Quoted: No it didn't. If some jackass with a stomach virus knowingly comes to a gathering, most people who catch it as result are going to be cursing that SOB while they're shitting their guts out. That's the way it's always been. View Quote How many times have you sent your kids to school with the sniffles? |

Quoted: Why take a covid test? What did you do different knowing it's covid? View Quote We've all been sick for the last week or so. I think I had it worse. Had to sleep in my office chair a couple nights. I couldn't lie down or even sleep in a recliner without hacking up a lung. Didn't bother testing, since I'm not taking pfizer's paxlovid. I have some in the pantry from last year. All of us are pretty much back to normal now. I'll give props to Mucinex. Allowed me to get some sleep. NyQuil/DayQuil sucked. |

Quoted: Gather a large enough collection of humans and someone is going to be sick. Its the human condition. I'd rather get sick spending time with family than from a trip to the grocery store. Stop putting stuff up your nose, it doesn't help anything to put stuff up your nose. Everyday, I pick every single one of these fucking boogers out of my nose, then I wake up the next day...there they are again. You all probably have the flu. The tests can't tell the difference, our family found this out. View Quote Hell, tap water will cause some of the home covid tests to pop positive. |

Quoted: yeah it's kinda crazy instead of lockdowns, vaccines, boosters, masks, etc how about -- if you feel sick -- stay home ? View Quote Or, if you're scared of getting sick, YOU stay home? We're exposed to diseases every day that are more dangerous than covid. Hell, are those of you who are married absolutely 100 percent sure your better half didn't get drunk and fuck someone HIV positive at the bar recently? |

Quoted: It truly is bizarre. No one freaks out when someone has the cold, or the flu. People don't rush out to get tested, get pissed off when they get the flu or cold. But someone has the rabies and holy shit, "ZOMGWTFBBQ!! I HAVE TO QUARANTINE! I HAVE TO GET TESTED! I HAVE TO TELL ERRYBODY!" View Quote I don't want some inconsiderate asshole giving me the cold, or flu, China flu. Fuck you and stay home if you're sick and be considerate of others. |

All you that like to share your Covid illnesses, please also give us data about your type of vaccine and how many boosters. This would help and we could have more fun.

That sucks getting sick when it's avoidable, happened to us as well and dealing with it.
But the vidz generally ain't shit since delta really. No reason to get tested. |

I have the initial J&J vaccine because I work for the state and would have been fired if I didn't get a vaccine in July 2021 (although that requirement has been overturned after all of us got the vaccine). No boosters for me though. |

Why do you even test for this bullshit?
Why do you play their game? Fuck all that. You’re sick. Pop vitamins and Dr. Zelenko’s stack, defeat the virus, and move on wit even stronger antibodies and resistance. |

Three years ago in the middle of the California COVID shutdowns our group got together for Thanksgiving at a friend's house.
We're hanging around drinking beers and wine in the open kitchen area when I see the host sample the dressing with the serving spoon to her lips, lick, and then she shoved it back into the warm stuffing. Nobody knew anything about COVID but I figured it was at least transmittable by licking. I told my wife and we were very careful on what we ate and got out of there. It was very uncomfortable at dinner parties because normally the ladies bring a dish or two and even short of getting sick ... uggh. |

My whole family has the rona now. My mothers funeral was a super spreader event which is ironic since she was so paranoid about getting it. A couple of other friends and family have it too. One had recently got the new booster, which apparently didn't help. More horse paste for me.

Well I got Christmas COVID from my wife so I guess I won't stay home for Christmas next year.
|
|
OP, I feel you.
If you are sick, don't have people over and stay home. I don't care what you have. I don't care if it's COVID, flu, cold, viral herpes, bacterial goo, whatever. While you're at it, if you have an STD, don't fuck other people... I posted a thread like this a year ago about a COVID carrying sick coworker who spread it all over a conference room. I didn't get any sympathy either, but it didn't change my opinion. |

I hate it when people don't stay away from others when they are sick. If you're sick, stay home. How hard is that to understand?

Quoted: Had it again earlier this week. I was down bad for a couple days, my fever was up to 104 at one point. Still tired, but feeling better. My wife is a few days behind me and she’s sick as hell.

OP you aren't wrong.
I can't stand people that are sick and feel so self important they just have to go around exposing other people (especially family and friends) to whatever virus they're spreading. There is not a person on this planet worth dealing with 1-2 weeks of being sick just to spend a few hours with them. 'Merry Christmas here's some COVID or flu to welcome in the new year' My BIL got sick and stayed home for Christmas Eve dinner. Sucks he couldn't make it but I'd he stay home than give us his fever and diarrhea he was dealing with. We can always reschedule or host them for something soon when everyone is feeling better. |

Your whole family has Covid because of Fauci and the deep state that put him in a position to poison the world.

Quoted: I agree with you. We have been down with a house of covid since before Christmas (on week 2 now...), and we cancelled all company. A: we feel like shit. B: Not spreading this around. Luckily our family is all in agreement that there is no reason to spread shit around, just wait until people are well and then go. It is still a holiday even if the date on the calendar is different, plus everybody gets to enjoy it. View Quote Good! Take personal satisfaction that you have cause an evolutionary dead end in this thing's family. No more off spring, no more getting to grow, no more in new places/people. No chance to mutant and/or evolve due to more different DNA. This is this crud's It will die with you, it remains shitted out in an unmarked septic tank. To rot beside that atrocity of chili with beans . Be petty, be vindictive, and selfishly don't share. Keep your kids home from school.... The rest of us appreciate that. We try to do the same. |

Quoted: My 6 year old has the flu after a Christmas dinner at my brother in laws. Their middle kid was running fever all day but brought her anyways because they didn't want her to miss out on anything. They left in the middle of the GTG to take her to the doc and tested positive for the flu. They then brought her back to the house and sat her in the corner and told everyone to stay away from her.

When my inlaws were driving down before Christmas I started feeling sick. My kids just got over strep so I figured that's what it was. My wife called them in case they wanted to stay home, and they said they didn't care. The next day I went to the doctor to get some antibiotics and I tested negative for strep and positive for covid. They (both vaxxed) freaked out and went home. Neither ended up getting it. I just thought it was funny that they weren't worried about strep but freaked out about covid. Also, first time, to my knowledge, I had COVID. It was like a mild cold. I was better in a day or two.

COVID is awesome!
It’s like a bad cold, but I get crazy fever-dreams and hallucinations! |
