    travel for thanksgiving is normally up 50% or so from normal. Last year we saw 2.8 million on the busiest day (Sunday after thanksgiving). Travel will still be at half or less during the peak than normal but that’s still an insane amount of travel during a pandemic but the 700-800,000 a day average during a pandemic is absolutely bonkers.

    The bigger difference to me is that it’s different travelers. Less business people who have been flying already and more families/older folks who haven’t been as exposed to the virus yet.

    also more travel from different areas could bring virus back with them to areas that aren’t currently in outbreak.

    How long does covid hypothetically hang around in the air in an empty room? Not on surfaces put in the air if someone had it and was in the room and left and someone else came in.

    Is the flu shot more painful this year? I went to get it yesterday and they said that I needed to wait for 15 minutes to see if it swelled at all. They also said not to do anything extraneous. I have never heard either of those things before. Wasn't sure if this was just a case of a new nurse giving too much info or not. I mowed the yard and cleaned the pool yesterday and my arm hurt like hell all last night and today.

    I mean at least they’re outside and social distanced. Still hope one of them drops the weight on their skulls though.

    When I got it I had a pain in the arm, slight headache, slight body ache. Just kind of felt like I was in a fog for the next day. Went away after a day or two though

    I’ve been given those instructions every year for 2 decades. I will say that my shot this year caused the injection site to swell a little and be “warm” to the touch for about 3 days. That’s the third time that I can remember that happening.

    Doesn't the fact that they are able to workout, outdoors, negate the fact they need a gym open to workout? I am concerned at their end goal here. Is it to show their gains are no where as optimal at the local Lifetime?

    Here’s a scenario - my gf met up with her girlfriend on Sunday and got lunch. My gf came back to my place after said lunch and stayed over until the next morning and left. Her friend tested positive for covid on Monday. Is there any chance I could have gotten covid from my gf in the time we were together?

    I am thinking no but looking for an answer from the well respected brain trust here on TMB.

    one of my direct reports tested positive this morning. THey had been very, very careful and expanded their quaranteam to another friend who told their social circle they had been careful.

    It really sucks that you can't even trust some of your friends to be honest at this point.

    My casual perspective says if the friend who tested positive, passed it to your GF, she probably wasn't infectious Sunday night and Monday morning. However, she may be infectious today without showing any symptoms. From what I understand it takes 24-48 hours to become infectious and start spreading, and it will take 3-4 days to start demonstrating symptoms.

    Obviously, I think some posters on here may have more insight than I do so take this with a grain of salt.

    this is my exact line of thinking as well. My gf tested negative via rapid test yesterday but that’s not much given it was only 24 hours after exposure. I am getting a rapid test tomorrow afternoon.

    It seems the generally accepted timeline is you are contagious 24-48 hours after exposure. Obviously that isn’t 100%.

    Oh don’t mind AZ, just back to ~30% positivity as we enter the festive period. As you might recall, my company had us coming back to the office a few weeks ago. Thankfully, the one-man janitor/maintenance guy has not set up the expanded workspace that would host my department, so I am still work from home. Crossing my fingers that he never does so or execs realize that it’s as bad as it’s ever been and the hospitalizations are trending back to peak levels. Second most cases today, which should push our seven day moving average to the highest level yet.

    ymmv, but my mom passed in august and we chose to wait until the pandemic situation is better/over because of what happens at funerals - lots of hugs, lots of tears, etc.... then throw in bringing a bunch of people together that very likely have different views on the virus, different views on COVID precautions in their every day lives.

    yeah, I'll pass on that

    It absolutely is valid. I don’t believe my gf had it (negative test the week before, negative rapid test yesterday, no symptoms). Meanwhile her friend tested positive yesterday and is currently experiencing a fever.

    I am getting a rapid test tomorrow afternoon. My parents want me to come home Thursday for the day if I’m negative but I’m hesitant to do that regardless of the test results.

    Yeah, no more covid funerals. People are well intentioned, but everybody ends up too close to each other, there’s a lot of tension, and the situation is overall really weird cause you just want to hug and kiss while being stuck in your mask. Plus the boomer who doesn’t mean any harm but wears his mask under his nose.

    rapids aren't reliable if you have no symptoms. your gf should get a PCR test and so should you. but even if you did, you may be getting it too soon to show positive.

    they are both 59, mom is in great health but my dad fought and beat stage 4 lung cancer 4 years ago. He is the one I am most concerned about and why I am hesitant to go regardless of my test result and how I feel as of Thursday. Will most likely have to tell them I am not coming.
