I have a bad soar throat and stuffy nose. Should I stay home from work?

@Bigwill75 what’s that? I can’t miss work but I don’t want to get anybody, especially the kids sick

If you get better by the tome you wake up, then go but if I were you I would stay home. But get tested. No if’s ands or buts GO GET TESTED.

Call in sick, hopefully it's just a cold and not COVID. 🌿
You can get a rapid test done at some CVS.

@Coralmist Ugh fine! But when I’m ready! My friends have been bugging me to go get tested. I hope they don’t have to stick a needle! I’m not doing it!

@ElizabethBabe1994 nope it's just a cotton swab and you swish it gently in your nose...good luck Lizzy🌿

Depends how you feel better when you wake up
otherwise best to call in sick.

Hope you feel better soon 🙏

@Eidolon Yeah never know with Covid and all that but I don’t wanna miss work

@ElizabethBabe1994 It's not just about Covid, if you're unwell - you're unwell.
If you do have many Covid symptoms though - it merits getting tested.

ElizabethBabe1994 · 26-30, F

@Eidolon okay

Teslin · M

Be safe. Do not spread what you may have. Get tested!!

ElizabethBabe1994 · 26-30, F

@Teslin Even my friends has been bugging me to get tested. I don’t have Covid! If I have the symptoms then I will.

Teslin · M

@ElizabethBabe1994 I understand. But, whatever you have, even if it is not Covid, may be contagious. You cannot spread it to the children.

ElizabethBabe1994 · 26-30, F

@Teslin I know. I won’t. OK certain because I care about the kids and everyone else but I go to take care of myself.

You work with children so if you are not feeling well you shouldn’t be going to work. You need to go get tested.
