He went to Singapore with covid. Virus detection doesn’t typically occur until around 48 hours after contraction.

Came here to say that. I guess they have no testing requirements to enter?

oh I agree. especially since his wife has been posting about how their kids are sick too. she does say they've tested negative but......
FWIW, they are as vaxed as possible and very mask conscientious.

It's also possible he tested negative when entering the country.

a buddy of mine works for Microsoft and just had his first international trip in over 2 years. he was in Singapore exactly 24 hours before he tested positive. he's now stuck in Singapore, confined to his hotel room and availing himself of their version of Uber Eats.
Honestly............ I mean....... look, there are way worse places in the world be stuck in a hotel room with people bringing you local food. I'm just saying, make some f**king lemonade, guy.

We've returned to "high" covid community levels here in Centre County... I think that just means they suggest you wear a mask in public places, right?

Updated data for our county should be coming between 9am-noon today, so I'm interested to see how things have changed. I have to assume numbers will be going up, unfortunately.

Dang it. Where I live is low, but where I work is medium (again). Probably that big bike rally last week, huh? :lol: Memorial Day, and another big bike rally should crank that up to high very soon.

It's supposed to peak right around when we leave for vacation, so that's really helping my wife de-stress right now with everything going on.

Looks like Allegheny County is "high" transmission. I don't think anything will change though.

What can you change? Mandatory masking at this point would be silly.

Yeah I don't disagree. I just meant behaviorally.

If numbers started to really skyrocket, I’d use that data to go back to wearing a mask in stores. So I still appreciate it being reported.

My daughter gets herself so worked up before going to the doctor that she ends up getting sick. Got her booster shot, then proceeded to throw up on the floor a minute later.

Depends. Some are proctored for travel purposes and those likely are, but I didn’t report my home tests at all when I was positive and never went for an “official” test.

Alleghany County back at high spread rates, masks required in our office. (I'm fully remote but many are hybrid in office 1-2x per week)

COVID bit the Bear family as soon as we got back from Indy. In all honesty, Mrs Bear probably had it before but wrote it off as allergies. So the two of us have tried to stay confined to our room while our three children have the run of the house.
Other than the kids losing their minds out of boredom, things are going pretty well. For me day 1 was identical to butt whipping the booster gave me, and now it’s just a really bad head cold.

I'm gonna go there - is it even worth getting another booster at this point if it pretty much equates to the booster side effects now?

It was two miserable days for me and 4-5 days of lingering symptoms (cough and easily winded). Also, low points were pretty bad (101.4 fever and some really bad chills).

Guess just saying, I will still get a booster

If they open boosters up to everyone, sure, I’m on board. I had no symptoms with my 2nd shot or booster, just the initial shot.
