We’re still 0 for 4 in my household so far. But my band was playing at a bar last night that was pretty packed - certainly the most dense place I’ve been in in the past couple years. I was one of two people wearing a mask and, as far as I could see, the only trying to maintain any distance from anyone.
as in, somebody -trying- to catch COVID, but just can’t get it?
That actually would be interesting, unlike the sex version.
Just lost my covirginity last night.
100-101F fever, chillls and mild aches early on, mild headache.
Really not too bad, getting a 1/2 day of work done in fact.

Heh make that 11/16 = 68.8% now
Hope you feel better soon.
Sorry to hear that. Take care and rest up. Post-Covid pneumonia was, in my case, worse than Covid itself.
Hope you feel better soon.
I might be kicked out of the club soon. Had coffee with a coworker yesterday, today he texts me that he is positive.
We were masked most of the time, but we were drinking our coffee for a bit. We sat pretty far apart from each other while drinking the coffee/unmasked, so I’m not entirely convinced I’ll get it, but there are decent odds.
The unfortunate part is having to isolate until I can test. I scheduled a PCR test for Saturday. Will probably rapid test before then (finally got a stock of them! yay!) even though I know it probably won’t show anything.

I hear that coffee repels the COVID

That’s just part of a covid infection, not a separate thing. That’s the part that typically kills people. The initial presentation is almost always mild, cold-like symptoms. My mom had “a cold” for 3 days, mostly recovered, and then died of covid two weeks later. I don’t think doctors understand why a covid infection leads to inflammation around the body, lung damage, blood clots, etc. But that’s how the disease works.

Well that’s the term the doctor used. 
I developed Covid symptoms on January 6, felt well enough to return to work on January 17 (no cold medicine, not coughing, not phlegmy), then developed pneumonia symptoms on January 29.
Doc said I had “post-Covid pneumonia”.
That is a long time between the primary infection and the pneumonia.
Is that the PCP who said your aren’t infectious but they won’t see you? Or is that the urgent care doc?
I guess that means it’s long covid?
Yikes, good luck. I hope you get better soon.
The urgent care doc.
PCP doc didn’t say I wasn’t infectious. Just that she wouldn’t see me.
Urgent care doc said I wasn’t contagious and used the term “post-Covid pneumonia”.
Pneumonia WITH COVID?
Dang, they didn’t make and extra 20% because the clock ticked on the COVID infection and she only had pneumonia .
Oh, i misunderstood that. She thought you were likely still infectious, probably, which is why she didn’t want you going into the office.
Have your heard back from her? Is she guiding your care, at least?
Lol

Nope.

A doctor that doesn’t treat sick people - interesting. I feel like she might be breaking the doctor code or something.
