I've been sick since Tuesday and getting sicker every day. Last night I sweated through my bedsheets and had to change them at 2 a.m. I work in construction where they always come to work sick and the owners don't believe in taking time off for illness. I have been coughing, sneezing, and taking my inhaler all day. I also have a splitting headache so I decided to take a home COVID test and it was positive. So was the second test. This just happened like two hours ago.
I informed my coworkers and they laughed. “Covid is not a big deal anymore.” I am wearing a mask and they keep making fun of me for it.
I luckily am able to take tomorrow off and use Fri, Sat, and Sun to recover. I am just shocked that they don't give two fucks.
What about their loved ones or immunocompromised family and friends????
I hate this country (USA) so much.
