me he has a sore throat and runny nose. But no muscles aches. He also had the first three shots. When he’s better I’ll get him the booster.

Even when you try to avoid it the Covid is hard to not catch.

[JanMichael]

29. I hope he gets better soon.

[highplainsdem]

16. I'm so sorry. Hope they're completely well soon and no one

else in your family catches it.

[anarch]

17. wishing strength and patience and health for everyone

Just getting over it at my house, finally, hopefully. Fuck COVID!

[nolabear]

18. I'm so sorry. I guess we'll all face it eventually.

Scary for your mother in law. I hope she does well. Boosters really do seem to mitigate it.

Keep us posted and take extra good care of yourself.

[underpants]

20. Yeah I'm worried about her.

Her age and she’s really not in good health as it is.

[nolabear]

21. It's been awful for the elders.

I’m in my 60s and I’ve never felt so fragile. And heck, in most ways that Covid affects I’m healthy as a horse. What a cruel virus this thing is. We’ve been lucky in some ways, none of us has caught it. But it’s clearly far more contagious now. I know many who have now.

Hang in there.

24. We've dodged it all over.

I was back in the office in July 2020. Skeleton crew but I was out and about.

My mother in law’s retirement home had more than one outbreak. Until now they’d dodged it.

[nolabear]

28. We live within ten miles of the original nursing home outbreak.

Honestly we didn’t know what to do. There was grabbing staples as though we’d never leave the house again. There was NOT leaving the house for a long time, and monitoring all the local hospitals and nursing homes and freaking out. Then the vaccine and a long, slow climb back into the world, nervous as cats but trying.

I guess we just keep trying. ❤️

22. I'm sorry, underpants.

23. I'm sorry to hear that this is happening to you. I'm so tired of people acting like Covid is over.

I just got my ballot in the mail for the Democratic New York State primary for governor.

I'm so disgusted by Kathy Hochul's horrible handling of the Covid pandemic that I'm researching her opponents, David Suozzi and Jumaane Williams to see their stance on Covid. Due to Kathy Hochul's inaction, many New Yorkers have died or became permanently disabled. I could never vote for her because of this.

I hope your daughter and mother-in-law feel better soon.

[UTUSN]

25. Sorry

[Hortensis]

26. Sorry, Underpants. Looking forward to hearing you're all

on the other side of this.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

27. I had two law partners come down with COVID over the last two weeks

They are all boosted and so far have mild symptoms

I hope that your family have mild cases
