My dad left work early Friday cause he had a cough and generally wasn't feeling well. Tested positive for the Rona on Saturday despite being vexed. My mom has all the symptoms on Sunday including fever, take her yesterday for a test comes back negative.

Since I was there with her decided to get myself tested rapid came back negative, still waiting on the other test. However today I wake up to go to work and have a pretty good cough and generally do not feel well which sucks because all weekend I felt fine.

So I sit at home and wait now.

That's how it started with me. Then all of a sudden, I was freezing and hot at the same time and felt nauseous for a few hours. Then I had aches for about 2 or 3 days and then I felt fine.

I wish you and your parents a speedy recovery.

Thanks!

That seems to be how it has gone for my parents. My dad seems to be on the mend now but has to take minimum 10 days off unpaid to.

OD said I could work since I had the shot and as long as I was feeling OK. Now that I'm coughing we will see if that changes.

Hopefully everybody starts to feel better soon.

We just got done dealing with something. They've had numerous respiratory illnesses going around the school this year and naturally kids brought it home to us. Kids dealt with it for 3 weeks, wife and I just got done with it after a little over 2 weeks. She took a covid test but came back negative despite all the symptoms including loss of taste and smell. Heck, we even all developed pink eye, and wife and I lost our voice a few days which is becoming common with it now, according to her doctor. The doctor was convinced she had it. We still think she did, hard to trust a test that some medical experts say is incorrect 40% of the time. Ended up not making the trip to Green Bay for grandma's 90th bday surprise party but I'd rather play it safe.

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.

Wishing you & your family a speedy recovery, Bobcat Bob. Tom was quite sick in late September; took a week off (vacay) to play it safe; he wasn't up to driving. I had a 'minor' cold along with him but he was worse. He tested negative, too. I did't get checked; didn't feel as bad as he did.

Feel better soon, y'all!

Hope you and yours get better soon, Bobcat Bob! With the pandemic, it always leaves you wondering what the heck is going on when you feel sick, and the relatively inaccurate rapid tests don't help...

You have Daycab Syndrome.

The only cure is going OTR driving.

OTR:

Over The Road

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

It's December. There are always a million little things going around. COVID is a little thing. It's literally the flu. It's a sub-family of influenza. You're fine as long as you stay away from doctors and hospitals. Stop worrying about all this stupid testing and hand-wringing. Take care of yourselves. Eat right, exercise, think positive thoughts, and have faith in yourself and in God. And again, stay away from hospitals.

Let me throw a few thoughts at you.......the CDC said 94% of the people who died of COVID had co-morbidities, which means only 6% of the people they say died of COVID actually died of COVID. The rest were (criminally) mislabeled.

The creator of the PCR test, the ones we're using, said that up to 95% of all positives are false positives because the cycle threshold is set way too high and they did not design these tests to detect an illness in someone. So 95% of the people they claim had COVID did not, and 94% of those they claim died of it, in fact, did not.

Even with the (criminally) exaggerated numbers they give us, only 2 out of 10,000 people are at risk.

Folks, you're fine. We're all fine. Go about your business. Stay away from hospitals and jabs. Live your lives normally. Stop believing mainstream media and the government! How badly many of you have forgotten the lessons of history.

By the way, for those who think I'm exaggerating, the European Union Chief just said she thinks we should throw out the Nuremberg Code and force-vaccinate everyone. Think about that, please. A government official is telling the people that a document created to protect the people from criminal psychopaths in government should be destroyed.

Also, the head of Germany, Merkel, whose reign is ending, said goodbye with soldiers carrying torches in a torchlight ceremony. Maybe you remember seeing pictures of the Nazi troops doing the same?

So within two days you have renewed lockdowns, a torchlight ceremony by the German military, and a call to destroy the Nuremberg Code by the EU chief, and you guys think the flu is our greatest threat? The virus isn't a threat. The jab is the weapon. Most of our leaders are criminals.

Wake up!
