  1. Half my place is inpatient rehab. The other half is a nusing home. A lot of this took place in March and April in my area.
  2. My forecasted high 2 days ago for today was 59. Yesterday the forecast for today was 62. It's 65 currently.
  3. Considering all the death I've seen and having coworkers vented, it was a moderate case.
  4. My first symptom was a sore throat. The next day I had chills and was sweating. That night I started sneezing a lot which isn't common. The 3rd day I had a low grade fever. By day 4 my fever was gone and I felt like I had a nasty cold; headache, congestion, wet cough (not dry) and started getting fatigued quickly. Day 5, I was finally able to get a covid swab (this was in March when it wasn't easy to get a test even as a healthcare worker) and I completely lost my sense of smell and taste. On day 6 I could barely get out of bed and became short of breath with any activity. Day 7 my test came back positive. The same symptoms continued and on day 9 I started feeling a squeezing in my chest and my o2 saturation was around "90%". I clearly had pneumonia. Day 10, I started getting very sharp pains in my chest where my heart is located. This symptom was constant for 3 more weeks and still hasn't completely gone away. I was fatigued for 40+ days. This virus is scary af and I didn't even have a severe case. **Oh and my sense of smell and taste came back after 6 weeks. **I started feeling better between days 20-22 but wasn't close to 100% (besides the chest pain I still feel sometimes) for 2 months.
  5. Holy crap. It's 29 here already. Coldest of the year.
  6. Squall line just went through Toronto. It would seem like that doesn't happen often in November.
  7. It's nearly impossible. NYS is testing us once a week. They were testing twice a week for a while but the cost was enormous. They are not testing hospital workers at all from what I know. Staff are the ones spreading it in nursing homes. As long as the nursing home workers aren't isolating after work it will continue to spread in these facilities. It's a terrible situation. It's very hard to stop the spread because the ventilation is awful, residents need to take their masks off to eat and it's impossible to keep a mask on someone with severe dementia.
  8. I initially put you in there but I figured you'd post it without me asking lol
