Title: My niece has been exposed to COVID.

My niece has been exposed to COVID.
She works for a rural newspaper. She’s a proud Democrat and doubly vaxxed and boosted. But she’s obese and I’m worried.

Their office has been very strict about masking, etc., but another employee’s husband contracted it and it is spreading through the office. She has thus far tested negative, but other coworkers are now testing positive. I believe all of the employees who are able to be vaxxed are vaxxed. There is one sports writer who may not have been able to get the vaccine because of health issues.

The rural area is a Trump haven with most not vaccinated and claiming QAnon crap. The newspaper owner is an exception and he has tried to keep his staff safe.

May I get some good vibes, please, for my niece and her coworkers? Thank you so much.

Not so much as far as I can tell. Unless the niece goes thru life in a hazmat suit there is a good chance she has been "exposed" to covid since it first stated to spread.

Guess what DUmbass. The vast majority of Americans, including yourself, have probably been exposed to the Kung Flu without knowing it with no ill effects.

IKR? And she didn't even thank Trump for the vaccine with which the niece had been vaccinated and boostered, the ingrate! :rotf:

For any DU onlurkers, here's a few clues:

* Vaccinated people can still get the virus. That is not uniquely true of the SARS-Cov-2 virus;

* Recovered people can still get the virus. That is not uniquely true of the SARS-Cov-2 virus;

* The death rate of Omicron is wa-a-a-aaayyy less than for Delta, which was way less than whatever was circulating a year ago;

* Nothing in life is "safe", including getting out of bed in the morning (or afternoon).

Were these DUmmies so worked up about the annual cases of flu that claimed thousands of lives in the decades before china gifted the world with covid?

Someone who had DUmmieLand access and the time to root around using their search function would probably find multiple thread from January and February 2020 in which DUmmies were howling that Trump was exaggerating what came to be called Covid-19 for racist and xenophobic purposes.

Tell her that you love her and get a priest in to give her the last rites--that's about all you can do.

So you didn't worry about her poor health choices until some MAGAT supposedly exposed her to he Kung Flu?

Oh for God's sake.  That warranted an entire DU thread?  WHO GIVES A SHIT?

Wow! 46 replies to a thread about personal stuff. Maybe DUmmies have cut off friends and relatives for political heresy to such an extent that fellow DUmmies are their only friends with whom they can talk of such stuff.

In lieu of good thoughts and vibrations and such I think it a good idea that we all send the niece a years supply of Whoppers and Big Macs with extra special sauce!

That probably would exceed my annual salary.

Then your niece is as good as dead now, isn't she? It always happens to the sole voice of reason in a darkened land. And then she'll be body shamed and misgendered.

But it is her own fault. Had she stayed in a Lefty hell hole city she would be just fine.

Silence can be eloquent. hj says little about the chain of contact. Had there been a Trump-Humping anti-vaxxer in that chain of contact, hj would have been sure to make a huge point of it. Cricket ... Cricket ... Cricket ... Cricket ...
