Yeah, a few of his mates have had the sniffles but of course he’s the only one with a cough.

Didn’t your household have it earlier in the year? Surely he would have had a dose then.

I think nearly all the families I know with kids who've gone back to school have at least one person with bog standard cold symptoms (me included as of tonight - yay) so I'm not too worried.It happened when they went back during lockdown too. I seem to catch every cold going and then some whereas the rest of my household is pretty immune.Obv if there's high temps as well you'd better get tested.

Didn’t your household have it earlier in the year? Surely he would have had a dose then.We’re pretty sure we did, though tests weren’t available at the time unless you were admitted to hospital. And while Stet had it badly and I had it mildly, F had chickenpox! Maybe he had Covid at the same time, I dunno. Whatever, it’s kind of irrelevant because if he went to school with a cough he’d be sent home for a test anyway. So the only routes for us now are (a) no school for 10 days or (b) get a negative result and straight back in. I guess I could have told the school he was home with a cold and not mentioned the cough, but I’m well honest innit.

No rona. But i now have a bacterial infection quite deep that may require surgery.

xp thanks, table. I had a small surgery yesterday. Now i have a tube running into my buttcheek connected to a wound vac. I have to take one home and carry around like Radio Raheem for a week. But it wasn't rona or even fishjackfruit.
― bogo jumbo boba (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 18 September 2020 16:06 (three years ago) link
Oof! As someone with much experience in the 'tubes going into very uncomfortable parts of my body' department, I hope it isn't too awful and that everything is okay!

thanks again, and it's not so bad. if it becomes uncomfortable, i can indeed remember the experiences of others on this board. this is nothing compared to what you went through.

My son is off school today looking quite listless, in bed all day + with standard cold symptoms and some coughing, but thank fuck a normal temperature of thereabouts 98f. If he develops a fever then that's when I'll be in a state of PANIC!

Sounds worse than my 9 days of feeling extremely rundown, but ymmv. Glad you're on the mend. xp

my niece has the rona, there was an outbreak in her school :(
but it seems to be a mild dose (she's 13): thankfully her mum and dad seem to have dodged it so far (they live in a roomy house and can keep their distance if need be)
how is everyone from the thread doing all these months later?
― mark s, Thursday, 10 December 2020 11:09 (three years ago) link
(eight whole months ffs)
three teachers at my son's school have got the rona in the last month - it always was one of the most dangerous of professions but it's got even worse now.
― calzino, Thursday, 10 December 2020 11:18 (three years ago) link
I forgot this was the thread for this, sorry. So today is day five. Feel pretty good if I don't try to do too much, but on the other hand, just washed my hair and then my arms felt tired and I was slightly dizzy from this great exertion.

Thanks.Somebody else called back from NYC H&H to talk me about my daughter as having come in contact with someone with COVID and that call took twice as long as the one concerning me.

So exactly a month since I got this. On day 10 when I got out of quarantine one of my daughters tested positive. That week my energy came and went. I would take naps and not wake up too easily. A few days after my daughter finished her isolation, my wife got her second vaccination shot, to which she had a strong reaction which went on for a few days. I am mostly back to normal, apart from my attenuated sense of smell and the fact that many days my energy just doesn’t feel 100%. So ultimately a mild case, as my doctor told me, just reporting back for full disclosure.

Me? Pretty good, thanks. Still can barely smell anything unless it is a strong smell and right in front of my nose. Physical pretty much have my energy back, mentally clear, although still sometimes feel I lost a little bit of my edge, although not so much this week.
