I’m in Covid hell.
Upthread I mentioned dad got it we think at a convention in Austin. Came to visit down here in Port A and got sick and I kept him here for 2 weeks. A week after he left I got it I’m guessing from someone in a bar. At the same time my mom who I haven’t seen in 2 months got it, pretty sure that was a 2 hour car ride she had with a lady that tested positive the next day. She lives in San Antonio.
So a week after I’m over it my girlfriend’s kids come down from Dallas. 2nd day they are here her son isn’t feeling good. Next day he has a sore throat and chills get him a Covid test and of course it’s positive. 10 hours later his girlfriend and her mom also pop positive. They were all in a car together on the drive down from Dallas for 8 hours. If you haven’t gotten this recent variant don’t get in a car with anyone.
on the plus side, everyone has been very mild. 24-48 of a sore throat and chills and then nothing but tired. My mom was the only one worse than that but she has other health issues. 76 years old and way underweight in fact her doctor told her before Covid was a thing she needed to eat more because she would struggle to fight off a virus. She’s 20 days in now, got the monoclonal antibody and 3 other IV infusions and is much better now. Never had to go to the hospital.
This shit is running through pretty much everyone I know. All over the state. All are vaxxed and only 1 of the above I mentioned have had it before, but most of us are newbies to Covid.
