So I Had COVID-19
5 years ago
Hey there!
I know I’ve received a few comments and notes on here inquiring about commissions/YCH but I wanted to clear the air. My partner and I unfortunately got COVID, despite our efforts in keeping everything clean and using all kinds of sanitisers and anti-bacterial things, it was given to my partner during his train ride home (annoyingly enough it was his last train ride before prepping to be working from home...) this was a Friday, Saturday he showed symptoms that he was getting more sick, since he was on the back end of a cold already, and by Sunday he was bad. I fortunately didn’t have work on that Sunday as by the night I began feeling bad and by Monday we both had the symptoms and were a bit worse for wear.
We’ve isolated completely, just played games to keep ourselves up and made sure to stay well away from family. I’m still feeling groggy mainly because of the pain from the dry cough and lack of air from breathlessness, but nothing as bad as I was in the earlier days.
My manager has been saying awful things about staff that have HAD to self isolate because I work in a pharmaceutical company, but I’d much rather lose my job than potentially kill someone’s grandparents, parents, babies. So my job is up in the air right now, since I was advised to stay in for 14 full days and my manager is set on me only staying in for 7 despite living in a full household >_> so I really need to take on some commissions and YCH to make sure I’m all good.
The way the world is handling this is absolutely awful, and the way a lot of people are just so uncaring is even worse. Please stay safe, I know we were as safe as possible and still got it, but you may have better luck, just keep trying. Stay home if you can, be clean, anything to help those who would suffer more than maybe you would. It’s so easy to pass it on to an older person or a baby who won’t live to see their loved ones without a window between them before the virus takes them away.
Thank you guys, stay safe.
PS
I spoke with the NHS and my doctor, it was a confirmed case but we did not need to be hospitalised since we were capable of taking care of ourselves! I would not want to take up a bed of someone who needs it far more than us.

Its one of those things that a FA will get it...
I've been in lockdown mode, which, honestly, has been a nerd's paradise. O_o.
Yes this world, government, and peoples have really shown the more negative side of it all but same time its shown some of the compassion and love. Try not to be too down.
