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

Is she vaccinated?
Does she engage in full mouth-to-mouth conversations at work?

Three times? Like she is really trying hard.

double vaxxed.

her fiancee was doing testing for a while and seemed to catch it from there, but that ship sailed a few weeks ago (no covid, no need for testing).
 
If she actually catches it again this soon it's hard to not imagine that covid has destroyed her immune system and she no longer produces antibodies, which does happen to some people (and may happen to all of us eventually if we're stuck in a perpetual reinfection loop). Will be interesting to see if she grabs another positive for her portfolio.

NS update - my paralegal, who has had covid three times already, is now a close contact of her sister, who tested positive earlier this week (RAT, and PCR).

New rules say she can basically live life as she pleases until she is symptomatic. So that and most all of my colleagues largely abandoning masks and we could have another office wide covid outbreak upon us... I am still masking when I leave my office but I am the minority and have no leg to stand on to get others to comply (boss is done with masks).

We shall see how it plays out... but I am fully expecting her to get covid a fourth time.

Is there any chance she is just a serious hypochondriac who lives off of drama? I know a few....

"On my fifteenth bout of gout, blah blah"

it's tough to say. on the one hand she just puts her head down and grinds as hard as she can. but on the other hand, hasn't really been a dull day since she came on board.

I also did get screenshots of the thermometer back in the 'fever so high your body will start seizing' days

I remember from childhood that it's really easy to run a thermometer up way too high. It's more difficult to fake an authentic fever and get it right. I used to be great at skipping school.

I was the master of the "I have a fever" trick to get out of school. Plenty of great ways to register a high temp on those things!

Without knowing her at all, if she doesn't have a severe case of long covid, I don't buy her dramatic stories. Violent bout of covid with fevers that could kill a person, hospitalization, random high fever 1+ month post infection and she has just moved on as if nothing happened until now? It just doesn't pass the smell test.
 
The highest I ever got was 104.6, could have been higher I suppose but it was at that point I was on my way to the ice water...I was surprised at the hallucinations. I'd heard it could happen, didn't believe it, but there I was telling my mom that I knew what was wrong, the Russians had gotten to me and drugged my food.

I can clearly remember the convoluted way I reached this conclusion, though it was really about watching some cloak and dagger movies while laying there sick.

4+ grams of mushrooms will do it.

Maybe her sense of smell is permanently impaired.

also what we call paralegals here are not anywhere close to actual ON Paralegals. We hired one ON certified paralegal and she ran fucking laps around the NS paras. Out here its a 2-year community college program.
