COVID-19

This naturally ends in Tatum getting infected in the middle of the NBA finals while Curry, Klay and Draymond don’t get it until the parade

Same here. I’ve done all you can reasonably do to try to catch it, but no symptoms.

Samesies. AFAIK no one in my house has gotten it, and we haven’t been careful about it for at least a year now.

That's because it's a PLANdemic. Duh.

I'm very fortunate to have been in Florida where COVID never existed.

 

[rome8180]

I still think my weird fluke illness may have been covid, but I tested negative multiple times. So probably not.

I really see no way I haven't gotten it at this point. However, maybe I just won the genetic lottery. My mom and my sister's household got it last year, and no one was sick. Also, I have Type O negative blood -- which is supposed to be the least susceptible blood type.

Likely had it as well. Cold/flu for 3-5 days (didn't bother to test because I get cold/flu constantly these days), then constant burning/smoky smell for 2-3 days (tested negative during this period). Household member tested positive at some point in there. Apparently fire/smoke is one of the more pleasant smells to have to deal with, as sewage, gasoline and rotten food are more common.

Have to assume the current subvariant cases are being drastically underreported due to at-home testing and apathy toward testing in general. I'd guess 75%+ of Americans will have had COVID by the end of the current wave. Not seeing a huge spike in hospitalizations and deaths (yet) is a good sign. Common sense says we're at a point with the variants where they're extremely transmissive but extremely mild.

Same odours as Sex Panther cologne

You spell stupidly

 

[rome8180]

I think you mean "stoupidly."

 

[torontoduke]

Sad!

I've had the "I smell smoke" thing several times in the past 6 to 8 months.

 

[rome8180]

Those are just mini-strokes.

Thought I was going to make it. I did not.

We have to wear masks inside our facility now as our county is at High

RIP?

 

[rome8180]

I swear I've known more people who got it in the last three weeks than the rest of the pandemic combined.

I Am Legend.

The physician in the office next to me got it last week. The guy in the office on the other side of me got it last week. The two other physicists in my office got it this week. (One of their desks literally touches mine.) And here I am all alone and having to do everyone’s work.

You almost certainly have gotten it and are asymptomatic, which is great.

Probably because you don’t hang out with the dumbs that didn’t take this seriously and now it’s getting all the people who were being safe the entire time

I wanted to travel overseas this holiday weekend (tickets were cheap even in early May), but I could not justify having to deal with the negative covid test rule. I wish there was some way I could know for sure that I’m a covid Superman.

Fuck you, I don’t have it
