    My little sister, I love her but she has not worked a day in her life and she is a liberal. She had her 3 boys get the first shot then my wife's issue happened and she decided that no more shots, she is even more grateful that she went no further months down the road and the results and complications are being reported, and the shots and boosters are failures.

    My brother is the nursing manager for an ER in the DFW area. They have had three cases admitted, all homosexual males with indiscriminate encounters. Pretty easy to avoid this one.

    Well If I do not test positive on Thursday I am never going to test positive. My youngest grandson tested positive Sunday. Was around him Saturday he was not feeling well and the wife was looking after him. So pretty solid exposure, a little concerned with my wife's heart issue.

    I'm day 14 and still have symptoms. Not to bad though. One day good and next day bad. For no reason. Still just alot of muscle and joint soreness and dull headaches. I went back to work 7 days ago. First couple days I could only make it 5 or 6 hours before run down, but back to full days now. Just want to get back to normal and ride my bike again and start shoot my bow.

    As much as people say "I just want to get it and be done with it" it sucked, for me. I was that way, but now I will avoid anyone that will possibly have it. I don't want to go through this again. Just try and avoid it as long as you can Sota.

    Sucks because my family has been lucky and avoided it except for my son. I would guess that my daughter and son in law will get it soon.

    Do you have pollen allergies? And take medicine?

    It's weird my whole family got it except my wife. She has bad allergies and takes a decongestant. The job I'm working at , the same thing. The whole family got covid the same week I did, but we got it from separate sources. The husband is the only one in family that didn't get it. Same situation, he has bad allergies and takes medicine daily. I wonder if there is a connection? Don't know.

    Sota, I hope your wife doesn't get it - or goes through it with no issues. Hopefully same goes for you. I always say kids are the little germ spreaders.

    They certainly are. Even though I work in a hospital face to face with many positive cases, I never got it until I went somewhere in the car with my grandson. He was coughing and unlike work, I wasn't wearing a mask and eye protection, so I got it.

    Our exposure was one of this deals we were at a celebration of life on my daughters inlaws, she was obligated to be there so my wife took the boy home, the kid was fussy he is 9 months old that could be teething or a bug. My wife did what grandmas do, comforting a kid that was not feeling good. Never considered potential covid exposure, pretty certain my wife would do it again.

    So far grandson with o- like bump is symptom free as is the o- daughter. Who knows if I don't get it I am immune. Could be that the wife is too she works at a school where the sick kids go thru her office. Have to believe she has been exposed many times.

    pleaSe don't do that- the test kits have large amounts of carcinogens and almost never detect C19 prior to being symptomatic.

    I realize they're 6.0, but my non-professional advise is to up the ante to 80+ proof.
    Seriously though, take a crap load of Vitamin D, C, and zinc.

    ...with the whiskey.
