    can confirm it doesn’t not spread that way

    However, if labored breathing is an issue, frequent breaks may be required

    Day Two of covid in the house. I still feel fine and am trying to keep as much distance as possible but since we turned the 3rd bedroom into an office, no choice but to sleep with Patient X. She had some chills last night and her throat is worse today but feels ok other than that.

    CDC says it takes 1-2 weeks for the booster to fully kick in. I got mine on Monday so that could've had better timing.

    Let's say you've got a teenager that has previously had Covid and you want to utilize a drive in testing site, but you don't want to have your child exposed to the virus that might be lurking in the other cars. What do you do?

    One Texas teacher came up with a fool proof plan. She put the kid in the trunk.

    I did, but the doctor gave me some medication and the swelling cleared up after a few days.

    So the wife first had symptoms on Thursday, if I don't have symptoms and test negative by Sunday evening, what are the guidelines for work on Monday?

    Exactly; how else are we going to reach herd-immunity and get back to normal?

    Tell me you're not a small business owner without telling me you're not a small business owner.


    Closing the shop down is 100% not an option. We have formulated a covid plan of action but it will be a giant pain in the ass. All the guidelines I've read so far are if you've tested positive or have symptoms. Nothing if you've just been exposed.

    I don't think I've ever represented myself as a small business owner. I'm a wagie looking to suck at the teat of poorly invested venture capital.

    We break it down as primary, secondary and tertiary.

    Primary is the guy who has it. Stay home until you’re better, or five days. Whatever is longer.

    Secondary was exposed to the primary. Test and mask around people until we know you’re clear, but okay to come in.

    Tertiary was exposed to the secondary. No action required.
