You can only vote on one answer.

Being sick is just your body's way of saying that you're too awesome, and that you need to slow down, so that others can catch up.

Going on #2. Hope it stays that way. Smh.

It is winter here.
Got flu on Wed.

(In a office of 150 ppl on same level, very easy to get sick)

Resting now.

Get well soon.
Take care.

Umile · 41-45, F

@scorpiolovedeep Dayyumn. 150. I guess we're like under 50 in my department. Can still be crazy, but we all don't work the same days. Guess I have to trwat each day like covid. Mask and all.

I had COVID in 2021, nothing since, but I do have chronic fatigue which is not considered illness.

Umile · 41-45, F

@Wiseacre Chronic fatigue? There's really such a condition? I would think that Chronic fatigue might stem from other problems.

About twice and it always seems to be either a mild cold or something weird.

Adogslife · 61-69, M

I almost never get sick. This year though, I got Influenza A at work in January and Covid on vacation in July. The influenza was definitely worse, but I was able to workout every day - so no big deal.

Umile · 41-45, F

@Adogslife A very strong immune system. Same here. In january then july. I need a new lifestyle.

James1956 · 61-69, M

Hardly ever

Umile · 41-45, F

@James1956 Lucky.

supersnipe · 61-69, M

I might get a cold or a stomach upset once a year or so. I had Covid once. I think my knees are starting to wear out but that's not really 'getting sick', that's more 'getting old'.

Umile · 41-45, F

@supersnipe True. All part of getting old.

craig7 · 70-79, M

Maybe a cold,every year or two.I've never spent any time at all in a hospital,in my 76 years.

Umile · 41-45, F

@craig7 what the heck ?

Well, I guess it's possible.

Kudos to you.

Health is wealth.

craig7 · 70-79, M

@Umile Yes it's certainly possible,as I'm in that happy position - people are always amazed when I mention it,but obviously there has to be a lot of luck there as well.

@fun4us2b For reals. I think I'm just gonna start wearing my mask 24/7. No other way. I've done how many things to make it less. Smh. Treat everything abd everyone like Covid again I guess.b

fun4us2b · M

@Umile Sad but true - people have gone right back to being inconsiderate when they're sick...

Umile · 41-45, F

@fun4us2b I try to excuse them, cause theyre sick.

But, shoot, call out if you're sick or distance yourself and be considerate when you cough.

It's usually why I get sick.

Rarely is it family though.

I distance myself like crazy at home when I'm sick.

I never want it to spread.
