I need to vent somewhere. I just went off o H and I feel and but I’m pissed at his works Hr lady right now. For perspective he works in an agricultural tractor store, so essential business but also very customer facing. One of his coworkers started feeling off last Wednesday but is pregnant with twins so chalked it up to that. Came in Thursday and has been out since hacking up a lung and blowing her nose non stop. Apparently she went to a pharmacy and got a drive through test but results aren’t back yet. HR told her as long as she could get her coughing to stop and no fever to come in regardless of waiting on test results. I’m so livid. I told H this needs to get to upper management asap. I can’t imagine what customers would feel if they knew she was there sick. I do not understand the cavalier behavior when it comes to this. I really don’t. I hope she’s negative for everyone’s sake.

I told my sister and she was very sad but understanding. FUCK COVID. I’m glad she understands. Fx for vaccinations before her wedding.

Ugh cnf, I missed that DD2 tested positive. I should probably post stalk, but how are you holding up? Doing okay? We're doing ok. Kids are restless when they're feeling good and whiny and needy when they're not. We're just trying to figure out what makes the most sense to keep us all healthy enough and sane. Such a difficult situation. I’ll be keeping you all in my thoughts.

Dr. Cox, I was in the lounge at a hospital in that area a few years ago and hear a doc (either neonatologist or ob) say, "if you can get the baby to 28 weeks gestation, there is at least a chance they will be a republican"

Hugs to everyone. Healthy thoughts to all.
We’re SO close and if everyone just womanned up and did what we’re supposed to do we could get this under control.

You I’m not buying there’s a learning curve for distribution of the vaccine.
We’ve done this within the last sixty years. Had this administration gotten its shit together earlier then distribution could have waaaay more seamlessly

I told my sister and she was very sad but understanding. FUCK COVID. I'm so sorry. Are they not willing to postpone until fall or 2022? My cousin is getting married in June, originally was June 2020. I won't be going but he's been an asshole to me so I'm good with just gifting.

I won't be but he's been an asshole to me so I'm good with just gifting. I’ve suggested and no. They think they are doing all the right things, but regardless of how it’s set up, it’s way more travel than I’m comfortable with. My mom was nice to me today and she ubeer stood as well. I just don’t get the need to have a large wedding in May. Why?

Rep Ralph Abraham (the one he worked for) is on CNN saying that THIS pandemic that killed Rep elect Luke Letlow. Something about how this has to be a different pandemic because it isn’t supposed to attack healthy 41 year old males, females and kill them. I’m very blindly guy and wondering what these people have been thinking we have been dealing with.

So i got a call back about a vaccination trial I had filled out info for. I think I’m going to do it. Am I crazy?! If I get a chance to vaccination with an approved one, they will open the blind to let me know if I was placebo, so I can get an approved one. Seems great, right?! Unless the J&J vaccination ends up sucking or I get a terrible side effect??

I hope they find a way to help them recover and keep them from further damage. The long term effects have been my hill, especially with the “it is just the flu” crowd. Heart, kidneys, brain fog, exhaustion, and so many more things are what friends who have had it complain about weeks and months later while some have nothing.

I'm so angry right now. DS's karate teacher was exposed to covid on the 16th. He emailed on the 23rd that he tested positive. In theory none of the kids at the school were exposed. Tonight he posted on FB that he was out to dinner with his grandson, indoor dining. Only 7 days from his positive. What the actual fuck?

Well, having known someone that tested positive and then like a week later appeared to be at a bar with friends unmasked... her doctor said 10 days after first symptom she could be back in the world. So I’m guessing it’s something similar. Doesn’t seem quite right though.

My H had an appointment at the transplant clinic and was talking to the CNA who told him how she was talking to an anti-vaxxer at a... Christmas party. She herself seemed rather confused about how vaccines work but all the staff had been vaccinated last week and apparently it was mandatory, thank goodness. And she works with patients that are immunocompromised/high risk. 😒🤦🏻♀️😖 I had to take a deep breath to not scream here. 🤬🤯
