My whole family is down with a cold (not COVID, thankfully) for the holiday. First time I’ve caught something since January of 2020. Forgot how much I despise being sick.

Since misery loves company, come tell me your stories of being sick on a holiday.

      Ah man, bummer. Whatever it is, it has absolutely wrecked my throat. I can’t talk or swallow without pain now.

    Reminder that even if you get a negative test, it does not mean it’s not covid. Many people don’t test positive into well into their symptoms. I counted 1 in 5 people sick at my workplace. Whatever you get, whenever you get it, please consider limiting your contact with others to the extent you can. You never know when your cold might be somebody else’s flu or worse.

      We tested well into it to be sure, and it didn’t have COVID-like symptoms, but yeah… Point well taken.
