I started feeling shitty, and my kid had to get one. I was the one to drive him, so I thought I may as well get one, too. I really didn't think I had it, because I didn't believe I could get it again so soon. I LOVED the idea of being immune. I was in shock...

Well shit, how's your boy doing? Isn't he living with you off and on? I figure if I bring it home ( I go out the most to work and do the errands) my family will get it. Good to hear you're feeling better.

Incredible . You have been infected twice. With proof you could possess valuable blood Samples for the scientist to study. I am curious how much they would pay for your blood at this point .
I am getting my flu shot this week at work if they don’t run out again. Do you believe in flu shots or ever get them?

Thanks, bro. My kid actually has his own place across the city from me. I got him started with the first month and security deposit, but he's been paying it on his own for the last 3 months. Since we don't live together anymore, we wear masks when in the car together, but sit apart inside without wearing them. We're all doing our best. It's difficult, we're such social primates

There are a lot of cases now of people getting covid multiple times, I'm not so unique. I've never had a flu shot, but I'm seriously considering one this year...

Covid is spread by aerosol. Besides a mask you need to wear eye protection.

Consider this. If you have been treated for, or tested positive for CV-19, you now have a pre-existing condition that could be linked to future issues relating to any internal organs including the heart, kidneys, or lungs.
Once/if the aca is killed in scotus, you will no longer have health insurance for those conditions.
Just something to consider. What do you have to lose?

Exclusive: Study suggests dengue may provide some immunity against COVID-19
A new study that analyzed the coronavirus outbreak in Brazil has found a link between the spread of the virus and past outbreaks of dengue fever that suggests exposure to the mosquito-transmitted illness may provide some level of immunity against COVID-19.

We're still reporting over 400 new cases per day and our positive rate is officially over 1%. Toronto city council is voting today to extend the indoor mask requirement until March 2021. How friggen depressing is that? I liked it better when extended it 30 days at a time. I wasn't fooling myself that it would end this year, but it all seems hopeless now. On Friday the gathering restrictions that were placed on Toronto have now been extended to the entire province.

I find some comfort in knowing you had it and didnt give it to him. I appreciate your posts. I personally dont know anyone who has been infected, but I'm definitely not an anti-masker. I wear mine whenever I go into stores which I've limited to every 3 weeks to the grocery store. And I know this shit is real, my wife and I are part of a very small percentage of people keeping our kids home when school starts Sept 28. I know once I started venturing out, the easier it was to become complacent. Last spring when it became serious in the states, my family and I locked down. No hugs, visitors all that. But like you, I have to work as well and I've been lucky to find jobs working alone, I sometimes forget there's a pandemic going on. Last week I realized after about 10 minutes of being home from the mechanics I hadnt washed my hands. Stay safe, man.Thanks, bro. My kid actually has his own place across the city from me.

As of this morning, 8 deaths and 275 infections due to this local wedding. Last week it was 175. I think the wedding was August 8. Just this 50-60 person wedding alone has caused Maine's overall numbers to jump dramatically.Maine wedding reception now linked to deaths of 7 people who didn't attend....
At least seven people have died in connection to a coronavirus outbreak that continues to sicken people in Maine following a wedding reception held over the summer that violated state virus guidelines, public health authorities said. None of the seven people who have died attended the wedding

It will get better eventually. Do you suppose you could find something that would allow you to work from home? Maybe you'd feel a little better with a little coin in your pocket if you're going to be stuck at home.

The fact that it is possible for covid to cause damage to these organs doesn't mean that covid is necessarily the cause of anything that may go awry with these organs. Wouldn't the burden of proof lie with the insurance companies to prove that the cause of the damage was covid? Iow, alcohol can cause liver damage, so anyone who has consumed alcohol who also ends up with a damaged liver won't be covered because drinking alcohol is a pre-existing condition?

Proof never lies with the insurance company. And to your point, if you ever had test results indicating high levels of liver disfunction results, you are tagged for life. Just drinking won't be used, but positive lab tests would.
In the past, as long as you continuously had health insurance they wouldn't claim it as a pre-existing condition. But any gaps in insurance would create the loophole they looked for. Under new rules. all bets would be off.

If proof never lies with the insurance company, how can they ever make any positive claim? i.e. if my doc says I need treatment for kidney failure, and the insurance company says they won't cover that because of x, wouldn't they have to prove x? If not, why would they ever have to pay for anything? Couldn't they just make any assertion they wanted without backing it up? I'm just curious, I don't know much about this stuff...

I've been out of the workforce for so long that I don't think I'm cut out for it anymore. I took a part time job last year as an online customer support agent. Customers were rude and treated me like shit and I quit that after a couple shifts. I also went back to the job I left five years ago in July. It was such a different place than when I worked there. The girls were all way younger than me and very catty. I was going home miserable every day so we decided that I should quit and stay home and look after our affairs.

Ya know, I'm a self admitted lurker of every corner of this site, and I read about your problems with the July job lol. I dont blame you and in the beginning of August I quit a job after a weeks worth of work. It was the best feeling haha, it was like, f you, you dont own me!
I'm out. They were nice enough people, the pay was $35/hr ( it was caretaking) but I could tell I was about 2 days away from being asked to start cleaning up after their 6 dogs. Homie dont play that. They could've paid a high schooler $12 hr to do the job. $10 actually. I think of being stuck at the job when I'm doing something now I dont enjoy lol.Yeah, anyways, this whole deal has been hard. Hang in there.
