So a bad cold ruined my 3 day weekend

I'm still not feeling great today. In an abundance of caution, even though I've been vaccinated, I made an appointment for a COVID-19 test today. I went into work. I have my own office.

The boss and his wife come in. She asks me how was my weekend. I told I got a lousy cold and I'm still getting over it.

She and my boss will not get the vaccine, even though my boss is high risk, because:

1) COVID-19 is no worse than the flu and the case numbers are being exaggerated to make Trump look bad.

2) God already knows how and when everyone is going to die.

3) YOU CAN'T LIVE IN FEAR!!!!

Granted, they wear seat belts and probably look both ways before crossing the street, and they have a house full of GUNZ!!!

They also take Vitamin D and zinc, as well as Ivermectin and Hydroxychloriquine prescribed to them by Dr. Stella Immanuel who:

"Is also the founder of a charismatic religious organization called Fire Power Ministries; in her role as its founder, she has made fringe claims about other medical conditions, especially in relation to human sexuality. She has said endometriosis, infertility, miscarriages, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are caused by spirit spouses, and has also endorsed a number of conspiracy theories that include the involvement of space aliens and the Illuminati in manipulating society and government."

And boss's wife had the GALL to tell me I should get tested for COVID-19. Well, I beat her to it. I already had an appointment.

I need to look for another job.

Is what I hear from all the local rubes ad nauseum.

I always counter “You can’t live in fear” with “You can’t die in stupidity.”

Hope you’re feeling better soon.
