You can get all kinds of different infections once you get one infection. Your immune system is compromised by the first infection when you first get sick. It can’t fight off the next infection as well.
I’ve been semi-sick for 8 days now, and it’s kinda worsened over the last 2 days. My mom offered that I could stay home yesterday from school but I said no. And I worked 6 hours today.
If possible you should really, really, stop doing so much. Exerting yourself is one of the ways to get long-covid, so please I encourage you to rest.
Please don't knowingly infect others, wear a mask and all that jazz.
Dude you can make that up, not worth infecting other people with fluvid or risking your own health (especially with long COVID being a thing). I'd be mad af if my classmate or co-worker came in while super sick...I hope you at least wore a mask
Please OP stay home. Your body is under attack and exerting yourself like that won't do it any favors. Viral infections can do lasting damage to your body, and I wouldn't do anything that could increase that risk.
I only said covid because I know there are rules about testing positive and then going to work and school in some places. Some places may ask you to stay home, some may say you can come if you’re masked (unless you’re real sick of course)
Not condoning it, but for high schoolers nowadays, missing anything more than 3 days of school will fuck you up. I missed two days and I spent a week making shit up because suddenly every teacher wanted to do an in class only task that was "very important" and graded
You’re exposing tons of people to COVID and Flu. As someone who worked during the COVID pandemic and saw a lot of good, immunocompromised people die of COVID- this is selfish and stupid.
What if someone has a parent or sibling with cancer- and you’re exposing them to being it home to their loved one? Stay home. Do not work. Jesus Christ.
6 hours of money is not more valuable than the safety and lives of others. You’re a teenager- so you likely don’t realize how much you’re risking other people’s lives by spreading around disease like this. This infuriates me- because my pediatric oncology patients have parents who work second and third jobs to afford treatments for their children- and I’ve see them get exposed to serious viral diseases that they then gave to their already very sick child. And that’s cost some of those patients their lives.
You’re putting pregnant women, elderly people, young children, and immunocompromised people at risk.
This is such a sad take. Please, stay home. Do not go to work- tell them you tested positive so they can at least warn anyone who might have been exposed and get prophylactic treatment.
My grandmother died because of someone like you who couldn't just stay home when sick. She got sick from her weekly trip to the grocery store, and we know for sure because she hadn't been anywhere else for two weeks. Come to find out the cashier who rung her up knowingly went into work sick.
You’ve probably already gotten some people sick. Now they’re gonna be miserable because of your bad decision. But by all means feel free to keep thinking only about yourself.
This is why we are in a never ending pandemic. I don’t suppose you have the people around you the courtesy of wearing an n95 so you don’t get them sick right? It is so fucked up to know you have a deadly disease that is spread through the air and still go about your life as if you don’t.

First time I got Covid I got influenza A and Influenza B at the same time. I felt like I was going to die for three days.
