If you're not masking the LEAST you can do is test/get tested for COVID-19 if you are having cold or flu symptoms.

The ABSOLUTE LEAST.

There are a lot of "it's just a cold/allergies" people giving COVID to people like me. 😷

Don't be a selfish prick.
AND...
STAY THE FUCK HOME IF YOU ARE SICK!

Check with your insurance company, many pay for testing.

Some offer reimbursement for home tests.

No insurance: check with your local public health department.

ps: home kits are FSA eligible

FYI: when a new COVID-19 variant appears, test makers run their test against it.

Beware of misleading headlines saying current variants give a false neg.

MOST false negatives are human error.

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FULLY.

Swabbing throat before nares increases likelihood of catching a +.

I have ZERO tolerance for mis/disinformation replies.

You do NOT come on to my spout regurgitating headlines.

I'm sick with COVID and have ZERO FUCKS to give.

After taking a screen shot, I am deleting your bullshit take.

And do NOT tell ME about who can't afford to stay home when sick!

No paycheck come Friday.

I'm still pissed off about the "but some people can't afford to stay home when they're sick" nonsense.

Hello! Hi! *points at self*

I did everything right. I blamed myself for a while. Where did I fuck up?

I didn't fuck up. The contagious person at work did.

It's hard to tell with the weather. 😂 Caffeine loading at the moment. Still looking like a solid couch day.

Thanks for asking! ❤️

My wife brought it home from work. I had a mild case, stuffy nose, fatigue, not so debilitating… But took about two weeks to really test negative two days in a row.

NB: Our Queens, NY library system gives out free tests.

We lose up to a pound of hydration in the night. Replenishing that water is crucial to feeling well. First thing, if you can, drink a full 8oz water with a splash of lemon and salt. Rinse your mouth well afterwards to get the acid off your teeth.

This really wakes me up. Then coffee.
