robe Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 https://apple.news/Adth6Xb8SQ7GFAp-MfnEKVw this is over for most working Americans now. They aren’t getting tested and are just working thru it like it was 2019. See above. Blue collar workers abandoned by the Democrats years ago say the show must go on. The Democrats are so out of touch of the needs of the working man marking 15 to 45 an hour in this country. I think they have given up even trying to get those votes. Instead they go for women and Whimps votes. They own the highly educated and high earning snob vote as well. Quote The Masters 5k road race All American.

smltwnrckr Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 It's the party of local control and federalism, amirite? Salt Lake Tribune: House leaders bullied two Salt Lake County Council Republicans to change their votes on the COVID mask mandate.

I mean if he wants to make an argument for covid restrictions hurting working class people, there's and endless sea of articles that do that. He happened to find one of the ones that does the opposite and argues for more covid government intervention. Maybe the wifi isnt very good under that bridge?

smltwnrckr Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Weird little wrinkle that I just tested positive with a rapid test last night more than 5 days after my mild symptoms which only lasted a couple days abated (all but a stuffy head at least). Just kind of did it on a lark, since I tested multiple times (both lab test and multiple at home rapid tests) including in that short period when I had a brief fever and all came back negative while everyone else in household tested positive. I'm not changing anything, since I clearly had a mild case last weekend, and will move forward accordingly. Just weird how the testing panned out.

Stealthlobo Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 First day back to work today after my trip, and apparently like half the staff got covid. Dodged a bullet there. They even shortened our hours due to lack of staffing available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weird thing tho is that I tested negative multiple times - the morning of the day I got symptoms hut was still asymptomatic at that time, and also the next evening when I did have the mild symptoms and then once more. One was a spit test at a lab, two were at home rapid tests. My wife took thebsame tests and was positive. So me Being positive a week after symptoms is weird.

I test negative but still have some minor symptoms. Apparently, the home tests are good indicators of whether you are contagious or not, so I guess that's the best/most reasonable thing we can do to navigate this.

My kid tested negative three times last week, once a PCR and twice an at-home test. I tested, too. Negative as well. No reason to believe those tests were wrong, but I would’ve bet anything she had it considering her symptoms. Your experience makes me wonder.

The last coiple.colds I've had have knocked me down worse than this covid case, as a vaxxed and boosted 30-something. We'd have all been back doing stuff like normal about a week ago had this not come with a positive covid test.

I get that, but they are stating it will be years before we get to the endemic stage. Fauci is telling everyone we are in stage 1 still and endemic infection is stage 5. It's like they don't want any of this to go away... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
