Last night she was coughing in a manner my asleep brain read as “gross”, so unconsciously noped the fuck out of there and slept on the sofa. I can’t believe my non-awake brain got it.

She tested positive a few hours ago, so now I just have 7 days to worry. I probably have it, I feel a bit off already.

I know that it’s more than most people, but she was wearing low quality masks, going to a non-safe dentist at peak times, and avoiding the booster. I’ve been nicely pushing her for years, and she brings this shit home. She’s also sorry, and I say it’s fine because I want her to feel better and recover, but secretly I’m fucking raging.

Sorry to rant. Better on Hexbear than out loud.

    If it’s been 4 years and this is the first time they’ve caught it, they’ve been taking it more seriously than 99.99% of people. He’s lucky to have a girlfriend who’s still aware that covid even exists.

      Sure, and it’s also reasonable to be upset that they won’t wear proper n95s and are setting non-emergency dental appointments during expected covid peaks instead of lulls. It’s especially reasonable to be upset that they won’t get a booster that lowers the likelihood they’ll become infectious
