Steve, oh no!! Here's hoping it stays mild and resolves quickly. As for you, can you sleep in the guest room and make sure you and she don't use the same bathroom? Both of you could mask up. Maybe you could avoid it? It might be worth a try. Either, best wishes to you all for quick recovery and health!!

We're all going to get it at some point, and you guys have done everything humanly possible to prepare. I'm confident that you'll be fine!

Yup, I have it, and like when I used to get the flu (before flu shots) it makes me very tired with a side of fever. I took a four hour nap today and plan to go to bed early. With any luck this is as bad as it gets.

Sharon feels worse than I do. She has a cough and chest congestion. Not bad yet but worth watching Thanks for asking.

Here's a novel approach: Quebec’s cannabis, liquor stores to require coronavirus vaccination proof

Steve, I'm sorry to hear this. The more I research this the more I think all of us might get it, sadly. | |||

But maybe by the time we do (if this is accurate) it will have gotten effectively diluted. That is, however contagious, it will have become far less dangerous. Just look, the Omicrom variant though still lethal for some (predictors not yet understood), it appears not even to affect the lungs - the "ground glass" pneumonia having been pathognomic. OR clotting in all the organs, including even the tiniest clots in capillaries. Don't even know if it's still damaging taste and smell which used to be a key diagnostic symptom. As long it stops triggering cardiomyopathy, particularly in the young (another mystery). (Do I remember this right?)

Steve, very sorry you've been struck down. That said, have you (pl) been tested for variant (especially in view of my immediately previous pronouncements)?
| |||

No we haven't. It doesn't seem important to me as the treatment is the same for all of the different variants and about all you can do is ride it out.

That certainly does sound like a "game-changer" in that it would (almost, hopefully) nullify the long-standing cost-benefit question of whether it would be more useful for rich countries to pay towards vaccinating significant numbers of the poor ones or spend the $ on vaccinating their own citizens - over and over again. The thought being that as long as the multitudes remain unvaccinated, we're leaving a cauldron to incubate (do cauldrons incubate?) potential variants to continue circling the globe with incessant surges. Crossing fingers. (Wonder how the big Pharma cos will react. Can't help suspecting they'll be underwriting their scientists to find reasons to diss the new, economy vaccine.)
