So my work tests us each week on Tuesday. I was under the weather for Wednesday/Thursday and was deliberating whether or not to suck it up and go in or call out. I called out because I have a ton of unused sick days, and so I could watch the hearings. Now I get a text to quarantine for 10 days.

My worst symptom is a tiny cough, cold nose, and eyes sort of shutting on me. Like a regular cold. I’m already better than what I was just by drinking cranberry juice and taking ZMA zinc.

What the heck man. Guess I’ll update you all how this weekend goes recovering. Kinda pissed I can’t go to work and am forced to use vacation time. Kinda excited to watch the hearings live with you all.

MAGA!

OMG you’re still alive. It’s a fucking miracle! Everyone else is dead. You’d better hide before they finish you off. Seriously pepe, get better.

Take it easy, treat it as a serious thing just in case. It probably isnt, but there is a small chance the way your body reacts to it might be no joke. So take care of yourself and get lots of rest

Thank you I know I’ll be fine because I’ve always taken a ton of vitamins and supplements. Mostly worried about my parents. Ordered quercitin to add to my stack just in case.

There’s a law that you don’t need to use your vacation/sick time.

Hope so! Boss said he would reach out to HR about “allocating time for days off”

Yep. It should also be on your state employment website. I just drafted our Covid policy earlier this year. You cannot be forced to use PTO for this.

Ditto if you are asked by the company or doctor to quarantine due to exposure.

You get 14 days.

One more thing, to the extent possible you can offer to work from home. Shows you are flexible and willing as long as you are able.

For the most part employers are being very cautious with this because the laws and updates are changing and most of them are erring on the side of caution.

You offering to work from home shows good faith on your part. No, per the law you don't have to. However, a little good will goes a long way right now.

We've had 2 people have to quarantine due to exposure. Just moved their work to remote knowing that full duties would not be possible. It worked for everyone involved.

Quercetin supplement it works like HCQ but less potent. Green Tea and ginger is good too.

I’ll look that up thank you! I’m mostly worried my mom might need it. She has cold synmptoms too but also body aches. No test yet

Zinc is important. The best one that is absorbs into the body is Zinc Picolinate.

4
KnightKreider 4 points ago +4 / -0

Zinc, melatonin, vitamin d and c. Load up. Quercetin helps the zinc do its thing. This is part of the math+ protocol. Works best early on.

Congratulations! You caught nothing.

  • ~5% of those with symptoms test positive
  • ~5% of those without symptoms test positive

You can do the math from here.

Bonus points: can you tell what the false positive rate is?

For those who are really bad at math....

Let's say 100 people have covid and 900 do not. Of the 100 who have covid, 10 show symptoms. Of the 900 who do not, 90 show symptoms. So 100 show symptoms.

If 5% of those who show symptoms test positive, that's 5 people. How many actually have covid? 0.5 or 5%. Meanwhile, 5% of those without symptoms test positive -- 45. Of those 45, only 4.5 have covid - 5%.

What does a positive test mean?

NOTHING.

Try Campbell’s chicken noodle soup, DayQuil, and a can of Sprite. Or beer, it’s cool on your tongue!

I've had a headache that won't quit for 2 weeks. Any headache for you? I despise anything bureaucratic, particularly this hoax lockdown mask bs, so i have not gotten tested.

1
EnemiesDestroyed [S] 1 point ago +1 / -0

Mostly just my eyes. I actually feel like I got worse after hearing the test results today lol I think it’s the stress.

I hope you feel better this lockdown is communist

MakeAPlan 2 points ago +2 / -0

It was behind my eyes for a week. Now its in my head, neck, and back. Its not horrible, though, just super aggravating. I feel better after quercetin, zinc, a, c, and d. Got selenium on the way. I also lost my taste for like 2 days right on Thanksgiving lol

I just ordered quercitin! Should be here by Sunday. I can say my concentration is worse. Taking a little longer to find the right words

You are improving though right?

2
MakeAPlan 2 points ago +2 / -0

Headaches are much less. I only got headaches at first so I didn't think I was sick, I thought something was wrong with me, like blood sugar or something. Kinda scared me for a little cause i don't get sick.. Now that I know I'm sick, I'm taking the supplements and getting rest and feeling much better. I am 35

I just had a bumping headache, some congestion, and a mild fever for a day or two. Honestly thought it was a sinus infection.

Same! They said you were positive? This whole thing is a joke

Deplorable_Yankee 2 points ago +2 / -0

Feel better pede. I know a bunch of people who tested positive in the last few weeks and most were just experience minor to midrange flu symptoms. Some had none at all.

I was thinking the same thing! And this is the first year I got the flu shot. I’ve heard that it helps for the flu, but actually hurts our immune system for susceptibility to other viruses. It was mandatory where I work and I hated it.

2
DeadLivesMatter 2 points ago +2 / -0

I got the flu twice in my entire life. Funny enough it was the year I got the flu shot. Never again for me.

But yea vitamin C and D and zinc. And get out and go for a jog. Mentally don’t be weak and feel doom and gloom. They make this out to be the mother of all diseases while it’s contagious and is a bitch it’s definitely manageable. Hold the line.

Doomed, DOOOOOOMED! No way you'll survive with that under 1% death rate for healthy people.

Can I have your stuff?

Posttoastee 2 points ago +2 / -0

Get sun, take zinc, vitamin c suppliments, relax and be positive. Youll be alright.

I did hear the the wv will shrink meatus, but youll be a better violinist and do better on math section of sat.

Your the first person Ive communicated with that had the v,i,d,

You be fine.

EnemiesDestroyed [S] 1 point ago +1 / -0

That’s so odd you mention violin, because I play. What’s wv and my meatus and how will it make me better? Blessing in disguise?

1
Posttoastee 1 point ago +1 / -0

fiddle or violin? just curious different. Wuhan virus. a meatus is an opening in an appendage. (gotta watch Delocated from adult swim).

i wouldn't be surprised if at some point in the near future, contagious are just gonna go about their day and live it, just say fuck it. unless someone starts showing us real evidence that it's just insane to think about eventual herd immunity, it's beginniing to look like that's what's happening whether we like it or not. we may be slowing it down, but it's still making it's way around regardless of all the efforts to curb it. just get it over with. just a thought.

I was feeling run down Saturday and Sunday. Worked both days then decided to get tested Monday, came back positive I slept most of the day Monday and now I’m fine. I had body aches Sunday and now I’ve lost my sense of smell and my taste is messed up, I can taste salt in salty food and sugar in sweets that’s about as far as it goes. Other than that I’m good. My work is paying me 10 days while quarantined.

1
EnemiesDestroyed [S] 1 point ago +1 / -0

Keep me updated too! I don’t have body aches and that other stuff yet. My mom has a cold too with body aches though so I’m wondering if she’d test positive. Both of us are trending upwards though

Feel better! It’s our duty now to fight through the internet

My neighbor gave me COVID at a Halloween party and it was one of the worst flus of my life, but I haven't really ever gotten super sick before.

I was in bed for 2 days and watched The Expanse and drank a bottle of Oma's special elixir (Jaegermeister) and slept it off.

Lost my sense of taste for a week, but shits all better now and I feel fine. I'm a 45 y/o fit guy, and I'm fairly certain I'm immune as another friend hung out with me a few days ago who now has the coof
