Le sigh.

Hello. I’ve had a fever for four days now (Covid tests were negative) which has morphed into a fever with diarrhea.

Tom, have you seen a doctor/urgent care? Since you added an exciting new symptom (instead of getting better), it might not be a bad idea.

Oh no, Tom! Take care of yourself, that sounds potentially dangerous

With Omicron I've heard of people getting false negatives for 3 or 4 days before it showed up.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Those definitely sound like BA.5 symptoms, Tom. Either way I hope you can get checked out and start feeling better soon!

Tim went in to work early today, so he left before I got up, and there was a Covid test (negative) in the bathroom trash. Considering that he's the guy who went to work for half a day with a collapsed lung (his ability to work while feeling very unwell is quite the skill), I'm assuming if he felt unwell enough to take a Covid test, he probably feels pretty crappy. (Also, no one at his workplace is wearing masks, so if Omicron BA.5 is going through his co-workers, he's gonna get it.) (I will stabbinate him if he gives me Covid a third time.) (Because it's all about me, of course.)

I’m taking a sick day today but I didn’t think to take a Covid test until my supervisor mentioned it. Negative, though.
