Yes, report them!! See Ask A Manager, she has resources for reporting businesses that are not compiling with COVID laws.
I love you guys. You’re really helping me get through this looooong bedrest. I usually putter around all day and don’t sit down till the kids are in bed, so this has been hard. Good thing I’m still experiencing fatigue. Took 3 naps yesterday. I typically can only nap when pregnant (definitely not). Purplestar tattle!!! Please unleash all our collective rage!! Keep us posted
Well one mildly good thing to come from COVID-19 in my own personal — one of my oldest friends, we drifted apart when she met her now-husband. (I pointed out a few red flags, it didn’t go well — oops!) I still love her, we’re still friends, but just haven’t been close at all. Anyway, our moms are friends and I heard from my mom that she’s having a rough time with this and reached out last night. I felt unsure about it because our relationship has changed so much, I wasn’t even sure I was someone she WANTS to hear from. We caught up like we haven’t in years and have a FaceTime double date on Monday now. I’m excited.
@Helen I am so glad you are doing better! I was sick right after I came home from a vacation in early March and part of me did wonder if I had it. My symptoms were mild — no fever, but a dry cough and this feeling like I’d done a lot of cardio (not unable to breathe or having serious difficulties catching my breath like I’ve read others describe, but definitely SOMETHING out of my ordinary). I was self-monitoring and self-isolating. I knew I wouldn’t be tested even if I called my doctor. But reading what you’ve been going through is downright scary. And they still wouldn’t/couldn’t test you! Anyway, glad you seem to be on the mend.
thats lovely @Copa and I hope your FT catch-up goes well!!
I don’t know how people work from home regularly. It’s been two weeks for me and I’m going stir-crazy!
Hope everyone is staying healthy and safe out there.I normally wear pj pants and a tshirt with the neck stretched out (can’t stand anything touching my neck) But I dug out an old nightgown and told my husband this is the new sexy sundress. He liked it lol. I haven’t worn anything but pjs or a hospital gown in over a month!
Hi! I hope everyone is staying well and those who have been ill are feeling much better! I’m pretty sure I am on the med from covid. If you follow me on instagram, you may have already seen my update. I started feeling sick on April 2 (about a week after I unwittingly walked into a deliveryman’s cough while on a neighborhood walk with joanie – the last walk I’ve taken), but didn’t think it might be covid until symptoms intensified April 5-7. By the 8th, I was feeling stronger, and I haven’t experience any symptoms now for 24 hours, although Drew started feeling a little sick yesterday. He feels fine this morning but that’s how it started for me too – sick for a day, fine for half a day, etc. So, we’ll see.
I wasn’t able to get a test so I guess I’ll never know for sure. I did have a tele-visit with a dr who said, based on my symptoms, to assume it was covid. I never had trouble breathing, thankfully, though I did have a dry cough, a fever, chills, digestive issues, muscle aches, and even pink eye one morning. The overwhelming symptom though was fatigue. I haven’t experienced fatigue like that since I had mono in high school. The first trimester of pregnancy was rough, but for me, the fatigue didn’t keep me bedridden for days. I did think it could be seasonal allergies and tried to convince myself that’s what it was, but I’ve never had fatigue with allergies. Or muscle aches or chills or a fever, etc.
Anyhoo, I’m much better now and thankful that, if it was corona, it was so mild and my kids seem to have been totally spared. Hopefully, an antibody test down the road, whenever they’re widely available, will provide some peace of mind.
Happy Easter to those who celebrate. I am sorry that you must be cut off from your families and communities during this terrible time and I hope that holiday can provide you with a measure peace.
