So I tested positive for covid on 12/29 and I am supposed to get out of isolation 1/8. I know exactly who at our store gave it to me as they were “patient 0” and set it off for about 7 of us in total. They came to work coughing up a lung, kept taking off their mask, and they are unvaccinated. I am beyond frustrated and feel like death still. I am vaccinated, but I am immunocompromised and this virus is taking a heavy ass toll on my body even with my booster. At the same time I feel guilty (???). My coworkers are continually telling me and the others who are out right now how it’s so bad (they’re not doing it in a guilt trip way, more of in a ‘our store manager doesn’t give a shit about us way). I have been laying in bed basucally unable to move for the entirety of my quarantine and my SM keeps texting me asking me if I’m feeling better and if I think I can come back (since CDC announced 5 day quarantine). The thing is, I want to go back because I feel awful for my partners who are there working in this shit show, but i am physically unable to. I get up to go to the kitchen and I need to take a minute to let my body rest. I’m so frustrated, this could have all been avoided if patient 0 went home when we all told her she should, even after we texted our SM stating we didn’t feel comfortable working with her. I gave this virus to my boyfriend (who I moved in with the day before i got tested) and to my mother. My mother is a smoker with heart issues and I just wish I could tell and scream at my SM about how this isn’t fair and that she should have never let that partner work. I just don’t know what else to do other than kay here and be angry because this all could’ve been avoided
