like. I know it's covid just based on exposure but hey antigens what gives

it's also one of those moments of "well if I was still in the office I'd obviously call out sick but could I reasonably do any work today?"

The newer variant is less likely to show up on home tests, iirc.

yeah seems like that's the case

I've taken 4 at home tests, all negative

Oof Well, there's always PCR, I guess?? But regardless, I hope you stop trying to cough up your lungs asap.

oh my god you poor thing

yeah tho honestly I'm like. a positive test result wouldn't change a lot for me. I'm still gonna isolate and rest, I don't have any risk factors so paxlovid's not really an option

if I describe what's going on to anyone with sense it's obvious that it's covid

anyway. I'm gonna go call out of work again.

REST WELL 😭

Noooo ugh

oh jeez feel better

ughhhh

tho the radio in my uber today says there are a bunch of cases of whooping cough going around King County.

I don't think it's whooping cough since the cough is not that bad but good to know this is the world we live in

Blehhhhh 8(

"good" news, got a new batch of covid tests and the first one gave me a positive

well at least it's confirmed. hope you feel better soon!

y-yaaay

c... congrats...

CONFIRMED....

keeping this as my covid containment plurk but I managed to stay awake for the whole day today!

progress....!1

yay!!
