Both my son and his boyfriend are sick with covid, AGAIN. [View all]

This time omicron. Both work in healthcare and I'm sure one got it from the other. They are both vaxxed and boostered and young & healthy so I'm not too worried.

About a fourth (guessing) of our workforce at the clinic is out sick.

I had a headache off and on all weekend and then when I got up this morning. Ibuprofen worked well so I went to work. I arrived for my shift, as usual, at 1:30 and about 3:30 I had to leave my station to run to the bathroom where I was violently ill. My boss got a replacement for me around 5:30.

Arrrrrgh!

Oddly, my son and his S.O. have much worse symptoms with this one than with the Delta. Laffy Kat Jan 2022 #8

I hope you are all feeling better soon. And a quarter of your workforce out: femmedem Jan 2022 #2
