Just learned I may have been exposed to COVID-19 at work. Afternoon and weekend plans now blown up, and I'm awaiting rapid test results right now.

Wear a mask. Wear a fucking mask. I don't give a fuck about your feelings or your theories or what your dumbass cousin sent you on Facebook. I DO care about your freedom, but y'know what? I care about MY freedom too, and my freedom is currently greatly curtailed because of all of you dumbasses out there who don't want to wear a mask.

Wear a mask. Make it a confederate flag mask or a swastika mask or a "Down with tyranny!" mask. I don't care. Just wear. A. Fucking. Mask.

So fucking aggravated right now.

I wish they hadn't published that, actually. Wearing 4 masks sounds ridiculous, and that's the sort of thing anti-maskers point to when they argue against masks.

I'm not gonna worry about getting someone to switch from 2 masks to 4. My focus is on getting people to switch from 0 to 1.

I've been double masked since Thanksgiving. Do whatever it takes to make sure my vacation didn't get fucked over. Well it was splendid, and 2 feels comfy and snug.

So I'm waiting at the shop and some rat-licking pandemic enthusiasts come in with masks barely covering their chins so they can mouth-breathe all up in my space. Without a word I picked up my shit and walked out. Fuck people right now.

Good luck Novus, hoping the best for you.

This exact situation is exactly why I've been masked since April. Good chance I was already positive yesterday and had no idea. I worked both of my jobs yesterday, paid for gas at a convenience store, and got drive-thru dinner, and was at my day job this morning. If I hadn't been wearing a mask, I could have potentially have infected a dozen people or so with no idea. I don't feel sick at all, but I'm contagious.

But I wear a mask. The people I've been in contact with were safe from me. Even my wife tested negative earlier today.

Wear a mask, stop the spread.

And to anyone who's like, "You got sick anyway, masks are worthless" -- that's not why you wear a mask!!! Masks help a little to keep you safe, but the main thing they do is keep OTHER people safe from YOU. My co-worker didn't wear a mask, and he got me infected. I DO wear a mask, and that prevented me from spreading it to anyone else.

THAT is why you wear a mask.

Best advice if possible!
Ive been trying to do that for decades, just in case stupid is contagious. It’s very difficult.

Wishing you well, Novus!!

Thanks for the well-wishers, everyone!

Weird neurological symptom #1: about 10 minutes of "seeing" ghostly, translucent letters and gibberish words while I was laying in the dark after waking up from a dream early this morning. That really confused me... thought I was still dreaming, realized I wasn't, and then remembered that the Rona causes weird shit like that sometimes.

Other than that, still fine for now. Bored as fuck. Throat is a bit sore... I've had worse, but it's early. No cough, no fever. A bit achy from having to sleep by myself on a craptacular spare mattress. My gut tells me it'll get worse for a day or two and then I'll be fine. Main concern is I just do not want to spread this shit to my wife and kids.
