well my wife and I had to go into a law office for like 10 minutes and were near 3 total people that we weren't super close to but none of them were wearing masks or anything and now today she has a sore throat and is dizzy but no fever or cough

I still feel like that level of exposure with nobody coughing or anything seems really unlikely to have infected her? but we haven't gone out or done anything else so I dunno where she could have gotten like a normal cold/flu either

not sure if we should bother to quarantine, we've been doing our normal routine for a week, feels like if 10 minutes around 3 strangers can give it to her then surely she would have given it on to me already

fwiw this is the first time one of these 20 degree overnight weather changes HASNT made me feel like that

It's probably not the roni but if you have any kind of telemedicine with your insurance you could call and see if they think she needs to get a test

yeah i offered to let her telehealth with our primary and she's like no i'm dizzy and have a headache I don't want to talk to anyone

I mean I kinda don't think it's super likely either? cause like you have to combine the probabilities of:

one of the 3 people in the office who we got barely within 6 feet of had it in a county where <1% of people have it (known anyway)
they passed it on to her within like 10 minutes without coughing or anything like that in a situation where everyone barely talked
she has a presentation without fever or cough

the total likelihood seems pretty low but I gotta worry anyway!

especially since like since we haven't left the house I dunno what else she would have

do you just get sick without any external inputs sometimes

yeah she does get migraines she was just worried because of the sore throat the past couple days and she was having trouble getting comfortable last night, kept feeling hot without the sheets on etc

but yea hopefully it isn't the roni it does feel super unlikely for it to be that

i ran these suggestions by her and she thinks it's something different, that she doesn't get sore throats from stress or allergies usually, but yeah idk we'll keep an eye on it

if she caught it from these hayseed lawyers who didn't wear masks I'll probably murder all of them IN MINECRAFT and then get permabanned

yeah its a really obvious strategy that we've done nothing to counter and that works super super well moving chinese economic influence into regions we've alienated and abandoned lmao

Yeah, China has been slowly winning friends by funding massive infrastructure investments across most of the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa.

And now they're shipping huge quantities of PPE and medical equipment, along with health care workers to countries around the globe. Meanwhile the USA is literally hijacking planes full of equipment purchased by other countries and giving it to multinational corporations to sell to the highest-bidding states.

Even in US-friendly countries like here in Ireland it's becoming obvious. We received massive shipments of PPE from China even though it was never in particularly short supply here. Meanwhile, Trump is shouting about forcing the 750+ US pharma companies with labs in Ireland to shut down, so that all R&D is moved back to America to be patented and sold at profit.

Man. I am supposed to be writing a dissertation that basically revolves around how identifying shared values in natural resource conflicts can be the foundation for generating tangible future goals needed for adaptive thinking, and my god is this whole situation just pressure washing away my ability to put shine on the poo poo that is my 800 page dataset of interview transcripts. I realized while doing my interviews - mostly with leaders in the water sector in a vulnerable and supposedly cutting edge state out west - that everyone has had their brain broken by neo-liberal status quo worship, but goddamn. The literal lust for destroying any hope for something, anything better than mass death and mindless consumerism fueled by atomized development schemes and social alienation on display right now is just amazing. It's like worrying that someone might be showing signs of being suicidal, and then walking in on them with a gun in their mouth.

write the truth then. everyone's gonna be FYGM about water, like everything else
