Had a person inform us that their daughter, who lives at home, tested positive, today. Luckily I did not have to go into the department they worked in to get them outfitted to work from home. The person got tested this evening. I do not know the results, but they are quarantined for the time being. If they do test positive, it will be their 3rd time.

We also had a person test positive over the holiday.  

At this rate, I will be the only one here by the end of the week. ?

With the holidays, weren't we expecting the numbers to hit their peak at some point within the next week or so?

IHME Covid model has peak on 1/31. Maybe holiday gatherings make it peak faster.

That's what I'm expecting.  I guess we will know soon.

My co-workers and I all seem to have a cough of some kind. I tested negative.  I find it interesting the the quarantine time for asymptomatic positive health care workers is now 5 days.  So arbitrary!

I've had that annoying cough for 4-5 weeks.  Negative COVID-19 test.  Just feel tired.  No other symptoms.  They doubled my reflux medicine and it hasn't helped.  Nobody has a clue to help me with it.  CT scan clean.  No pneumonia.

Hope you get to feeling better, Pete.

We have six coworkers out from our hospital unit which is more than we have ever had and all were fully vaccinated and received boosters.  Fortunately, none are very sick. So far so good for me.  We healthy ones are making bank in Covid extra shift pay.  Hope I survive long enough to go to Florida next week.

Hopefully natural immunity expands greatly across the globe.

I'm currently feeling sick.  Headache, congestion, cough, sore throat, borderline fever, and stomach is a bit queasy.  Started Thursday evening and got a lot worse yesterday evening, and today I was so tired a barely got out of bed for more than 5 minutes most of the day.  Took a test and it was negative.  If I still feel bad tomorrow, I'll try to take another test.  Seems like it's a crapshoot.  Healthy people test positive and vice versa.   

I wonder if you had the flu. Hope you're feeling much better now!
