OT: Coronavirus Resources - and other things to not worry about

I have 49 (paid for them all, not hoarding free ones)... if anyone needs I can also mail and just send me the cost of the tests (think ~10.50) each.

hey, after praising toronto's compliance for the last few weeks, finally had my first unhinged anti-masker follow me into the subway screaming "sheep" and "jew lover" at me so that's fun. think i jinxed myself.
Had that happen at my fourth shot. Some old trumper Karen yelling at us to get educated about the vaccines and we're all stupid. I had to be the only other white person in the waiting room too.

I was finally the one that said " would you shut the fuck up lady, we don't want to hear you ".

"Excuse me?!?!?" I got so I spoke slower...

Shut. The. Fuck. Up. You. Embarrassing. Piece. Of. Trash.

She left.

Love it when they think they're the ones in on the secret.
 
Oh she actually asked the attendant why there were no white people working there.

After I left I whispered to the attendant that white people don’t want to touch her either.
 
Kiddo woke up in worse state today. Still no fever but symptoms have progressed overnight to all of the classic omicron ones so we fired off another test. Hard negative.

The tests are great but we need to make them more sensitive I think if we want to truly use them as a fullproof public health tool. Fingers crossed this isn't the 'vid but regardless I shouldn't have any questions about these results. If he's positive it should show before he gets symptoms, not after. My cousin didn't test positive till day 4!

With that said, I suppose odds have increased that this is just a nasty cold but considering the only place he could have caught it was a fairly empty Sobeys for a quick 5 minute shopping haul it makes me think Omicron is the only thing infectious enough to knock him down like this on such brief exposure.
 
I would swear that it was omicron I had recently but the tests were negative too. I still think that’s what it was, covid the first time felt different than any other illness I’ve had and omicron had similarities to that, not to any regular cold or flu ive ever had. Who knows though.
 
also NS is removing all covid restrictions on March 21, if all goes according to plan. this includes masking. I am not pleased.
 
yeah I mean my paralegal defo had covid (likely omicron), and I was a close contact and had covid symptoms for days and tested negative three times in five days... same with Ms. Wayward. not ideal...
She never tested positive either? God damn. Is she back to 100% at least?
 
she did test positive! multiple times.

don't think she is back at 100% quite yet but still trending upwards
Ah okay, I thought I remembered you saying that. And I suppose she would have caught it from you? So that is indeed weird that you didn't test positive.

Oh well, I'll give a test another go tomorrow with the kiddo. But so far no fever so I think until that happens odds slightly favor a cold. Wouldn't be his first. Despite barely going anywhere this would be his 3rd in just the last 4 months or so. This one seems nastier tho so that's what makes me skeptical!
 
Back to leaning toward the kiddo having the vid and it just being too soon for a positive test; thankfully still fairly mild so far but this can't be a cold. Mrs. Preston has been with him all day for the last few days so she is likely exposed and told me to isolate, especially since I may the only one able to care for those two in a few days. I'm probably a deadman too but she's adamant that it's worth trying.
