Stay safe, everyone.

That, plus increased hospital ER visits and hospitalizations, should cause all of us to really wake up

I got Covid at the dentist, the only place I could possibly have gotten it, through, I am convinced, the student observer they let hang around my room without a mask. In the dentist chair I usually have my eyes closed waiting for it to be over, so I have no idea how long he'd been there when I opened my eyes and told him to put on a mask. This is the first time I've had Covid since February 2020, so I'm pretty pissed at my dentist.

Anyway, it wasn't any worse than a mild cold, but I did have a little bit of upper respiratory congestion and a productive cough, and since that happened to me I noticed my same cough almost everywhere I went. So I'm assuming there are massive numbers of people running around with this strain.

my husband and I both had the cold, congestion that moved into the chest, with a productive cough that has lingered for two weeks+. We were not tested for COVID but consider it highly likely.
We picked it up from a restaurant where the worker said they were sick. (And came to work because that industry does not have sick day allowances)

That still wouldn't have saved me from the kid in the room without a mask. I still cannot believe they did that.

COVID-19 cases are surging in Texas, just in time for back-to-school season, according to wastewater samples taken last week.
The viral activity level in the state’s wastewater last week was classified as “very high,” far outpacing national and regional averages, according to data released Friday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The data included wastewater samples from the Houston area, with multiple sites in Harris, Montgomery and Galveston counties reporting very high viral levels. .....
Texas had the second-highest rate of COVID diagnoses among people who visited the emergency department last week, at 2%, the CDC reported. That marked a 17% increase from the week before.

I got COVID in 2023 but it was quite mild since I was vaccinated and boosted each year

Wednesday was rough but I am feeling much better now after starting Paxlovid on Thursday. Vaccinations are very very important.

Hope the COVID has been a mild form.

But no word yet, I guess. 😷

Yeah, very high levels of that were definitely detected in Texas the past week or so.....


COVID ok, so noted.... thanks

a mild case of covid in early 2024. Otherwise I have not had any infectious disease for at least the last 5 years. No colds, no flu, no nothing. I've never in my life gone this long without any disease. Masks work! Not only for covid, but also for other airborne pathogens. I heard somewhere during the outbreak in 2020 that if everybody wore a N95/KN95 mask for 2 weeks, that would eradicate covid. I believe that's true, based on my experience.

good news only please!

Unless of course it's to detract from Epstein.
