Current Events > Woke up with a slight cough and runny nose.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Have to stay home and lose out on money. And have anxiety over if its covid or not, did I infect anyone? I feel fine I could work but I have to stay home. Just took a test so well see results later tonight.

I miss the times when I barely noticed a slight cold.

You qualify for sick pay?

Then you can apply for money for your karensdag from Frskringskassan. This is a measure in place because of covid. Youll get 500-600 kr.

Its not enough imo, it annoys me that they keep saying they removed karensdagen but its not what thwy did, and I will lose out on OB tomorrow (I dunno what its called in English but you get paid extra during uncomfortable hours like after 7pm, weekends and nights etc).

I hope you get better. That really sucks. Agreed on the whole karensdag thing. It's messed up.

Going out when you potentially have covid is a crime here under the Disease Prevention Law.

This. We can't do that all the time

Hmm. No result yet. Every time ive gotten result the same day.

Had no more cough, and no runny nose, but mu throat have been itching like it does start of sore throat.

Well it was negative. Feeling still a bit of a cold so I guess its just a cold.

I will be called when its my turn. Since I work in health care with elderly risk group Ill prob get it sooner than later.

i got mine yesterday morning and i just want to say that i was way too worried over it. my arm is a little sore. i got some chills last night. that's been it.

Glad to hear it fam

i did want to say healthcare workers can still practice social distancing. it doesn't mean living suspended in a six-foot orbit from everything else forever. do it when you can and try to keep prolonged exposure down.

i wanted the vaccine as early as i could get it so i could talk to people about it. the experience of the day was talking to a nurse who dropped the words 'herd immunity' on me and it hit me that they mean something different now. it's no longer the language of the people who think the elderly and infirm should've just tried being more lucky.
