Anyone here have COVID?

The Frau, being the overachiever that she is, has just been diagnosed with COVID for the THIRD time!!!

She has all her shots and boosters. For Thanksgiving she visited her sister who is, unfortunately dying of cancer. Her family was visiting her for what would most likely be her last Thanksgiving.

It turned out that two of her sister's kids are antivaxers but they showed up unmasked too.

Seriously, your mother is dying of cancer and has pretty much NO immune system due to the Chemo but you still show up unmasked. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!

Well this turned out to be a spreader event. The Frau was diagnosed with COVID about three days after coming home. We later found out that the entire group, including the cancer patient also have COVID. We have not gotten any updates about the sister.

Fortunately, The Frau's symptoms were pretty minor. Coughing, headache, nausea. She shook it in about a week or so.

Than came Christmas. We had her local family over at our place. Everyone was vaccinated and some had the booster.

Turned out that this was also a spreader event. The Frau tested positive for a third time. The rest of her family are also positive.

Unfortunately, this time her symptoms are pretty bad. Not bad enough to go to the hospital, but bad enough that we have an admittance plan in case. Fever, coughing, chest pains, pretty crappy.

(knocking on my head) Fortunately, I have remained symptom free during these last two infections. So I can do what I do best -- take care of the woman I love.

So we will be spending NYE together and hopefully she will be fast asleep early today. Sleep is what she needs.

This COVID crap ain't going away.

Even with both shots and the booster, some people can still get it. Gotta keep those masks and social distancing going.

Happy 2020 Too.

Same [stuff] Different Year.
