My mother just tested positive for COVID.
double-masked everywhere, double-vaccinated AND double-boostered. still not good enough.
She's 67 and a cancer survivor.
I extend the biggest possible hug YOU to every single anti-mask anti-science person for endangering her, my dad, their coworkers and the rest of the family.

Hope it ends up being a mild case, and that nothing long-term is left behind.
That FU is well-deserved I'm sure.

Indeed, I hope your mum recovers quickly and is not left with any lingering side-effects.
My boss tested positive last week, after managing to avoid catching Covid throughout this entire pandemic.
I hear he's having a pretty rough go of it, so that's not good for him.

Because stupid Rednecks would STILL end up shooting themselves in their feet...
They'll somehow conclude that Big Pharma is trying to take their guns and start shooting up hospitals.

Florida has basically seceded in every way that doesn't involve cutting us off from federal money or losing our seats in congress.
So, despite my best efforts, someone in my mother's quilt group (and I also learned she was being more lax with masking than she should have been) had "da vid" and ended up spreading it to a bunch of people. Including my mother, who infected me.
Symptoms started on Saturday, but the COVID test turned negative. Retested today, and it was positive. Symptoms are mostly severe cold (congestion, cough, headache), though today I've lost taste.

Cancun Cruz is going after Sesame Street again. My money's on the muppets over the puppet.
Welp, my brother's entire family has covid. Okay, so, not a big deal, they're isolating and all that.
So... today dad is pretty congested, and both mom and I have scratchy throats. jive. We went and got some tests, dad is going to test sometime in the next day or so, and if he's positive then mom and I will test too. Considering we're planning a trip to ottawa in the next week: I kinda hopes its negative, I want out of the province for a few hours. Hit up a TRU that doesn't outright suck.
Edit: of course. Dad has covid, going to test myself tomorrow.
