I had to take a COVID test last month because I work in health care and woke up with a sore throat one morning. Sore throat was gone by mid day but had to isolate until I got test results back (test was the next day then another 2 days to get results). Was super lame.

I think my mom's a bit sad. The kids are moved out and she's trying to plan a Christmas gathering cause she misses her children. It hurt me to reluctantly tell her no, not this year.
I'm just going to stay home for the holidays and spend it with my wife (just the 2 of us).
Sometimes I wonder why the fuck do I try so hard when so many others don't seem to give a shit.

Oxygen saturation was good, got lung x-ray too and the doctor said my lungs looked ok just a little puffed up but he said its typical. I haven't gotten my lung tested again since so I don't know.
My first couple of days back to work was rough, dumber than usual, forgot stuff and my mind was just blank, got dizzy and winded easily but all good now, I'd say 90% back to how I was.

This is literally year one of 35 without spending it with my grandparents. It's not worth the risk. I'll gamble losing one year with them in hopes of gaining 5 or more.

Considering how many people rarely (if ever) get to spend Christmas with family members due to distance missing one myself isn't the end of the world. You could always do delayed Christmas in the summer or something when the numbers should be doing a bit better.
Of course then there's 2 of my coworkers who went down to the US to spend Christmas with their in-laws. I thought the border was supposed to be closed but apparently not.

They said just rest, drink plenty of water and take tylenol for fever

FYI. The BC Recovery Benefit online application was "supposed" to be up and running on the government website as of today.
-was filling out step 5 of the application. Then this error message pops up after I submit my info.  500 Internal Server Error
Government websites suck!

Applications open until June 30th but everyone wants that Christmas bonus asap.
I wonder how much fraud there will be on this hand out.

i.e. big bad bank sees this as an increased risk/liability on your file

However, this is entirely different than CERB.

Banks put a message on your account that you received cerb or if you deferred your loans. So they will dig more if you apply for anything in the future.
