WOOOOOOOO!

My wife just tested positive for COVID the second time this year and we are sooo mad. We are so sick of other people and their total disregard for each other. Even tho we don’t know for sure where she got it, we were at a small gathering last weekend where someone showed up sick without any sort of warning. They said it’s not COVID and something about how its just their sinuses, you know, the normal brushing off of obvious symptoms.

Then on Monday I had to go to the office for a meeting and overheard 2 different people saying they weren’t feeling great… They both ended up going home and neither of them showed up the next day, but a third person did show up the next day, also complaining about being sick… I really just don’t understand why!

My wife and I do everything we cant to be safe; we wear masks in public, we make our concerns known, we have canceled and changed plan in order to keep in line with our concerns and comfort.

Why do people insist on going to work or to gatherings when they can admit they are sick?

Why does nobody give a shit about anyone around them?

I hate people, I really do, but I still don’t go into social situations while sick and if I had to I would wear a fucking mask. It’s that fucking simple, yet no one has the common courtesy to not bring their fucking communicable disease into public.

Fuck people.

FUCK

UPDATE: Just got an email from one of my colleagues who just tested positive for COVID. He was in the office Monday, complaining about feeling sick, but waited 4 days to test because “he didn’t even think about COVID until someone else mentioned it.” Mind you, this person sees me with a mask on EVERY DAY, but didn’t think about COVID…

I really really hate people and am thinking about leaning into the hermit life. Just me, my partner, and our cats; everyone else can fuck off.

    Our hh tested positive for the first time recently. We think we got it because my partner’s coworker came to work with “a kind of Covid.” His new manager also insists on weekly in-person meetings. One can attend online but it’s difficult to hear or participate, and my partner needs that information to do his job.

    The coworker in question, who has had Covid 3 or 4 times now, told my partner “you can’t avoid it” and honestly if you come to work maskless and sick, refusing to even cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough, how is that not a threat?

      YOU CAN DAMN WELL TRY TO AVOID IT!

      That’s why I wear a mask 99% of the time. I have been sick 2 times since starting to wear masks 4 years ago. Once was covid, Once was a normal cold.

      Now now wearing a mask in my own house so as to avoid my wife spreading it to me. I’ll see if I can dodge it this time and report back to all the defeatist chuds.
