First, glad you are back and that C19 did not affect you badly. Keep us posted on how you feel and possible effects later (I hope there are none) as we can learn from your experience. I believe we all will have a date with Omicron eventually, so any advice from you would be priceless.Jeff from TX wrote: ↑Wed Dec 22, 2021 5:01 pm Sorry to have been absent for awhile, but at the beginning of December I go COVID (I assume Delta) - the week I was supposed to get my booster shot. I assumed it was the flu since my rapid test came back negative but a later test confirmed COVID. Fever for almost 10 days, lots of fatigue, slight cough but no real respiratory issues fortunately. Thankfully, I had finished my preceptorship hours so my graduation was affected. Graduated Dec. 15th with my nursing degree.
I'm so sorry to hear you were so ill!Jeff from TX wrote: ↑Wed Dec 22, 2021 5:01 pm Sorry to have been absent for awhile, but at the beginning of December I go COVID (I assume Delta) - the week I was supposed to get my booster shot.

So happy to hear you had more minor symptoms and are doing better.Jeff from TX wrote: ↑Wed Dec 22, 2021 5:01 pm Sorry to have been absent for awhile, but at the beginning of December I got COVID (I assume Delta) - the week I was supposed to get my booster shot.

For months now, since Delta has been a larger concern in the US, it has seemed as if white people were told a secret that the rest of us weren't let in on because the less diverse the area, the less masks being worn around this region as if they had nothing at all to worry about. I can't count the number of stores I've been in the last 4 months where almost every minority has been wearing a mask and almost every white adult is not, with the exception of employees. Mild uptick of masks in November, and a greater one in the last 2 weeks.ti-amie wrote: ↑Thu Dec 23, 2021 1:49 am I was thinking today about how much damage Tiny and his people did early on. They made it seem that if you were young, in good shape, and not brown, black or yellow you wouldn't be in too much danger. That message took hold and that is why so many have been ignoring sound medical advice.
