Are people continuing to work if they have the symptoms of COVID-19 but not yet bad enough to be hospitalized? Curious how accommodating firms are being on that front.

Not at a firm, in gov, but I had it the last two weeks and still worked through it the whole time because the agency was in chaos and it was kinda just expected that I work unless it got too severe since we were classified as “essential”. Beware if you get it though: It gave me a reallyyy bad brain fog that made it very difficult for me to get work done as quickly as normal.

While he was at Walter Reed getting treated for COVID-19, the president pushed the idea of looking weak and frail when he left the hospital only to rip open his button-down shirt and reveal a Superman t-shirt underneath, according to the New York Times.

Have any of you used this while pregnant and it turned out fine? Any other insights that can give me some peace of mind? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
