I don’t know if all families are like mine - but Christmas is like 10x more potential super-spreader events than Thanksgiving, more people traveling, more people together in general. It’s just mindboggling to imagine what the bump from that will look like.
I may get stranded in Costa Rica when they shut down all non-essential air travel or something. And I’m ok with that.
She lands on the 12th. I’m going from the 20th to the 30th. This is the least pumped I’ve ever been for a vacation. :( But if I bail I’ll never know if something long term could have happened with this girl.
I’ve mentioned here before that there does seem to be a disparity between how virulent this thing is and how (relatively) few people seem to have been pozzed. What exactly is going on is very complicated and I think it’s not super responsible for Nate to make these conclusions about natural immunity.
I’m so bummed out these days I barely even look at porn. This is 100% about maybe something happening with this girl and us staying travel buddies at least. Traveling with a girl is like night and day vs. traveling by yourself. You meet tons more people - including lots of couples.
When you’re by yourself everyone is worried you’re a sex tourist or a serial killer. They know you’re probably fine. But there’s just that little bit of doubt so that they’re not going to risk hanging out except in a public place for a limited time. I can always feel the vibe.
Well everyone in my house ended up getting COVID but it seems we’ll all be fine. I’d say we got extremely lucky that we only had one and a half days of bad symptoms and then mostly just loss of appetite.
As for the source - my kid’s daycare for sure and unfortunately it’s a risk we had to take. He got sick first on Thanksgiving and we got hit on Saturday.
