Red Mosquito

My wife’s 15 year old daughter, who had her first shot, has Covid. She’s having some pretty heavy symptoms. Been sleeping about 12-14 hours a day with fever and headaches for about a week. And she’s a fit, healthy kid. Gave us a good scare but today she came downstairs and was very chipper and alert.

Guess she wasn't masking up

Very doubtful she wears a mask outside of any adults in her life being around.

they are annoying

So masks don't work?

No, I'm saying she probably got it because she doesn't wear a mask unless her mom or dad are around to tell her to. When she's hanging with friends or her boyfriend, I doubt the mask is on. If she would have worn a mask, she wouldn't have gotten it.

That is so anti-science. If her friends had worn masks, her chances of getting Covid would have been lower. He wearing or not wearing a mask does not make a material impact on the chances of her getting Covid.

sorry man hope she feels better

Well, first ... that's wrong.

And second ....

You think Ruddo's step daughter is taking her mask off when hanging out with her boyfriend, and he's keeping his on?

So, I was being a little extreme with my mask statement just to rib verb a little. But anti-science? Lol. Do you mean fake news?

I am just prickly about Covid today. The complete lack of competence by every level of government in Canada has been truly stellar during Covid.

Thank you. Reading through them now. Some interesting papers actually.

and thus concludes today's episode of people talking out of their ass in the covid thread

My dad finally came home yesterday after 135 days of hospitalization. The stats:

- 77 days on a ventilator
- 7 different medical facilities
- 4 ambulance rides
- 1 helicopter ride
- 2 car trips
- 36 doctors/specialists
- 1 new grandson

We are relieved and thrilled that he is home. What a ride that will surely last for years into the future.

Congrats, MD.

And good luck with the bills!
