WOOOOOOOO!

My wife just tested positive for COVID the second time this year and we are sooo mad. We are so sick of other people and their total disregard for each other. Even tho we don't know for sure where she got it, we were at a small gathering last weekend where someone showed up sick without any sort of warning. They said it's not COVID and something about how its just their sinuses, you know, the normal brushing off of obvious symptoms.

Then on Monday I had to go to the office for a meeting and overheard 2 different people saying they weren't feeling great... They both ended up going home and neither of them showed up the next day, but a third person did show up the next day, also complaining about being sick... I really just don't understand why!

My wife and I do everything we cant to be safe; we wear masks in public, we make our concerns known, we have canceled and changed plan in order to keep in line with our concerns and comfort.

Why do people insist on going to work or to gatherings when they can admit they are sick?

Why does nobody give a shit about anyone around them?

I hate people, I really do, but I still don't go into social situations while sick and if I had to I would wear a fucking mask. It's that fucking simple, yet no one has the common courtesy to not bring their fucking communicable disease into public.

Fuck people.

FUCK

UPDATE: Just got an email from one of my colleagues who just tested positive for COVID. He was in the office Monday, complaining about feeling sick, but waited 4 days to test because “he didn’t even think about COVID until someone else mentioned it.” Mind you, this person sees me with a mask on EVERY DAY, but didn’t think about COVID…

I really really hate people and am thinking about leaning into the hermit life. Just me, my partner, and our cats; everyone else can fuck off.

This was me, actually. It wasn't Covid, thank god, but I wasn't able to do over 3 days of sick days without a Doctors note and things are already tight. Thankfully I at least masked up, kept some space on people, and had 10 hours paid vacation.
