^^ didn't they say you're fucked as it causes lung scarring or something so you will never get the capacity back?

I had to take a COVID test last month because I work in health care and woke up with a sore throat one morning. Sore throat was gone by mid day but had to isolate until I got test results back (test was the next day then another 2 days to get results). Was super lame.

I think my mom's a bit sad. The kids are moved out and she's trying to plan a Christmas gathering cause she misses her children. It hurt me to reluctantly tell her no, not this year.

I'm just going to stay home for the holidays and spend it with my wife (just the 2 of us).

Sometimes I wonder why the fuck do I try so hard when so many others don't seem to give a shit.

Not sure really but on the 6th night I had to go to the hospital because I felt like my breathing was extra laboured and I got winded easily and couldn't finish a sentence without grasping for air. Oxygen saturation was good, got lung x-ray too and the doctor said my lungs looked ok just a little puffed up but he said its typical. I haven't gotten my lung tested again since so I don't know.

My first couple of days back to work was rough, dumber than usual, forgot stuff and my mind was just blank, got dizzy and winded easily but all good now, I'd say 90% back to how I was.

Keep your family safe. You'll get more time with them. I feel the same way, it really sucks. This is literally year one of 35 without spending it with my grandparents. It's not worth the risk. I'll gamble losing one year with them in hopes of gaining 5 or more.

Considering how many people rarely (if ever) get to spend Christmas with family members due to distance missing one myself isn't the end of the world. You could always do delayed Christmas in the summer or something when the numbers should be doing a bit better.

Of course then there's 2 of my coworkers who went down to the US to spend Christmas with their in-laws. I thought the border was supposed to be closed but apparently not.

Did they give you anything to help breathe? Being short of breath is like my worst fear

The nurse mentioned they might give me puffer to help open up the airways but the Doctor said I'm good enough so they didn't give me anything. They said just rest, drink plenty of water and take tylenol for fever

Where do you think you got it from?

100% from work. My boss got it and then just got passed around. On the day back after the weekend, 2 of my other coworkers didn't come in. they said they had symptoms over the weekend and sure enough they were positive so it was just a matter of time for me.

shitty, was your workplace taking precautions? What kind of environment is it? Office?

FYI. The BC Recovery Benefit online application was "supposed" to be up and running on the government website as of today.

-was filling out step 5 of the application. Then this error message pops up after I submit my info. :lawl:



500 Internal Server Error

Government websites suck!

Couldn't even load main page LOL. Will wait until later. Fucking system overloaded.

Get your anti-care home payments!

Applications open until June 30th but everyone wants that Christmas bonus asap.

I wonder how much fraud there will be on this hand out.

Also makes me wonder if there will be any negative consequences to those looking for mortgages given the record low rates.

i.e. big bad bank sees this as an increased risk/liability on your file

Headaches and a cold. Then she went to get tested.

My friend said his mom went to visit her mom at an old folks home and may have got infected from there....

:heckno:

I've heard this for CERB.

However, this is entirely different than CERB.

Banks put a message on your account that you received cerb or if you deferred your loans. So they will dig more if you apply for anything in the future.

More info on this? I’ve never heard a single person say this ever since corona started

Nothing much to say besides that they aren't charities. And as Kanye said " she don't want no broke n__as"

He didn’t say that though lol.

Horgan rolling out “compliance patrols” but doesn’t even understand the rules himself:

unlike that pos mayor who's blatantly disregarding the order
