get better | 100% from work. No one else got sick from ice racing including my wife. She was home all week and I went back to work where it’s a literal dumpster fire. Never even went shopping or anything, just work and home.
My workplace has 1000% given up and is letting it spread like wildfire

Anecdotal but my neighbour works for Canadian blood services and he said 2 of his colleagues were boosted 1-2 months ago and both are currently very sick after testing positive

But no sarcasm I have zero doubt in my mind he’d be in hospital or dead without the vaccines.

Well, finally happened - became a covid statistic as part of the hospitalized crew.
Back home now but want to extend my sincere appreciation for the folks at VGH. From arriving to being wheeled to my own room with all relevant tests done, was only 45 mins.

Glad you're ok though.

What’s the likelihood of a PCR test detecting you’re still positive after previously getting covid within 90 days?

My uncle tested negative for Covid when he was feeling tired and lethargic. Then he got more symptoms such as fever, etc. BOOM, tested positive. He is just getting over it now, but it shows that you need to get tested at the right time for it to be picked up.

| Hana Horka: Czech singer dies after catching Covid intentionally Quote: |
Her son, Jan Rek, said she got infected on purpose when he and his father had the virus, so she could get a recovery pass to access certain venues.
| Imagine.
And this is why we ban anti vaxx idiots from spreading bullshit. People like her who don't know any better end up killing themselves because of this misinformation.

I love that no one anyone actually knows really dies of Covid anymore so news outlets have to make a martyr out of a Czech folk singer..

I can deal with the fever, cough, headache etc but this sore throat is just fucking my shit up. I can’t sleep at night cuz every gulp is like knives, and it’s starting to get quite inflamed. Though oddly enough doesn’t visually look inflamed (like strep/infection)

This might as well be a singer at a local pub for the majority of the world. It’s not someone anyone cares about so it’s not really a “cautionary tale” it’s just some idiot and news media grasping at straws

"Some have even gone as far as to say that Canada "deliberately poisoned" the document."
"The claim comes as China named Canada its least favorite country in a public poll."

It's absolutely a cautionary tale, because there are people who think covid is no longer a big deal, and think vaccines are evil, and will go get covid on purpose to avoid getting a vaccine.
