Didn't Serbia start WW1?

Yeah some guy named Nikola Jokic shot Archduke LeBron James and the rest was history.

A Serb did...Gavrilo Prencip.

A absolute nobody that is almost singlehandedly responsible for most of the that's happened over the last 110 years.

It is nuts when you delve into how different the world would be now if not for that one dude.

If it wasn’t him, it would have been someone else.

He was a Bosnian Serb, I think?

This was moved to the war and genocide thread?

Anyone else get covid recently?

Got it on the last full day of our trip. Didn't even realize it was coming on hard recently, otherwise probably wouldn't have even got tested.

Drink plenty of fluids. You’ll be fine.

Thanks I've been chugging! Still peeing yellow unfortunately...

It's doing a number on me. Every freakin kind of symptom that just cycle, so 1 medicine helps with the immediate issue, then the next comes up in full force and so on. Can't sleep meanwhile. At least the fever has subsided.

A friend of mine is just getting over it. Hit her hard, 2020 style.

Guess there's a wee resurgence going on? Haven't heard of anyone getting it in a while until now.

 

[BigOrange15]

I'm just now getting over it. I had it back in 2021 and it hit me like a train. This time, I had one day of body aches and now it's pretty much all just sore throat and nasal congestion.

There is no reason to test for covid…. it is treated just like any other cold…. quarantine until 24 hours after a fever… quarantine if symptoms are bad/getting worse.

Yep
If you don’t feel good stay home
If you Have to work then work
I tend to avoid people with stomach bugs and ask them to stay home but that’s just me

It's all over around here. Experience seems to vary by person.

Me and the wife both got it in November 2020...she has had it twice since then, buy I have never had it again despite being around her those two times she has had it, and driving several clients around that ended up having it.

I reckon I have immunity to it...apparently so does my son, he had it once back in the beginning and then never again despite his wife and other people around him having it multiple times over the last few years

On the other hand my middle daughter who is a nurse has had it 5 times and baby girl has had it 3 times.

It's a weird deal.

Wife has it. Stuck her on the other side of the house. Kids and me living symptom free for now.

My daughter had it a few weeks ago. Ran fever for 4 days. It was a bad flu with body aches and exhaustion. Doctor tested and it was Covid.

There is for work purposes.

Also just got back from a wedding with older folks and wanted to notify. I also wouldn't quarantine if I just had a cold.

Just how I handle things. To each their own

I have it now, definitely going around. Good news is I am on Day 3 and already feeling better. Was just a sore throat, runny nose and some GI issues.

I think rates are higher now than they've been ever.

Seems really hard to know atm. At least from online sources it seems a lot of states stopped reporting. Wolrdometer thus stopped too.

And like some alluded to earlier, some folks just won't get tested at all atp.

My wife is a pharmacist. She says it’s been going around bigly for about a month. Can’t keep tests and Paxlovid on the shelf.

You're just made that the winnings aren't shared between everyone in the community

Even I laughed at this one.

I'm righteously broke. 0 government assistance over here. Would be nice to spend your money though.

My mother makes fun of the SNAP program. She says its ass backwards the state should help the ones trying to make ends meet but they reward the ones who don't do ****.
