Yeah, I’m one of those new statistics. My wife had it last week so was just expecting to test positive eventually.
Best of luck Savant. Lot's of chocolate, lemonade, and movies for you.
Take care! I was sick for six days (Day 2 and 5 were the worst).Today I did the gov't paperwork to get the subsidy to cover missed time from work due to COVID19 (will get 200,000 won for 4 missed days - not great but better than nothing).
All the best Savant! Wishing you a speedy recovery!Glad to hear you’re doing better Van!
I'm just counting down the days before I finally catch it. Half of my friends have caught it by now.Anyone else read about this:https://waupost.com/south-korean-doctor-claims-the-reason-why-you-still-dont-have-covid-is-probably-because-you-have-no-friends/"metaphor" I'll remember that the next time I stick my foot in my mouth, lol.

Shanghai is doing the unthinkable (locking down starting today)…but quite frankly it’s too late for any of that. Omicron is far too contagious and will have to be allowed to burn itself out.
“We don’t have to continue to upend human life in our quest to eliminate covid, which can’t happen anyway,” says George Mason University economist Don Boudreaux.“Why not?” I ask. “We eliminated smallpox.”“Smallpox resides only in human beings,” explains Boudreaux. Covid-19 can live in animals — bats, deer, dogs, cats. “We have never eliminated a disease that uses both humans and animals as reservoirs.”Still, China acted as if eliminating covid-19 were possible.They’ve kept deaths much lower (if you believe their numbers) than other countries by imposing nasty repressive measures like quarantines at gunpoint and even locking people in their homes.“It’s just awful. It’s tyrannical. It’s what you expect of a Communist tyrannical government,” says Boudreaux.https://triblive.com/opinion/john-stossel-its-time-to-let-life-resume/“It’s not admitting defeat; it’s admitting reality,” says Boudreaux. “We learn to live with covid in the same way that we learn to live with many other pathogens. … The bacteria that caused the Black Death is still circulating in the human population. A handful of people every year still die of it.”In the Wall Street Journal, he wrote, “Eradication of covid is a dangerous and expensive fantasy.”“We live with countless hazards, each of which we could but sensibly choose not to eradicate. Automobile fatalities could be eradicated by outlawing motor vehicles. Drowning could be eradicated by outlawing swimming and bathing. Electrocution could be eradicated by outlawing electricity. We live with these risks not because we’re indifferent to suffering but because we understand that the costs of zero-drowning or zero-electrocution would be far too great. The same is true of zero-covid.”That’s why, now that we have largely effective vaccines, he says it’s time to end pointless lockdowns and do what Denmark is doing:“Live life normally again! Travel, go to parties, weddings, sporting events. Live life and be joyous! Hopefully, humanity will come to its senses soon.”
More than 1,000 Americans died of Covid-19 yesterday.
Not true. 163 Americans died of Covid-19 yesterday.
