Coronavirus

[kirksnosehair]

I'm sure there are people who do it because they're just selfish assholes who don't care about anyone but themselves, but something tells me that more often than not people go to work knowingly sick with the 'rona because they literally live paycheck to paycheck and if they miss any hours they can't pay their bills. 


I am fortunate that I've not had to face such financial instability in a long time, but I know for every guy like me there are 50 who can't pay the rent this month because their hours at work got cut back through no fault of their own. 


It puts massive amounts of emotional stress on people and when that happens you get a lot of lashing out and seemingly irrational behavior.


There's an old saying around the 12-step program halls that goes like this:  Hurt people hurt people.

I definitely think there should be assistance for those who need to be out of work due to covid.  That's a deeper health issue wtih this country that people don't get sick time, or specifically, covid sick time funded by the government during a pandemic.  I know my job we have to code our time sheets if we are out sick and there's a seperate code if you have to be out for covid.  (I'm not sure the reason other than to have that statistic) but that protection should be for everyone IMO.

Over 24hrs since second Pfizer shot and zero side effects. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I had the Moderna vaccine and I'm exhausted today.   Legs are jelly and I feel drained.

That's great to hear.

Here in NYC, I don't know how it works, but you get an extra 5 sick day provided by the state or city. What employers do so you don't have an excess of sick time is that those days get added to your vacation time to use as you please (they count as 5 personal days).

The exhaustion i felt when i had Covid was like nothing I’ve experienced before. It was so weird.

Thankfully I've been luck not to get it. I remember you were saying Gary that you were in bed a ton.

Yep. It was a lot of laying around. Zero energy, felt like gravity was working on my body at five times it’s normal pull.

[Evermind]

It was really weird. Can't speak for anyone else and I didn't really get into details when I was ill, but sometimes it took me up to 40 minutes from realizing I'd like to drink some water to actually gather some will to get up from bed and get some water.

[King Postwhore]

Your so drained I bet.

[bosk1]

Your so drained I bet.

I bet you think this thread is about you.

I believe it - as gmiller alluded, I felt like I was on a planet where gravity was twice that of the earth! I would lay in bed just staring at the ceiling and if I needed to go to the bathroom, I'd have to move on leg off the bed, 5 minutes later, the other leg was off and it was all I could do to push myself off!!

Good lord - it sucked!

Just want to echo the concern for Firewings/Kattlelox/Walrus. I have noticed that he just has not been himself here since his disagreement with bosk a few months back. His posts do seem out of character. He has mentioned before his desire to have bosk delete him.

I loved following his roulettes and interacting with him in the music forum. Would be a shame to lose his insight and contributions.

You're so drained!!!
I bet you think this thread is about you, don't you, don't you?

If that gets stuck in my head I'm driving up to Sacramento and leaving a bag of flaming poop on your porch

If you do, knock and come in for some grub before heading home.  I'm vaxxed, so...

My wife got the second dose of Pfizer yesterday and she is exhausted today with body aches. She didn't feel much yesterday but it really hit today.

[bosk1]

Joe, is that first or second dose?

[King Postwhore]

First.  I'm not hurting at all but I have no energy right now.

[T-ski]

Over 24hrs since second Pfizer shot and zero side effects. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Not surprised, I’m hearing those that have had the virus have very little reaction to the vaccine.

[T-ski]

I don’t know Katt/Walrus outside of his posts here, but ya, somethings seems different. Hope the guy is alright.

I've wondered this, but hadn't actually heard or read anything to come to a conclusion.  I'm curious how I react when I eventually get it because I believe I had caught it over a year ago, but that was before people thought it was in the US so I have no proof of that.

Good to hear!

Just relax and get busy with the facts.

I could not make it to Rome from Nome right now.

There's nothing wrong with The Walrus. He made the decision that certain interactions here were toxic in his life and nothing positive or beneficial came from arguing with certain people. Perfectly understandable IMO.

If he feels this place is toxic and/or bad for him, then yes, he should leave for his own well being and no one should have negative feelings for that (other than missing a fan of a lot of the same things as us all).  However, I didn't read anyone really being personal with him while he took personal shots at a few of us.   I think he's a cool dude, spent 4 nights in an apartment with him for Progpower 2019 and we had a good time.  I didn't agree with him here, but I didn't see it as an ending of a friendship.  Actually, I think it's the first time someone I viewed as a friend blocked me on social media. So that's the part I don't understand and actually makes me feel some concern.  I think I even mentioned here that we missed him when he left. I do wish the best for him even if we don't see eye to eye.  I'll gladly have a drink with him at progpower 2021 if it happens and we all can get there.

I agree with cram. Chad and I vouched for him to get him back on DTF. He went out of his way to upset his friends. Even when we apologized if we upset him he went on the attack.

I didn't want this. I loved my conversations with Mike. Just because this one disagreement happened doesn't mean you blow up your world.

I don't agree with many of my friends, doesn't mean I can't still be friends.

No u....


Brohug?

[King Postwhore]

I'd rather snuggle with you.

[Adami]

What the hell am I walking into?

And how do I get in on it?
