OT Have You Ever Been To Moab, Utah?

[ABM]

I'm sorry to hear this but I told you it was a terrible time to go on a vacation ....your answer to my post was....I'm not missing my sister's birthday....hopefully you haven't spread it to others...hopefully you'll contact those you've spent time with and hopefully you'll get through it ok. Two of my granddaughters in California tested positive awhile back and survived it ...they had gone back to work on the advice of Trump....their dad is a Trump fan....man did they regret listening to that liar......now I hope they don't have permanent damage from the infection like shortness of breath, heart disease, etc....Fauci said we don't know the long term effects yet.

Understood. Really, though, other then the time with my family (we left them on August 2nd), we've pretty much been keeping to ourselves. Again, I believe I contracted it late last week. Could've happened right here at home, I suppose.

It is what it is.....

Heh, true enough.

Covid can linger in the air for up to 8 minutes like cigarette smoke....again...I hope you get through this. America needs to wake up and take this shit seriously

I hate to admit it but the cabin fever finally kicked my ass, so my cousin and I are on a short trip to Joseph, Wallowa, Baker City, etc. Establishments are doing a good job overall of taking things serious, but some of the locals are very vocal about face masks. Fuck ‘em. Things are slow here, so everywhere we go we are effusively welcomed and treated exceedingly well. I’m glad I came but I’ll be white knuckling it for the next couple of weeks. It will be what it’s gonna be I guess.....

Just tested positive for COVID-19. I'm only dealing with a little cough, a temp of 99, a few sneezes here and there. Nonetheless, my wife thought I should go in to be tested. Glad I did.

That said, the entire trip, we practiced safe distancing, masks all the time, the whole nine yards. However, last week, we did have breakfast with one of my wife's close friends. She's an ER nurse. The masks came off while we ate. Etc., etc. The nurse even commented that most of the hospital staff HATES the masks, and take them off whenever possible. Strange indeed.

Anyhoo, considering some of the things I've said in here regarding the covid, you "may" have thought I was taking a devil-may-care, cavalier approach to the virus. Trust me, we haven't. And, again, we took every cautionary approach on this trip. I was starting to feel a little down, lack of energy, late last week, so that's probably about the time I contracted it.

May the quarantine begin.

Isn't that exactly what you wanted to have happen? You were just talking about herd immunity. Well now you can make your herd immune.

j/k

Please stay home and safe. And I have no idea if your state does contact tracing but if it does please answer accurately.

I hope you recover unscathed. I don't wish this on anyone regardless of their stance about anything... unlike some.

I'm under quarantine. The nurse from Vanderbilt said that the test is 70% accurate. Probably false-negatives are the culprits.

Sorry to hear. Wish you well

You should still participate with contact tracing.

We've put the word out to anyone we were in contact with.

That's great but that's not contact tracing. The department of health for Tennessee does do contact tracing. If they call please answer their questions accurately and honestly. This could help to save lives beyond the ones you yourself have notified. It could also help your state and local governments make more accurate decisions on closures and even re-openings. I know there is a lot out there on some sites that tell people not to answer government questions about covid but that is a bunch of BS.

I was just going to say this....we're actually back to square one fighting this virus today....over 1k deaths per day....New Zealand had it's first case in months from a frozen food plant....one family of 9 people infected...they immediately locked the entire city back down and did back tracing....the back tracing is what has saved Denmark, New Zealand and Taiwan from having it spread out of control...Trump a couple days ago said New Zealand had a huge infection rise....their prime minister snapped back....it was one family of 9....and they are quarantined ...science denying govt here in the US has contributed to lazy approaches and denial about how serious it is. America needs to wake the fuck up. If we continue stubborn denial about this, many, many more will die unnecessarily and that's on our lack of leadership

No worries. Kinda already know what they'll be asking.

Let's hope it's a false positive.

Were you able to take that trip? We took a detour from The Dalles to Boise and swung down through the Painted Hills. Wow! Stunning colors! The geology there is simply breathtaking in a desert kinda way.

As it turns out, Missouri has become somewhat of a hot spot. I'm convinced I contracted this thing in Branson....
