With inflation making everything way more expensive and rent and gas prices being crazy, missing more than a couple days of work is tough for a lot of people.

Yeah, if I've learned anything the last 2 years that’s unlikely to be what happens.

As long as the grim reaper (kingkoopa) doesn't make a thread about it we're good.

guys i think i’m sick 
got the chills. Got an international cruise coming up in two weeks. Haven’t been even remotely sick in over 3 years. Took the covid test this morning and was negative. Hopefully this plays itself out quickly.

Saw that monkeypox stuff on the news. Nasty AF. Reporter said there's an updated smallpox vaccine that also gives immunity for monkeypox. Wonder if I should try to get it now.

Dude lingering coughs suck.
Feels like your lungs are about to pop out
Longest lingering Cough I’ve had was about 2 months. Thankfully it was before covid but it sucked.

IIRC, they stopped vaccinating for smallpox a long time ago. I'd definitely get one if it's available.

If I don’t show up to work my co workers are working 18 hours to cover my stuff I had to do.
Not everyone works in an office and nobody else at the company can do my job.

I have a dentist appointment 2 days after Memorial. I'm thinking of canceling. Not sure if it's worth the risk to be in a room maskless with my mouth open for an hour a few days after millions of gatherings will take place.

Update on my wife and I:
Conditions have improved and finally feel back to 'normal' today. Congestion is less and no longer have a constant runny nose...but my taste and smells comes and goes. Had zero appetite to eat anything this weekend.

Do what you feel safe, bro. Push it out two weeks if its just a routine checkup.

I would push it a month or so and reevaluate.

Man that's the thing, it might be worse 2 weeks out. I'm going to see if they can fit me in this week if there are any cancellations

No matter what you decide, get the first appointment of the day so there’s less virus floating around. Ask if they’re running hepa filters in exam rooms and all hygienists will be masked.
