I just tested positive for COVID-19. Ask me anything you want. Anything. I’m a beacon of knowledge now and essentially a virologist l, epidemiologist, and family physician rolled into one. The power I wield over all you plebeians and proletariat is insurmountable to even the most worthy foe. Ask me my symptoms. Go ahead.

Please take the time off to rest. You may feel fine now, but who knows what’s to come. The billables will be there when you return.

Also, I found that a baby aspirin 2x a day made all the difference (and reduces the risk of clotting, which is apparently a thing).

What state do you live in that's allowing weddings...especially indoors? Texas?

like

Where was the wedding and who else was infected? Was it worth it?

funny

When you were at the wedding, did you go to the restroom? Did you wash your hand afterwards? Did you lick the toilet bowl when you were at said restroom?

I’m curious to know if people are social distancing and taking precaution at the wedding, if 💩 is the source of the virus.

like

Social distancing isn’t enough. You just don’t know where your hands are touching and how good a person’s hygiene is when it comes to using hand sanitizer and then touching face, etc. OP was saying he was dancing without a mask and maybe there were other instances where mask wasn’t properly removed or not worn at all.

Can you not use bombastic words?

funny

Can add that to the covid symptoms list.

like

Did it give you the shits?

Which test did you take and how many days after the onset of symptoms did you take it?

- Did you consider the rapid test/was it available?
- Are you going to be getting the flu shot since winter is coming or are all bets off now for all viruses?

Sidenote: I’m just here for the funny answers tbh

I did consider one but those were a little trickier to find, especially without the whole rigamarole of going through a full examination. I may get a flu shot if I get a wild hair one afternoon. Haven’t gotten one 8 years and still on a great run (read: past results do not guarantee future success).

I am disappointed this response was less funny than I hoped. Regardless, thank you sir.

(I think some puns would really find a home on this thread)

How large was this wedding u attended? And whoever had covid, how responsible for him/her to attend... (assuming that person knew or wasn’t asymptomatic....)

Have you seen a doctor? What’s your POA?

How long is your employer letting you take off?

Not to sound cynical but my question is are you going to try to work through it? Or take the state sponsored 14 paid days off your employer is required to provide?

Other than the body aches that come and go, my symptoms are relatively mild. I don’t have a fever, and since the billable hour never sleeps I will be working through it at home.

What was the first symptom you experienced?

I just did domestic travel and got a sore throat, ofc now im worried.

Aches all over. But that’s the worst I’ve experienced so far. No fever or SOB.

helpful

How long between the wedding and the positive test?

I wonder how many other people you came in contact with and got infected, too. You see how that works when you "live your life?" I pray it was nobody high risk.

If you have any persistent difficulty breathing, consider getting a blood d-dimer test, just in case
