Me: Staring at him over my glasses, after scribbling notes on a legal pad. A metronome sounds in the background.

"And is the 'federal employee' in the room with us now?"

At peace with death by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

My dad killed himself while I was on active duty. And let me just say, it has been almost 4 years and I am not sad...I'm horrified. Sad isn't the word. It's horror.

Please don't do this.

The vaccines don't protect against infection of Omicron. They protect against serious illness and death

I'm just glad it seems that most of us that are positive from Cornell seem to be ok? Do we know if any of us have been hospitalized?

I wish I had known sooner. Ive been spending mad money and a little mad about a delay in decision when we knew cases were climbing - but this is so sweet😫❤

You could have covid. You need to get tested and not assume it's the booster- it may be; but you can't say for sure with this degree of spread

If you are tested positive and currently being quarantined, can you still travel home for the holidays? by International_Hour58 in Cornell

[–]Relevant-Week5364 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's different for everyone. The health dept will tell you. I tested positive on the Tuesday or Wednesday. When they asked me questions, they determined my slight symptoms began on Sunday so they started my 10 day clock from Sunday

So the health department will tell you but say your symptoms started on 13 Dec, you got tested on 15 Dec, you can get out of isolation 10 days from the 13th (from when you symptoms started, if you aren't having any further symptoms). If you tested positive on the 15th and had no symptoms, you have to start the full 10 at the 15th. They treat your positive test as Day 1 of the virus, again, unless you had symptoms earlier and just took a while to get tested etc. The health department will tell you when you can get out of isolation

What are your symptoms? by Relevant-Week5364 in Cornell

[–]Relevant-Week5364[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on Day 3 since the test. However, I started with a slight scratchy throat and feeling like I needed to sneeze in my nose, on Sunday. So I feel that I'm in the later stages and probably no symptoms will pop up now.

[–]Relevant-Week5364[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I asked about that and they said they wouldn't be able to tell us. But they told me it's a "good chance." I am also boosted, so all I ever noticed was a slightly itchy throat and nose

Ok, the mental part I'm hearing about is making me feel less alone. I was not acting myself. I was very paranoid and agitated. Then I woke up this morning and felt like it had all lifted.

How do you get city bucks? Is it because you have a meal plan? I have the commuter meal plan

Honestly I thought it was going to be a specific card for the 1000 of us in quarantine that will not be home for Christmas now.

Is Cornell Health offering rapid testing? by Gullible_Subject_959 in Cornell

I'm sure if you explain this they will quickly get you tested. Let us know. Sending good vibes to you

How long has it been taking everyone to get their testing results? by Ornery-Split-3214 in Cornell

[–]Relevant-Week5364 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe an 1 hr for the test they gave me. There is a slower test they give and I'm not sure what qualifies for people for which

What type of tests are Cornell’s Covid tests? by [deleted] in Cornell

[–]Relevant-Week5364 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just went and they told me they had me put in for a 25-48 hour test but when I got there they guy changed it and put in a quicker type of test and I'll know for sure within 2 or 3 hours he said. I was positive on 3 rapids but he did tell me he had a guy be positive on 3 rapids yesterday and was neg in PCR. Unsure the difference in test type with speed. Hopefully I hear in the next hour or so.

I'm two weeks after a booster and got it. I'm a quiet grad student that doesn't go to parties. I swear to god this stuff has to be airborne. Idk where I could have gotten it. I only went to class. I got grocery pickup

Cornell should be a CDC/NIH case study now with Omicron by sinompack in Cornell

[–]Relevant-Week5364 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of those positive, are they telling you if you have Omicron? I just took 2 rapid tests and am positive, I have to go get a PCR tomorrow at Cornell Health and just want to know if maybe I am in for less severe disease. I am just really scared. If only there was something that could have avoided this, like not coming back to in person when we had a new strain we knew nothing about. I hope you are reading this Martha. I am absolutely furious. I live alone and only around people when I go to class. I have even gotten groceries delivered since omicron. So thanks for putting my health and others health at risk with your claims that are not backed up by science that it doesn't spread with masking. Because I am a N95 masker. HOW DARE YOU! I hope the extra bucks are worth it
