Jax and Coronavirus

[Ken_FSU]

I know a few people who have died from COVID-19, and several who have had it, including several family members and childhood friends back home in Central Florida.

Sorry to hear this, Ennis :/

One went back to daycare in June and now goes to Upson 5 days a week.
Another child is at LaVilla 4 days w/ 1 day of home-school
Yet another is at Lee for dual-enrollment and has 2 days at school and 3 days home
The oldest is at FSCJ and 100% online.

Ms tested negative about 4 weeks ago before returning to work at JU

No one else has been tested or shown any signs. 

We've basically followed protocol, even though I admittedly have been pretty lax about it.  But as long as the masks are mandated, I'll continue to wear it. 

I still don't know anyone personally who has been affected severely.  One FB friend from out of town was positive, but aside from mild cold symptoms, nothing else to report.

If I'm reading this right...you have FOUR kids?

Jesus Christ, my hat goes off to you.

I know a number of people who've gotten it, including my cousin, a firefighter. Fortunately his case was mild and they caught it soon enough that it didn't spread to anyone else in the family. From what he says it's hit first responders pretty hard. I know several others who've gotten it bad, and not just older folks.

My wife and I are both working from home. We don't eat out much, but we try to pick up or get delivery several times a week to keep supporting the restaurants. The beach and parks have been lifesavers.

We've had family, both locally and out-of-state have COVID, ranging from mild symptoms for one in our children's' generation, to a hospital stay for my wife's sibling. We had no direct contact with any of them, so did not get tested. Did get tested after a married couple we were with at a church meeting got it. We were negative, with the quick-result test.  They are slowly getting back into circulation.

We've been trying to avoid crowds. My wife owns a small business, so has been going into work - everyone wears masks and they try to socially distance. I'm retired, so staying home is what I do. We have groceries and some prepared meals delivered, but have gone out to eat a few times. We scan for good practices as we go in. We have found a couple places that are doing it right, and have been back to them.

Lol.  Yes.  The bookends are mine and she came with 2 of her own.

The real treat is the spread - 5 through 20.

BTW, it was cheaper to send my son fulltime to UNF than it was to send my daughter to daycare, so just keep that in mind you 'parents to be'.

PREACH.

I got a $10k raise when my daughter moved from daycare to kindergarten.

We got the same raise this year!

That's insane.

Had 2 relatives elsewhere with COVID 19; thankfully both pulled through.  We're also trying to support local take-out, but now getting scared to keep doing that as not everyone masks up NOR does everyone obey the bars not serving alcohol mandate - there are just too many mandates and changes to keep up with.  Sorry to hear of your personal losses, Lake.

Due to the virus Burning man will be virtual this year... https://kindling.burningman.org/multiverse/

So this is the future? Start tripping out, put on your VR headset and there you go, Burning Man.

Monday:  started getting headaches around lunchtime - by 3, it had morphed into full-blown body aches, chills and a fever just over 100.  7pm I was in bed, fever maintained between 100-101 and entire body was achey and sore.  Zero appetite all day.
Tuesday:  woke up throughout the night with diarrhea and crawled out of bed around 8 am.  Still sore all over and a constant headache.  Sweating profusely.  Took a shower and went to left for Covid test.  Tried do fight through and do some computer work, couldn't focus, horrible headache and still no appetite, laid down around 1pm and woke up when J got home from work -5:30ish.  Drenched in sweat, temp had come back to normal and had hunger pains, still diarrhea, and add some nausea to the mix.  Managed to eat a little dinner around 9pm.
Wednesday:  Covid test came back negative, yet persistent diarrhea, bouts of nausea, but otherwise fine.  Took some Tylenol around 11am, ate a regular lunch and was feeling absolutely fine by 3pm.  Even mowed the lawn later that afternoon.

Point for this random info - Had I not needed a negative test to allow me perform some of the duties of my normal job, there would have been zero concern on my end as to what this was - a run of the mill bug - and since I'm the type that only goes to a Dr. or hospital to basically get appendages sewn back on, I'm genuinely concerned for us when flu season actually starts.

Wow... I guess everyone was a bit nervous and scared for a day or two... glad to hear your Ok...

Anybody have appointments for the vaccine yet?
