How is the corona virus affecting you?

The wedding was open-air, but yes, it is more likely that the wedding on the 27th was my point of contact.

Ahh, I see. I remember what it was like to live in Florida during the winter and be able to do stuff like that outside :cool: It's cold here today, 25F and tonight going down to 16F (about -9C).

Correct, its bearable for about 2 months out of the year, and the other 10 are either hot or raining, or both LOL!

I get it. North Florida (Destin) is where I grew up and the winter can be quite chilly in late January through early March, but there are lots of lovely days as well. And it really doesn't rain much on the beach, it's mostly inland. It can be sunny and beautiful on the beach in May and June and storming 30 miles north.

Here we have about 5 months of decent weather and the rest of the time it is gray and cool/cold/freezing. I think people in Ohio have the biggest deficiency of vitamin D in the entire US.
 
Well, hubby has just had one of those text messages... so it's a sit and wait game now. Rules here are changing all the time so right now because he has had 2 vaccinations, he doesn't need to isolate if he has no symptoms. So we sit and wait and keep our fingers crossed. Currently he has no symptoms.

He also can't get his booster until the end of January because the rules for January are if your last shot was more than 4 months ago then you're eligible. But right at the point where the rules change to 3 months is when his 4 month period is up... :o_o:

I'd like to think that the booster had something to do with my case being so mild. I encourage anyone to get it when they meet eligibility. I hope you and your hubby stay safe and healthy!

You also just picked up natural immunity now.....I'm kinda jeolous. :okay:
I get my booster Saturday, I've delayed it until now to maximize it's effectiveness and because I'm compelled to get boosted.
 
My colleague and her partner are both triple vaccinated, both kids have had 1 vaccine each so far. They are careful, masks, distancing etc...
Christmas eve the son tested positive, Christmas day her partner tested positive, boxing day she tested positive so they had a pretty lousy break because they couldn't go anywhere. Their daughter was and still is negative.
She is understandably annoyed.
 
Update: by around "Exposure + 11 days" which was Saturday, my symptoms were gone... but a home test kit still said "positive".
Today (exposure + 13 days), I'm back to feeling 100% but I will not waste another test kit. I have read that even after recovering, one can still test positive for a while. I will chance it on Wednesday when I go for another Antigen test.
Also of note: home quarantine has been successful thus far with wife testing negative on PCR this weekend.
Remain vigilant my friends!

Sorry to hear that she's annoyed. Hopefully she gets out soon and feels better.
 
*Gross ideas to follow*


A facebook post popped up on my timeline where an antivaxer referred to those refusing vaccines now calling themselves "Pure Bloods" Silly stuff, but in the comments one chap said "Pure Blood semen is the new Bitcoin" :headshake:I couldn't stop myself replying "Your mum must wash away so much money when she cleans your bedsheets".

He didn't like it :roflmao:
 
So, my husband has been going a bit stir crazy and it's been hard for him to stay in the house. He went to the liquor store a few times in the past few weeks, a grocery store, Dollar General store, the dentist (who has a pretty open office with low partitions in between patients), and then this past Sunday he went to the Italian American Club to make wine with his cousins. I have been nagging at him a little about all of this, and he told me not to worry, he wears a mask, etc. Of course at the dentist he couldn't do that while his mouth was open in the chair and there were other patients there at the same time. Before he went to the club I asked him how are they going to taste wine with masks on, and he assured me that it was just going to be him and 2 other cousins who are fully vaxxed and boosted. Well he got there and there were 9 of the cousins there, people made food and they were eating and drinking, hanging out together, and of course the masks came off for that. And one of his cousins had covid over the holidays and was there, unmasked, and her sister and sister's husband both have covid now. They hadn't been anywhere, the only exposure was the cousin who had it. Turns out this cousin didn't test again after she tested positive and just waited a week before going about her normal business because she didn't have any symptoms anymore.

So yesterday I started feeling feverish and had aches and pains. I have bad allergies so my respiratory system was about the same as always, but I was dizzy and achy. When I go to the doctor, normally my temp is 97.1F, which is lower than most people, but my O2 is normally 98. Well yesterday hubby kept monitoring my temp and it steadily climbed in just a few hours until it reached 99.8F, and my O2 was at 93 and then at one point down to 89. I had the heat turned up and had blankets on me but I was still cold. Hubby didn't really have much in the way of any symptoms, I had noticed he had been sneezing some and clearing his throat over the past few days but he also has allergies so didn't think much of it. My fever broke around midnight (nothing in my lungs).

I did one of those home test kits today and I tested positive. There are two lines on the test strip, one is the control line (blue) and the other is the "positive" reading (pink). The pink line was faint, but the instruction manual said that if there was a pink line, even if faint, that was a positive read. I am feeling much better, my temp is at 98F and my O2 is at 95. I am still a little dizzy and tired but overall I am not too bad. Hubby went to pick up my curbside grocery order and when he gets back he will do a test as well.

I have to say I am a little irritated right now. I have been trying so hard to keep us safe and I have turned down work in order to do so and missing out on spending time with family, now this. At least we were both fully vaxxed and boosted, otherwise the outcome could have been much worse.
