This has been therapeutic for the comradery. Wouldn’t wish anyone join the club for the comradery but while we’re here at least we know we’re not alone & will survive. I’m a week in and woke up this morning with my throat casting a little doubt on that last part.
Amen on the comradery!! Glad to know we've got a wolf pack here. My throat thing came 4 days (started friday) after feeling like crap and lasted up until today. I woke up this morning with my throat feeling...well better...not 100%, but better. It's just scratchy, still got a raspy cough and can feel crap in my chest, but the fatigue part seems to be subsiding for now. Maybe we're rounding the last turn and headed for the finish line? Just take it easy brother. Like my grandpa used to say "what don't kill ya, makes you stronger".

If she tests positive, it doesn’t count against as a call in when it comes to her eval. She was negative so not sure what it is.

We HAD a similar policy. One protection we had, show up for work, go to dispensary, Army Medic that thought he was a Dr would exam and send you back to work or write up "sent home sick" and schedule you off for X days.
I spoke to HR several times about the stupidity of forcing people to come in, knowing they were sick and spreading.

After Covid, policy changed.

Regardless of policy, there will always be abusers.

Not to derail; Alka-Seltzer Plus cold &flu gave me enough relief, I could sleep.

I’m going down fast. The flu truck or whatever it is, hit me about 2 hours ago. Mrs dlbleak had over 102 this morning. I hope she’s on the downside but I know what I have to look forward to.

Hey Darren - I’m sorry to hear you and the wife are sick. Did you and / or your wife take the flu vaccine this year? I did and I’m curious how effective it will be.

Saw reports that the flu vax is said to be around 50% effective-depending on how well it matches the particular strains of the virus. As a senior, I get it every year. Hopefully won’t get sick 🤞🤞

We got hit right after Thanksgiving- more like a cold but also bad diarrhea- like 4 days- coughed and spit up stuff for a month- wife got the same deal about a week after me. Still have some congestion but get up and get nose blow and cough up some clear crap - couple cups of coffee and good to go. Couple guys I do Mason practice with went on a cruise and both had flu/cold when they got back. One of the old guys that does Mason work with us is 87 and he has had covid 3 times. Tough old bird, cause he just keeps going. We have about 5 men 80 to 92 still practicing.
