No symptoms reported yet. Doesn't matter, back in the box Biden.

While this doesn't seem likely to approach the concentrated insanity of Trump's presidential plague episode it appears there will be at least a little content.

Sorry for an E/Nish type post. I've been in a state of quiet terror about Monkeypox all morning, and my wife just hit me with that she can't take these levels of precaution much longer at all and if she has to leave and find an apartment of her own (during two pandemics, with only one job and one 17+ year old car between the two of us) she's seriously prepared to and it's no longer a thought exercise prompted by our old couples therapist. She said she loves me so much, I'm her soulmate, she'd waited her whole life to find me, but she can't live like this anymore and wants to start taking on more risk to get a semblance of her life back. I know she'd wear an N95 and maybe even the respirator and would never eat inside a restaurant, but she won't define what those risks are and says she doesn't even know. And now with Monkeypox it's feeling like a borderline suicidal act. And she has eczema.

I don't know what to do. She's severely depressed and not listening to reason. Long COVID in any form and/or 3 weeks of excruciating pain followed by possible blindness aren't going to make things any better than they are now. I've been trying to make things happier in here, and I've been going on walks with her and offered to start going for drives to new places (which is very close to what her life was before the pandemic - we lived a very simple, quiet life), but it's not enough. Her friends have basically forgotten about her / abandoned her because she chose to stay safe and is therefore a reminder that eating out is not safe, and the few that she talks to regularly have been pushing her HARD to take on more risk despite repeatedly getting COVID themselves. Over time I've become the symbol of "can't do that" because I have the time and energy to follow this stuff really closely, to the point where she's forgotten that it was her call to isolate in the first place in March 2020.

A week ago she was yelling at her friends and family that she doesn't want COVID or Monkeypox and that while they're free to do whatever they want, she's not willing to get infected.

Everything is falling apart. Sorry. Just venting to the only people who might understand and not just tell me to live my life.

From what I can tell this is exactly 10 days since they announced he was positive and had already started Paxlovid, so I'm guessing they gave him the full 10 days course and he immediately rebounded when he stopped

Guessing this means his immune system didn't do a great job clearing the virus? Would they even attempt another course/if they do I wonder how they're going to square that with CDC guidance lol

I'm sorry, WAIST. It sounds like she still doesn't want to get infected, but trying to be perfect during a forever plague is getting to her. I can relate to her - I'm very extroverted, but I've spent the whole pandemic determined to never get covid. I hope she can reach out to friends and make plans - picnics, parks, zoo trips, whatever it takes to get people to agree to meet up outside.

i could believe that biden acted like an old stubborn rear end in a top hat and refused to take the precautions his people were telling him to do. he already was refusing to mask around others as he was supposed to.

Kinda curious about if they need to return his heart meds or if his liver can deal with another pax regime.

Gonna make great content if he just fails to clear covid, deteriorating week after week, spewing virus around while his doctors play musical chairs with his medications.

Guys dont panic, this never happens, listen to Fauci!

quote:

“When you look at the studies, it generally does not occur very often,” Fauci, who directs the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and is President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” But he noted that there have been “anecdotal cases” that suggest rebounds are more common now than they were in clinical trials.

Biden is obviously an anecdotal case.
