Welp, it may not be my seasonal allergies 😭 multiple people at a party I attended Saturday have tested positive for covid. Going to do a test later today. If positive, it would be my first time in three years.
I did test positive eventually. Oh well.
Get plenty of rest and get well soon!
Will you have to go to work? It’s a bit death culty here, and people go to work with Covid 😒
Nope. If you’re feeling sick over here you have to get a doctor’s note (bit childish imo). But he gave me one for a week off and my place of work wouldn’t be able to do anything against it (not that they would, they are fine).
Better than nothing. Childish, I agree. Good that you have a reasonably supportive employer, too. There are too many petty tyrants who feel personally attacked when you can’t work due to illness:
“if you’re well enough to go to the doctor’s you’re well enough to go to work”
okay mate but this is contagious and fatal and have you heard of this technology called a telephone what means I didn’t have to physically visit a doctor to cough in her face about my contagious and fatal virus
There are a few managers at my place that think like that as well, but I just wave my Union card at them and that’s the end of it
Three years. Reading that gave me a heart attack. I hope you get to feeling better comrade.
I still haven’t had COVID. Luckily, my sister and I were able to convince my parents to agree to vaccinate us. It took several weeks of arguing.
I’m glad. I’m lucky to have been living alone when covid struck, so I got to make that choice instead of my batshit father. Still wound up getting it some months ago, though.
