Fuck I’m so sorry to everyone and their families. That poor boy. Holy shit to the BIL LYING. I feel really down about this covid world we live in today. Sigh. It feels like it’s really just a matter of time. I hear you friend, it feels like the walls are closing in ❤️

Longest of wows to your BIL, wildflower. Lying about the mask would put my H in the doghouse. Then walking around with symptoms with no regard for others? He’d had to take his stuff and move in there permanently.

Sadly I am sorry to say a fellow student (12) at my DD's school is in the ICU from virus complications. He has MIS-C, multi inflammatory syndrome. He's at the best children's hospital in our region. Oh no, I hope he is okay. That is incredibly scary.

Ok, positive covid anecdote.
The testing site I went to today was awesome. Organized and fast, but more importantly the people who worked there were so chill and kind. Joking around with us and each other, explaining everything each step of the way, everyone walking around in such a way that it gave people space. Working at a testing site has got to be stressful. But these people were all so positive and really seemed like they wanted to put us at ease.

Oh my goodness, sad to see so many currently suffering. Those are really the only words I can come up with. Hoping for quick recoveries for all and that those that are currently negative stay that way. ❤️

I’m sorry for all of you and your families/students that are dealing with this. How stressful for all involved and I’m hoping for quick recoveries (and a good head slap for wildflower BIL) for everyone. I work in a small coffee shop and the owners are very much “the govt. shouldn’t be able to tell me how to live and wear a mask. They were on another state visiting relatives all last week and scheduled me to work with them all this week without testing or quarantine. I questioned my boss on whether she tested and she has yet to respond. If she didn’t test, I’m quitting on the spot. I’m not putting my health in question for those who can’t follow DOH guidelines, especially when we are in closer than 6 feet most of the day.

I would be afraid she got an inaccurate rapid test, or she will say she tested even when she didn't.

He’d had to take his stuff and move in there permanently. BIL has 0 points for him in my book regarding anything. My sister, to quote, "the only reason I haven't divorced him is our kid." So same story, different day? Idk. I'm also side eyeing some of my sister's life choices, but that's nothing new.

He’s put his family in danger by doing this, what an ass.

My sister has it. BIL went to an in-person gaming party, lied to my sister about wearing a mask, and then forgot to do any type of contact tracing when he got sick, claiming it was just a cold. Major side eye to BIL. Major. Oh my god. I sincerely don’t know if my marriage would survive a lie like that.

Ugh. So annoyed. So DD1 tested positive. We are in quarantine. I have zer symptoms. DD2 has zero symptoms. DH has a stomachache.
So DHs job he can’t telework for. So he has those days off. My job I can telework so I have to work. Unless I become sick and can’t work.

DS and I have tested positive. Our date of exposure was 12/27 ( but we didn’t know it at the time) - EXH had a coworker he rode in a car with for work who was positive, he was exposed and got it (totally asymptotic) and then he saw the kids for Christmas on 12/27 and they came home to us that night. DS had headaches and fatigue for two days. I had just a light lingering headache for two days starting night of 12/30 -lasting through 12/31 and slept a lot. Totally back to normal feeling on 1/1 (I did not get my positive test until 1/1 - but it took a few days to get results) I was in complete shock that I was positive. The headaches barely even registered.
The only places I went (before knowing I was exposed of course) was my doc office and work, and I’ve alerted them both. My doc office said that’s why we wear masks and were not concerned since it’s been a week. Same with work - masks and face shields unless I’m in my office alone - so far no coworkers have felt anything. OB said all they instruct pregnant patients to take a baby aspirin and I’m already on that. H and DD are negative but have to quarantine with the same guidelines regardless. Health department said to go get them tested again if they show symptoms only. I’ve talked to the school and they said no negative test is required but to test again if symptoms pop up. Work said the same thing - DS and I are both 3 days post symptoms so now waiting out the quarantine.
It’s been a ride trying to figure out what the ACTUAL instructions are. Luckily the school and health department said the same thing but I had to wait for an administrator to get back to me, so I was in limbo for a few days.

Oh man! I am so sorry, donnameagle. My SIL had covid while pregnant and get pretty bad. I am glad you are in better shape. She has to have weekly nonstress tests for the rest of her pregnancy per her hospital’s protocol. I hope you symptoms don’t get any worse.

I’m already on weekly monitoring appts through the end with MFM so that could be one reason they didn’t sound an alarm cause I’m being watched either way. I’m about 4 days post the small symptoms I had and hoping no new ones pop up. Theoretically they could, so I wouldn’t say I’m out of the woods but I do feel ok now.

I'm so glad that you feel mostly fine donnameagle. I'm sorry you caught it, especially while pregnant. And my gosh, figuring out what the rules are around isolating and quarantining is such a PITA. I can't believe it's not an easier to understand, consistent set of regulations at this point.

Does DD1 have symptoms fancynewbeesly? Are there any concerns with lowered immunity?

H’s grandparents both have it. So far they are mild. Grandma is T1D and (well controlled CHF). Grandpa is in pretty poor health. Hopefully they remain mild. They have been “very careful” except for visiting their local great grandchildren (who are attending public school where masks are not required...).
Stupid Iowa.

cnf , figuring out what to do was a shitshow! Luckily I will say the schools have been consistent but the testing site wasn't helpful in the least and the health department was on holiday at first - it took a minute for me to get someone LOL. Both kids can return to school on Thursday provided no symptoms pop up anywhere.

I missed my vaccine appointment on Saturday (I know... dumb, and unlike me, but pregnancy brain, I guess), and now there are no appointments available when I try to schedule (they did send me a scheduling ticket). I will keep trying, but I am a little worried about that.
