    My workplace just went back to masking because it’s already kicking off to be a banger of a respiratory illness season. I’ll use whatever I can to remind people it’s not just about your comfort.

      Be sure to get the new booster. I delayed getting it by a week and tested positive Saturday morning. Sinus + Upper Respiratory infection has been a fun thing to experience lmao.

      Worst part so far was last night when I couldn’t tell I was eating expired kimchi until I took a closer look. Lack of smell or taste can be tricky lol.

        I did the same thing when I last had covid, ate a salad which was expired by 10 days…

        I was going to get the booster last weekend but tested positive Friday. D: seems to be a fairly mild case, just an extremely terrible sore throat, and I’m doing Paxlovid - I’d call the taste similar to orange juice + toothpaste.

        I mean I couldn’t really tell you whether kimchi is expired, covid or no.

          You can tell when there are black marks across all the kimchi that weren’t there a week ago.

          Still going to go buy a new jar whenever I test negative. I’ve been craving it badly.

      Yep. My work just went work from home for all non essential personnel for the foreseeable future because a few covid cases in my office.

      I’m so glad my last two jobs have been fully remote. I can’t imagine working in an office again and I’m grateful I don’t have to. Most of my friends are still working remotely too which is kinda cool.
