I have a very snotty nose and a cough, could this be Rona?

I didn't get the vaccine because I don't want to be a Guinea pig and also I [i]might[/i] want children one day so I decided not to risk it.

Anyway I'm tall and slim so if it is the virus I should be okay but it's a shame to miss work when I just started.

Who told you this birth defect stuff? I've been hearing it more lately. It isn't true. If you have coronavirus you could die. The delta variant is dangerous and extremely contagious.

@Doomflower how on earth can you be sure of that. In 5he 60s there was a medication meant to ease pregnancy symptoms and it ended up making all the babies be born with stunted arms and legs. Medical science isn't all its cracked up to be sometimes.

@IndigoSavage yeah except that we have been vaccinating pregnant people for almost a year and their kids are fine. We aren't seeing birth defects rise like we would if there were a link.

Medical science is the reason the pandemic slowed. It's the reason polio isn't still a big deal.

I hope you are OK but I also hope you get sick enough to learn a lesson.

@IndigoSavage I will remind you viruses can cause birth defects as well. Remember Zika? Babies being born with freakish little heads.
