A/C is a most wonderful thing. Yay!
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I encourage everyone to keep testing negative.
I was really hoping to get another booster before traveling next month, but the last thing I read was that the updated omicron boosters will probably be available sooner than they thought, so they won't authorize the current booster for people under 50.
