anywho, is there anything I can use to feel better about this whole "pre-pandemic school posture" thing? I've been pretty loving keyed up since like Friday if it wasn't obvious.

Just keep thinking how we got sick constantly back then, but the spouse wasn't on the suppressants in those days - so it's like how did people navigate this?

our kids are in kf94s and they haven't caught it from school yet

(index case was grandparents who were swimming indoors apparently)

I know that doesn't really help. lovely situation all around

i want to make sure mags sees this, so i'm posting it here in the new covid thread. i don't know if she has me on ignore or super ignore or whatever, but let's put this :sam: poo poo to rest.


it absolutely was not my intent to misgender forums user mags; if someone corrected me and had provided the specific context of how I was misgendering her and I missed it, that's on me. I owned myself through rapid-fire, low-quality posting and not caring to read much of anything said in response, and I am deeply sorry for that, mags. everyone deserves to be addressed in the manner that suits their gender identity, even people cheering on the weird dollar store darth vader helmet-wearing, spirit halloween katana wielding costco prowling posters of the covid thread.

Guys, you want to be testing yourself whenever you feel off and immediately get paxlovid. It's all anecdotal I know, I've been reading on social media and one trend that popped out at me is that EG.5 (or whatever variant this is) has a nasty onset timing. Most people get a slight sore throat or tiny cough and test positive, but the symptoms are very mild so they thought it was nbd. Until around 5~ or 6~ days later, that's when the illness immediately hits you like a tsunami wave with severe symptoms. One described his throat being so sore and painful they can't even swallow water without being in pain

guess i need to test :rip: as soon as I get home from errands

She was masking religiously but I don't think it's realistic on our part to think she's going to keep it up. She was the only kid in her middle school doing it so far this week and she's social butterflying hard atm - it was really alienating to her to do it in a way it wasn't last year.

I mean you can see the messaging from LA county now.

People casually looking over the news before gong to work are going to see 104 F, they're going to tell everyone around them that kids aren't sick unless they're 104+, and in ten years it'll just be accepted wisdom and no one will remember where it came from.

when I hit 104 even as a kid that was fever dream territory

the school nurse will still be sending kids home as soon as that poo poo hits 100.5

of course, in our last district they were down to 1 nurse for every 3 schools, soooooo

dragged from the previous thread, they're suggesting a fever be the deciding factor for whether kids go to school or stay home, when Eris isn't giving people fevers.

quote:

"[The main symptoms of the new Omicron strain EG.5.1] are a sore throat, a runny nose, a blocked nose, sneezing, a cough without phlegm, a headache, a cough with phlegm, a hoarse voice, muscle aches and pains and an altered sense of smell.. However, shortness of breath, a loss of smell and a fever are no longer the main symptoms."

Fever is no longer the main symptom..

Sore throat
Runny nose
Blocked nose
Sneezing
Dry cough
Headache
Wet cough
Hoarse voice
Muscle aches

"Only return to exercise after at least seven days free of symptoms, and begin with at least two weeks of minimal exertion"

This flowchart is... a lot, but good



Minimum 7 days at each phase, so 5 weeks after before going back to normal. It's a bit more than what folks are saying for 'take a whole month off' but I started wearing a heart rate monitor very regularly after COVID and logging all my exercise, tried to stay in the low zones for like 4 weeks before starting to ease back into it.

Still... not feeling great about heart health 9 months later.
