Last day of HS for the youngest... he comes home around 11 and asks if we have any Vitamin I 'cause he's got a sore throat. Wife takes his temp. 102F. Binax home test comes back negative. Scheduled a "proper" test for 4pm this afternoon.

Hopefully it's just some *other* kid cooties.

your kid get a flu shot? my aunt is an ER doc, she said the flu has been bad this year as well.

Yeah - he's got the flu shot, double-vaxxed... at this point it's just going to fuck up the entire holiday. I guess I shouldn't be all that surprised...

Here comes the waiting game. Had contact with someone last week who tested positive today. We both wore masks and both are vaccinated so…
Guess I test tomorrow (5 days after contact).

Are you fucking kidding me?!

I wanted to inform you that we have a confirmed case of RSV in the classroom. We do ask to keep an extra eye out and if your child, and if they experiencing symptoms we kindly ask to keep them home. RSV symptoms are: Runny nose Decrease in appetite Coughing Fever Wheezing If you have any other questions feel free to ask!

COVID or RSV only you can decide!

We went to a small holiday party last night, another small party tomorrow evening, get together with a good (elderly) family friend on Thursday... then supposed to fly to Tucson on Sunday.

Guess your plan is how I'm going to have to go...

Kid 3 has sniffles here in Seattle. Got a PCR test this morning and going to a rapid test now (would home test but forgot to bring our stash and none available because third world nation).

If she’s positive then me getting back to Denver to work Monday-Thurs (and with holiday week staffing they can’t afford me not to be working) becomes very interesting.

You should probably reserve a rental car now.

I’ll know in an hour or so.

Just at pharmacy.
"Appointment for booster? "
"Mid January. "
"Ok"
(pharmacist)
"Come tomorrow at 10am. I'm taking walk-ins. "

Boom.

 

[iRider]

Could reschedule Booster shot from after Christmas to Wednesday. Boom!

 

[Toshi]

Kid 3 is negative by rapid test. so no booking rental cars.

So far......

 

[HardtailHack]

Still waiting from Saturday for my test results, boss was not happy that I wasn't coming to work today.
Oh well, he's the one that came to work with a cold.

 

[maxyedor]

Managed to schedule y booster for Christmas eve at 8PM. Second shot didn’t do shit to me, hoping this one kicks my ass. If I get lucky this one makes me sick and I get to guiltlessly skip Christmas and nobody can complain because it’s a result of doing the right thing and protecting the olds. If this vaccine can’t get me out of holiday festivities then it truly is a worthless Bill Gates hoax.

Wish me luck!

The 2nd one kind of screwed me over, I had an upset stomach for about a month after. Could have been coincidence, but it correlated pretty closely with getting the shot and I haven't had anything like that just pop up out of nowhere. Eventually got better though. Booster was nothin, didn't even notice.

How would the others know if it made you sick or...lets say...if you deliver an Oscar-worthy performance?

aaaaaaand my sister's middle kid has covid as well. not old enough to be vaccinated. he seems to have it very mildly thus far, thankfully.

In terms of acting, I'm more on the Shia LeBeouf end of the spectrum rather than the Javier Bardem one. Looking into a bootleg positive test ATM...

That and my wife is a bit of a narc, she'd rat me out. Which is total bullshit because she doesn't want to go either.

Booster was nothin, didn't even notice.

Why must you be so negative?



In more positive news, it only took 20 months, but I finally found a mask that stays put and doesn't ride up over my eyes due to my silky luxurious beard.

talked to my mom last night, apparently my sister's symptoms passed in about 24 hours. her son that tested positive was still outside running around.

 

[StiHacka]

Back to square one. Omicron is now the dominant COVID-19 variant in Massachusetts (wgbh.org)

 

[SkaredShtles]

Both of the kid's rapid home tests came out negative, as did his "proper" PCR test at the CDPHE site. So apparently he has some *other* kid-cooties.

I guess that's good news. Perhaps we will be able to go to Tucson after all...

I mean, we've already paid for 5 rt tickets... so... I dunno.

Goddammit. Sounds worse the more I talk about it.

Fortunately(?) I did not choose any if this...

We can still hope for a COVID infection before Sunday, I suppose. There's still time!

Good riding down in Tucson. Rent a bike.
