My boss gave the entire office covid this week. I've never had it. I haven't even told my wife yet. Everyone took tests today. I'm so angry. We are so infuriated here.

My wife and I have successfully flown international and domestic several times over the last two years, always careful, and this is how I get it. My boss goes away to Vegas, comes back sick, and brings it to the office (thinking it's just a regular cold, like that makes a difference). :argh:

Sorry man, poo poo sucks

Be advised that it might still be possible for your wife to avoid getting infected. I hope some of the posters in the thread whom have successfully managed to curb household spread will chime in, but basically it comes down to quarantine, masking and corsi cubes.

Also get Paxlovid ASAP. "Test to treat" is the free (public) option or alternatively Sesamecare (which costs a limited amount of money).

Used a couple more Metrix tests for screening for Thanksgiving, seems to be working OK?

Costs are down to $25/test, $35 for the reader. Which isn't bad at all compared to rapids. Assuming these are actually as accurate as they claim. https://www.aptitudemedical.com/product-for-home-use-presale

Amazon is now listing the new Pfizer Lucira combo COVID/Flu test at $50: https://www.amazon.com/LUCIRA%AE-COVID-19-Results-Emergency-Authorized/dp/B0CL7S9F4P So I guess if you would like to know if it might be Flu? Does anybody still do Tamiflu these days?

Yeah, that all worked for my wife. In retrospect it probably helped that I had a very faint positive test shortly after I first got symptoms, and I noticed rebound symptoms right away. Odds must be worse for anyone who's asymptomatic and infectious for days, though all of the same precautions are still worth taking once you know someone's positive.

e: vv open windows too. Luckily it was September and didn't get too hot or cold.

Yeah nominally and might cause some issues, though I suspect the larger one is that the unwinding of free Pax will be in the meaty part of a wave, combined with no option for restocking.

Anyways, I am sure the very smart people in charge have thought it through and we are just being doomers. Trust the individual public health economics!

"Prevalence and Risk Factors of Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 Among United States Veterans"

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1047279723002132 posted:

Abstract
Purpose
To better understand Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) in the Veteran population, this study aims to determine the prevalence of PASC and identify risk factors associated with its development.

Methods
This retrospective cohort study included 363,825 Veterans that tested positive for COVID-19 between February 1, 2020, and September 30, 2022. The primary outcome was the development of PASC 30 to 180 days following an acute infection with SARS-CoV-2. Multivariate logistic regression was utilized to examine factors associated with PASC.

Results
Of the 363,825 Veterans included in the analysis, 164,315 (45%) displayed symptoms of PASC. The Veterans in this analysis were predominantly male, non-Hispanic White, under the age of 65 years old, and lived in an urban residence. The strongest predictors for PASC included Non-Hispanic Black or African American race compared to Non-Hispanic White race (aOR=1.14), being between the ages of 50 and 64 compared to ages 50 and below (aOR=1.80), diabetes (aOR=8.46), and severe acute infection (aOR=1.42).

Conclusion
Results demonstrate potential health inequities for vulnerable individuals, as well as increased risk for individuals with pre-existing comorbidities. The prevalence of PASC provides estimates for future health care utilization. The risk factors identified can aid public health interventions to reduce the burden of PASC.

https://nitter.net/dbRaevn/status/1725397307934577052#m

However, when you drill down a little deeper it turns out that dip was mostly driven by data from NSW and here in Vic it's still full steam ahead

We put a fan pointing out the window of the kid's room(where she mostly stayed), gave her an exclusive bathroom, made her wear a mask in common areas, and ran corsis/coways everywhere.

Nobody else ever tested positive - although I swear the arm I got my shot in was lighting up like it bore the brand of sacrifice for a bit.

It sucks rear end that your two choices at this point are to either mask up everywhere or just wait for the most selfish rear end in a top hat in your orbit to infect you.

Amount of COVID in wastewater in Finland, averaged from 9 different cities' wastewater data.

They ran out of Y-axis today, and it didn't automatically scale it.. so the newest datapoint didn't fit the chart anymore.

I'm sure there's nothing to worry about.

Sure makes me feel awesome about my GP's decision to deny my request to get a Meningococcal C vaccine, on the grounds that I wasn't in a high risk group (i.e. not in school or the military). I hadn't received it since it didn't exist when I *was* in that group. How fun!
