Tested positive on one of those lateral flow tests. Somehow got the test line DARKER than the control line. How the hell does that even happen? Does that mean I have super covid or something?
No one else cares, not the government or my university. See comments: https://teddit.net/r/UBC/comments/xfewx3/is_ubc_doing_any_covid_monitoring_or_support/
Got three Pfizers as soon as i was eligible, for all the good that did. I’m now a data point on that ongoing scandal that Pfizer boosters don’t do shit.
This is day two of symptoms (started yesterday night) and HOLY SHIT! I am literally disoriented and dizzy and my head hurts like I slammed it into a wall. Actually, the best way to describe it is I feel really, really drunk/hungover right now, like it’s actually affecting my ability to think and type this post. I’m honestly shocked by how fast it escalated, it started with a sore throat last night, and last afternoon I felt completely fine. I’ve had the flu before, this is so much worse. Fuck everything about this. I live with my somewhat elderly parents and very elderly grandparents and I’m genuinely worried for their safety. Not to mention the slew of people I infected before symptoms got bad enough that I decided to test. I thought I just had a cold/flu at first because I wasn’t coughing, but yeah, no.
I started getting the sore throat while i was out doing stuff last night. I took transit also doing stuff today because I didn’t think I had covid since I wasn’t coughing and didn’t have trouble breathing, still not really coughing or trouble breathing actually. Fuck. FuckFuckFuckFuck. I hope I don’t end up killing someone.
I had it, too, recently. It fucking sucks, I felt like I was dying. I’m sorry comrade.
Not saying in any way that I’m a “vaccine skeptic” or whatever but I get why non-Qanoners can adopt that idea. The line from the state and the CDC changed so much in such a short time that it seemed outrageous. Vaccines would prevent transmission to only protecting others to only lessening the symptoms to needing to be boosted every 3 months, on and on. Everyone I’m around is vaccinated and we’re super anal about wearing masks. I was around it for literally years in the healthcare field, when it first sprang up and later, and never got it. Getting it (as well as all my vaccinated roommates) after, according to the U.S. state, the pandemic is officially dying down, they’ve stopped recording new cases and we “don’t have to worry that much anymore” feels like a cruel cosmic joke. It is a joke. Just a damn farce. Trying so hard for so long, isolating oneself from one’s loved ones, losing our youth – it’s just cosmically fucking hilarious isn’t it? I’m not sure if it’s similar in Canada.
Take painkillers if you need. Rest and relax as much as possible. Fluids, fluids, fluids. Sending you well wishes, comrade. You’ll make it through this. We’re all survivors.
