So serious question: If you get notified that you were exposed to someone with the virus, do you quarantine for two weeks from the notification or start that timer from the last time you had the interaction? I ask because the guidelines from the gov't seem to be assuming that everyone was collectively exposed, lock down for two weeks and see who ends up sick. Also, how early can we detect the infection? Are we counting "infected" as a specific viral load or any detection of the virus?

Typically corona viruses are not permanent immunity. That being said we don't know if people getting hit again actually are double dipping or had a false negative test before it cleared the system. The virus is barely three months old and we just don't know a lot of details yet.

First off having an illness is debilitating. Secondly, being around any equipment with a 104 fever is a straight up safety hazard. If flying 8 hours later on two beers is too much a risk, try that poo poo on a fever.

My mom just let me know she had to go and get tested because she has flu-like symptoms as a risk-group that just returned from a risk-region. I'm legit stabilizing my fingers as I'm typing this because this is unfortunately not the full extent of the story. Three and a half weeks ago, my old folks visited me in Munich on the weekend before planning to embark on a trip the following Thursday. My mom shows up in the strairwell and tells me she'D rather not hug because she's sick. Sure enough, she has a pretty bad cold. I immediately joke around how she should please keep her distance because "I couldn't afford to get ill due to my current workload". At this point, it did not quite dawn on me that this would pose a problem for their trip, because I was honestly still not quite sensitized regarding Corona, and - and even more honestly - still worried more about myself catching the cold. So we tour around Munich because she wanted to see her old "somtping grounds", all while caughing and sneezing, and at this point, I've essentially made my peace with catching the cold and being out for a week, but I chill out, because hey, it's my loving parents and I love them. Once we start touring the Viktualienmarkt, it starts to hit home that she wants to go flying intercontinentally not even five days in the future, and I start getting pissed. I slowly start raising the issue of her fitness to travel and experience ye olde wave-offe on account of being the "over-concerned son" that no one takes seriously. At this point, they let me know they want to attend an 80th birthday of a friend on the following day. My concern increases. As we hit the penultimate location of our trip around Munich, I'm now in full-on gloves-off mode and tell my parents in no uncertainty, that they'd be loving stupid to a) go to the cabaret event planned for the evening and b) attending the 80th birthday the next day in the state my mother is in. All with their trip on the following Thursday in mind. I still receive the same hand-waving response I did before, but after turning up the volume, I manage to convince them to shitcan the cabaret, as well as the 80th birthday, and drive home so my mom can chill and recover at least before flying. My reservations of them flying at all in the state that my mom's in are dismissed because "it's just a cold and she'll be fine by Thursday". I make my peace at this point, having at least negotiated some responsible behavior and call it a day. Sure enough, three days after they peace out, I come down with a cold, work through Thursday and Friday, and take Monday and Tuesday the following week off while recovering from being a contagious rear end in a top hat. As a brief, mid-post-disclaimer: This isn't about me claiming to be in any form of COVID-danger, because my mom is 75, her health is borderline-not-bad, she recovered after a total of 11 days of symtpoms and i was fine after 5 days. This wasn't Covid, this was a stupid-rear end-cold. So my parents fly on that Thursday with my mom still sniffling, and three days later, they post pictures from a cruise ship. At this point, I start to get worried, because reporting about Covid was increasing, and I had no idea their trip included a loving cruise. So I tell them to stay safe and be reasonable and up-front about my mom possibly still showing symptoms of what is starting to get considered the loving plague. A week goes by, they're enjoying their vacation, poo poo starts going south in Europe, I calmly ask them when their cruise is over and whether they would please consider to cut their vacation short after disembarking (because they had another 8 days of vacation in Chile post-cruise). I, once again, am placated as irrational and the vacation goes on. It's now the 14th of March, shti starts "low-key" hitting the fan, talks of travel restrictions are afoot. Cases are spiking in Germany, and Bavaria in particular, I strenuously ask them to consider grabbing the next flight and coming home. Same response as before. Now it's the 16th of March, talks of curfews in Bavaria, sharp spikes of cases all over the planet, travel restrictions in place everywhere in Europe, I legti loving beg them to take the next loving flight. Their response is "there's only three reported cases in Chile" and that I should calm down, they're flying on the 20th and "everything will be fine". 18th of March, they're chilling in the Atacama desert, and not too worried by a cautiously-worded notice by Air France that - at this point - only EU citizens would be allowed to fly home via connection flights through Paris CDG. My responses at this point are dripping with frustrated sarcasm/apathetic resignation. 19th of March, their travel agent notifies them that - while Air France vows to ship all EU citizens home - the airport at Santiago de Chile may not allow them to board on account of local restrictions barring non-French citizens of boarding flights into France. I startr drinking. 20th of March, they are sequestered from regular boarding passengers from the flight they were originally scheduled to catch, and promised "there will be other flights with connections through CDG". I'm screaming into empty beer bottles like they're a loving pan-flute at this point. On the eve of the 20th, they actually catch a flight, are ushered through their connection in Paris under containment measures and touch down in Nürnberg on the 21st. I am the loving face of relief. The following events were kept from me, because my family apparently decided to keep me in the dark because you definitely can't have the "constantly finger-wagging negative son aware of what may be a gently caress-up caused by gross-negligence". Two days ago, my mother starts developing a cough and joint-pain, quickly followed by your average flu-like symptoms yesterday. Today, she wakes up with an elevated temperature and needs to be told by my dad and my sister, that this "might actually be noteworthy to the authorities" (without, of course, mentioning a word to their totally-pessimist son). She calls the hotline of her healthcare provide and the department of health, decides to hang up after "being kept too long on hold", calls again later, is assigned a test at a designated facility, and got tested around 5pm today. What eventually sent me over the edge this evening isn'T the stupidity of my parents' travel plans, their ignorance in the face of clear loving risk, or their compounded ignorance in the face of clear loving indicators of risk spiking everywhere across the planet, because I loving love my parents, and I want nothign else but for them to get through this. What sent me over the edge is my sister's comment after I was casually advised of the mandatory testing a couple of hours ago, and I quote: "The question is probably overdue, but I hope the containment measures taken at the testing site were sufficient? I'm worried about you having contracted this while standing in line due to poor organization?" If my mom ends up testing positive, which probably means that so will my old man, and they both end up pulling through, I'm strongly considering breaking off casual social contact with my sister outside of family meetings. If the scenario tha t I cannot even put into words at the moment comes about, I'm hard-cutting any form of contact with my sister and anyone that associates with my sister until hell loving freezes over. /edit: If that last line seems harsh, I apologize. It stems from 37 years of my sister being completely immune to any form of self-reflection that may point to her being wrong, and her tendency to not just deflect blame, but attacking everyone who dares to imply that an error of hers may actually be her own fault. Sorry for getting emotional. I'm drinking a beer and going to bed /edit: I cannot loving express how goddamn concerned I am for my old folks' health at the moment /edit: cut that last bit, because - for some loving reason - I still seem to have a guilty conscience that my sister lacks. I'd be grateful if you didn't quote it, or could edit your quotes Duzzy Funlop fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Mar 25, 2020 |
