I don't know if its people going back to school or just the general jump in cases but fuck...I feel like its just a matter of time until I get it at this point.

I don't want to get it. I'm vaccinated. I wear a mask in public places. I go to work but mostly just stay in my office but still feel like I'm going to get it. Just in the last week and a half I have had to send three of my employees home -- two because their kids tested positive first. Then a family member and a friend have all tested positive now. No one is in the hospital or super sick or anything but I still don't want to get it.

I'm tired of this.

Nope, to this day Ive still never met anyone who has had it. Or at least openly said they had it.

Wife's 2 brothers both had it, 2 teachers in the school district where I live here died of it. Three kids in my nephew's class got it right before summer, thankfully he did not. Lady I work with was out for two weeks just a few days ago with it, gave it to her elderly parents unknowingly, put her mom in the hospital. COVID has surged in this area nearly 1000% in the last couple months, bumfuck Tennessee so you can probably guess the brainpower of a lot of people here and masks basically don't exist anymore. It feels worse now than it did this time last year.
Above us lay the burdens, Below us lay the truths. We're somewhere in the middle, and we're all discontent too.

Myself and a couple of my friends have had it. Friend's mom was in the hospital for a week over it.

Would rather no one else get it.

Right. Here too (Florida of course).

Last year they at least let us work from home and maybe that is why it didn't seem as bad or something. Every day someone else is going to get tested because they were around someone or it just sick themselves.

2 guys at work have died from it. Young black guys.

Anyone I spend time with is vaccinated and I'm still working remotely so generally no.

I may have been asymptomatic since getting vaccinated but I dunno

The local news keeps saying cases are spiking but I asked my Mom who's a nurse at the largest hospital in the area and she said they haven't seen any huge increase in Covid patients. Haven't met anyone personally who's gotten it recently.

Confirmed case in a coworker, so I tend to find an excuse to shy away from anyone else at the workplace who has a dry cough... even though it's been a month since the confirmed case.

No, the closest was a single coworker who came into contact with someone who had it and quarantined. But other then that, nothing.

My co worker gave it to me last Christmas. Bastard was a germ freak, wore his mask, always was using hand sanitizer, and was always giving me shit saying he knew I was gonna give him covid somehow.

Well he had 3 kids in school, and his response was kids cant spread covid. Smh, all his kids classes ended up quarantining for 2 weeks than later next week I started getting symptoms, which I gave to my roomates

thankfully none of were affected to much tho

I had covid back in late December through late January. Someone else on the network team at my job has it now. He's vaccinated, so he just has a very mild case. Much better than what I went through.

COVID went HAM through my dad's office, got a bunch of people in their church, and got a bunch of people I knew that went out regularly at the height of the pandemic.

Nobody in my circle got it prior to vaccination, though. Which is pretty lucky for my dad, frankly.

2 coworkers were just cleared to return to work last week. A 3rd is still out with it. A handful of employee's at my mom's job got exposed a couple days ago by all having a get together with a common friend, who received a positive result the next day(why on earth you'd agree to meet up while awaiting the results baffles me).
Work in progress, please be patient.

A couple dumb neighbor families got it after going on vacation a few weeks ago. Parents, kids, even several aunts, uncles, and cousins for good measure.

There's also a cousin of mine who spends his time extolling the virtues of ivermectin. What a shock, that family has it now too.

I work for an outfit with over a dozen branches with 300 employees and we get emails when confirmed cases pop up in the company. Over the last handful of weeks, its been every 2-4 days that we get a new email with a confirmed case, or cases.

I have a small family and circle of friends. Almost all of us are vaccinated at this point and all of us have avoided catching it so far. Knock on wood. Mostly geriatrics left in my family.

i was very close to getting covid several days ago if my roommate decided to see his grandfather in the past week.
dodged a bullet there.

someone out in public. staffer or resident seems to be the likely source.

with hood to coast going on in my county. it's going to be very hard to dodge the virus until things die down. trying to limit my store trips as much as possible.

Since this whole thing started:

Both of my parents (both unfortunately passed)
Brother In Law
2 nephews
Aunt (twice)
3 Co-Workers

And that's just people I consider "close contacts". There's at least another half dozen people I know (like my son's old baseball coach and my next door neighbor) that got it as well.

No idea how it has avoided my household, especially with how close in contact I was when my parents had it and were in the hospital, my job not shutting down at all (save for 2 weeks in April 2020 when we assumed it was at it's peak), and both of my kids being in school most of last year.
It takes zero effort to be a good person.

This. That sucks.

How do you deal with kids in school? That has to be stressful. I had another employee test positive yesterday

Yep. The whole of last year, I don't remember anyone I know of contracting it. Now my sister-in-law's family has it, I was exposed, my parents were exposed, some coworkers had it, my cousin was exposed, big swathes of people that my mom knows had it, and so on.
