Well…this IS the health thread so let me go back to this…my husband and I have remained Covid-free to the best of our knowledge. Our middle son’s three sons (all vaccinated) have all 3 had covid now (from school) and they are all in high school. His wife’s uncle living in Scotland, working as a nurse in a hospital in England caught Covid at work and dies a few weeks later. That was during the first round.
Our oldest son’s family did not vaccinate and they have all had covid. My son survived covid but two weeks later the resulting pneumonia almost killed him.
Our daughter just informed us that 3 people at her work have called in and have been diagnosed with a new variant of Covid and all 3 said they have never been so sick. But as far as I know, none of them have been hospitalized yet.
Bacterial pneumonia is making its rounds in the town where we live. We are not going into town for awhile.
I had a nasty something for 10 days that cleared up finally last week. Runny/stuffy nose, fever off-and-on, nausea from hell, a couple of days of diarrhea, sore throat, headache, migraine aura’s for two days which made the nausea worse. Out youngest son’s birthday was March 20th, he and his wife came over and our daughter came out with the twins. Three days later, DIL came down with it, the next day the birthday boy came down with it, and 2 days after that my daughter, the youngest twin and I all came down with it. The ildest twin came down with it a week later.
So…just as life looked like it was returning to something near normal….yikes! Oh…and my son and daughter both tested for covid and were negative throughout this nasty bit so I didn’t bother to test since we all came down with it so close after being together and I had not been anywhere else.
Fun stuff.
