Covid comes to the SK household

[AdagioM]

You’ve done all the right things as far as vaxxing. Wishing Mr. SK a mild case, and hoping you don’t get it!

@AdagioM thank you!!

Phooey - I managed to avoid it by following your plan. Hope it works for you.

Hoping that Mr SK recovers quickly and that you escape unscathed.

You mean, you avoided in-home transmission from your spouse? That’s encouraging!

Thanks @wtg !

Oh no. I hope Mr. SK gets over it quickly with no long term effects. Hoping you don't get it as well.

It reminds me I need to make an appointment tomorrow for this year's covid vaccine. Got my flu shot last week and felt sluggish for 3 or 4 days afterwards.

@Bernard thank you!

Fortunately we both got the flu and Covid vaccines already (in mid-Sept I believe).

I am supposed to go to a conference on Friday, Thursday and Saturday are to be the travel days, my colleague is driving. I’ll contact him today to consult.

As I see it, the options are: 1) don’t go. 2) go and wear a mask in the car. 3) go and we both wear a mask in the car (if I go, this would be my preference). Presuming I don’t get sick of course.

Ugh, what a hassle, this is kind of an important trip. I really do not want to miss it, but I would hate to make him sick, or get sick while there, or have Mr SK get worse while I’m away…

This is why I’ve spent 6 years masking, is to avoid situations like this.

Phooey.

MrsTuner and I have each had Covid a couple of times without much discomfort. We've never passed it from one to another - and we never masked at home or slept apart from each other. Go figure.

That's good to hear! As I mentioned, this is a first for our household, after all these years!

Wow! Well, I am hoping I don't get it. I sure would like to 1) not get sick, and 2) go to my conference as scheduled!

I got covid last fall, before I’d had a chance to get the vaccine. Fever and felt pretty awful for a few days. Made sure I got both flu and Covid vaccines early this year. This year, the Covid vaccine made my arm really sore for a couple of days, and I barely noticed the flu one. Hope you can keep from catching it!

[ShiroKuro]

@Jodi thank you!!

Yes, I’m glad we got vaxxed on schedule this year !

Oh no! Take care of yourselves!

If he's not feeling terrible now he's not likely to. I've had it four times now, once from a funeral and three times flying, and only spent one day in bed. I believe the vaccines do what they are supposed to.
