So far so good, all I've had is slight body aches, a headache, fatigue, a stuffy nose, and the loss of smell/taste. No fever or cough or anything like that. If I didn't know I had Covid I'd be working tonight let's just put it that way. I don't want to get too far ahead of myself and celebrate just yet because I've read that days 5-10 tend to be the worst and I'm only on day 4 but so far it's been very mild for me.

Great news considering the circumstances!! Hoping for this being continuous throughout the rest of it. Don't be anxious about the upcoming days though if you are as there's so many moderate cases. No need to work yourself up. I'll be curious to hear more about it in the coming days. Have any doctors suggested anything for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear you're feeling well. On behalf of the rest of the country, thanks for setting yourself up to get tested and for quarantining. Considering you probably would have gone into work otherwise, it likely ended up mattering. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a quote by @theJ about two extremes that we had to avoid back in the early days of this thread: A) We shut down too long and become destitute, or B) We open up too early and cause economic and health issues. I feel like we may have chosen option B. It's sad since now that we know better, option C could have been reopening with a federal mask mandate. And you know enacting those testing, tracing, and isolating mechanics that was originally outlined. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fines for non-compliance. Specifies that mesh masks aren't masks for the purposes of the order. Hopefully when this is challenged the change in the WI supreme court results in it sticking. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone wants to pass the buck and let someone else make the hard decision, top down. If things go well, “see, we let folks make decisions for themselves” and if they don’t “well, that was their call”. Very few people actually taking ownership. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few people actually taking ownership. agreed. would also add that more rural areas with small school enrollments vs larger urban/suburban schools can handle things differently. Where I grew up and went to school, 400 kids in HS is way different than where my daughter is set to go with 2300 kids in HS. Much easier to do a hybrid type model in a 400 kid HS vs a 2300 kid HS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
