Happy New Year to me. I have Covid.

I am amazed that unvaccinated people caused your Covid infection. Do you think the vaccine is ineffective? The best treatment is Ivermectin and hydrochloriquine(??).

My last flu shot was in 1972 and no Covid jabs. I have had all the other vaccinations offered especially shingles and pneumonia. I have never had the flu and covid lasted 4 days in the hospital. It is tough being 75 and not worrying about the small stuff.

I worked with the un-vaccinated kid Tuesday afternoon. He calls in Thursday morning to say he was sick with Covid. I started feeling ill Friday and tested positive on Saturday. The kid is the only person I know that has Covid that I've been around. Everyone else I work with has been vaccinated and they're not sick.
I go to work and go back home. I don't have much of a social life. That narrows it down to where I got Covid.

Being vaccinated does not prevent one from spreading.

Being vaccinated does not prevent one from contracting.

Hopefully the symptoms are mild and pass quickly.

And your better half does not come down with it either.

They are for more likely to spread it than the unvaccinated and your age alone makes you more likly to devolop a serious case. Don't believe me? Ask your dr or just drop by the local hospital and ask them. They went to school and studied this stuff, ;-)

Wearing your seatbelt won't 100% prevent you from dying,but it certainly raises the odds that you won't lol

Our aversion to people has served us well. Had a couple folks at work get sick, and the boss 1) made them leave with a quickness, and 2) sent a couple of us more vulnerable folks to work remotely for a few days.

I was in the hospital for 9 days in December for a GI bleed that they had a hell of a time finding. I spent most of that time in an isolation room as my roomie's family was visiting while positive. My doctors have been united in advocating for the vax; like every other it is not 100% effective, but it improves my odds.

A related issue is the lack of consideration of folks. I was chatting with one of my nurses about the joy of having a room to myself, and why. He told me that in 2020, a patient's family member made cookies for the nurses while positive and infected well over a dozen. Sheesh. If you are sick with anything, don't do that. Just stay away from everyone.
