Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

Some background. I am a RN and have been working mostly Covid Units since it began.
I got all my shots when first available because it seemed the right thing to do at the time. I'm not sure I would now. Started getting progressively weaker over several months. I'm 67 so I blew it off as getting older. Tested Covid+ on a home test but (-) at the hospital.
Getting stronger now. Off the home O2. Hopefully returning to work in a few weeks.

Bless you and thank you for all you do! I wish you the best in your continued recovery

I haven't had time to look at this yet but saw this announcement on aphis site today. They have put together a dashboard with data on Sars-Cov-2 in animals.

I refuse to look! My youngest cat is fragile, has asthma, and is just getting over pneumonia . I hope he doesn’t get my Covid!

Best to not interact with pets while having Covid, just as you don't want to interact with the humans at home either.

I’m doing my best, but my older cat is used to being physically attached to a human any time one is available. My youngest, at least, says “hello” and goes about his day, mostly. My “middle cat” just uses us as a can opener. She should be fine.

@Daphne_loves_mealworms hope you feel better soon and that your cats don't get anything.

Our internists are the same, can't really blame them.
"Get tested and let us know" is the story, and then "go to urgent care or the ER" if it's bad.

I did. I took three tests. They still would not see me.

I know that in rural areas it may not be an option but it may be time to find a new Doctor.
I have been sick about 3 months, seen 20+ doctors, 3 hospital stays, blood clots, pneumonia, R & L heart cath.. Still can't find out what's going on.

Wow, and you are an RN.

How can you not interact with your animals. My dogs won’t leave me alone

Love them, just not in your face!

Yes, DW also. It scares me that most people go through this with NO medical background. The last doctor said everything is normal, that I was sick and it's just taking a long time to recover. I don't know. I feel fine until I try to exert myself. Then I feel like I'm going to pass out. (Half hour work, 2 hours laid out on the sofa.)
