Heads up: Positive Covid Test
Posted by Chandra on January 6, 2022, 12:32 pm
I woke up this morning and wasn’t feeling a hundred percent. Went to the Melaque lab, and got back a positive Covid test. Yikees. I am double vaxxed. I’ll be keeping close to home for five days as per the Jan 5 2022 BCCDC recommendation for fully vaxxed people. So, unfortunately, Covid is officially in the village. Take care of yourselves and one another! Chandra

Thanks so much for posting as am sure there are more do to the volume of folks here over the holidays! And many locals are still waiting to get their second vax with boosters coming soon to residents 60 and older! I hope you recover quickly and if you need anything do not hesitate to call! | -------------------Re: Heads up: Positive Covid Test

Thanks so much for your notification. So many people have been a bit secretive about their infections, which just increases the problem. Thanks for being open and helpful! | -------------------Re: Heads up: Positive Covid Test

Thanks for sharing Chandra. Would you mind sharing which vaccine and the dates you were inoculated? | -------------------Re: Heads up: Positive Covid Test

Hi, Chandra, thank you for this post. We arrived on January 4 and are staying in town. Might we have been exposed to you in one of the shops on Calle Playa Blanca? We, too, are vaccinated and boostered but are over 70 so try to be extra careful. | -------------------Re: Heads up: Positive Covid Test

Hi Sara, Chandra is vaxxed and is sharing her positive status. She stated that she will be isolating, just how much more careful can she be? Maybe its you who should be extra careful due to your age group, and if that is the case what the hell are you doing traveling in a pandemic? | -------------------Re: Heads up: Positive Covid Test

So sorry for the confusing grammar! Of course I meant WE try to be extra careful; never intended a rebuke to Chandra. Only wanted to know if perchance we had been exposed. | -------------------Re: Heads up: Positive Covid Test
Posted by Daniel H on January 7, 2022, 3:39 pm, in reply to "Re: Heads up: Positive Covid Test"
Thanks for the clarification Sarah. Part of the frustration I was expressing comes from people acting surprised when someone test positive. So if it is true that you did come into contact with Chandra (as many people did) what are you going to do, self isolate for 5 days or more? And what about all the other people she contacted? See my point? Not only are the cat's out of the bag, the cat's were never in the bag to begin with. I don't know how often Chandra goes out of town but she most likely got the virus here in La Manz. I would say its a good bet that there are at least 30 positive cases in La Manz, not to mention the 300 plus positive's people come in contact with traveling to La Manz. This whole tread would not even be on the board if it weren't for Chandra's bravery in posting, We would all be bobbling along in our little bubble of seeming fortune of being in a place as immune to the rest of the world as La Manzanilla. | -------------------Re: Heads up: Positive Covid Test

Whoa - so sorry for my confusing grammar! I left out the pronoun “we.” Never meant to chide Chandra or anyone else. Was merely curious if ours paths had crossed at some point recently, as in contact tracing. | -------------------Re: Heads up: Positive Covid Test

"....what the hell are you doing traveling in a pandemic?" That is a great question. | -------------------Why travel during a pandemic
Posted by Daniel H on January 9, 2022, 12:51 pm, in reply to "Re: Heads up: Positive Covid Test"
I think we have been here so long we forget what its like when it gets below 70. If I were in snow I would walk to La Manzanilla if I had to Pandemic ?

Daniel, the people Sarah was referring to in her post about being extra careful were she and her husband, not Chandra. You seem to be a bit testy lately. Do you need anything? | -------------------Re: Daniel!

"so try to be extra careful" is not the same as "we are trying to be extra careful" "You seem to be a bit testy lately". Only lately? I must be slipping. "Do you need anything?" Food is always welcome, if you don't have enough of that to share then I can always use more Tequila. Thanks for asking. | -------------------Re: Heads up: Positive Covid Test

Daniel you are asking this why? If I had the same vaccinations on a near date would that make me more vulnerable? Try not to stir the pot …puleeeze | -------------------Re: Heads up: Positive Covid Test

It seems I am not the only one in the village with active Covid. Here’s what came my way yesterday : “... because of the increase in Delegado confirmed Covid cases (which has resulted in the cancellation of the Roscas de Reyes children’s party tonight)...” At this point I don’t feel horrible, mainly achy and tired. My symptoms were never bad (slight headache, slight fever, sore throat), but decided to get a test to be socially responsible. I was surprised that I tested positive. 🙃 Hopefully this is the highly contagious Omicron variant that is going around, and hopefully it will wipe out all the other virulent variants and turn this pandemic into an endemic. That is my hope and prayer... 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🙏🙏🙏🙏🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 Take care of yourselves and one another. 🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆 PS... apparently the antigen test ( not valid for flying) is better than the PCR test to determine if you are still contagious. You might want to check on that...

Since Canada requires a PCR test for airline passengers but the US requires only an antigen test, it's good to know (as an American) that the much cheaper and faster test might actually be better. | -------------------Re: Heads up: Positive Covid Test

Thank you, Chandra. Maybe it is just a matter of circumstance when the rest of us will get it. I am glad your symptoms are not severe.

It would not be surprising if half the people on this thread have already had covid and didn’t know it. | ------------------- |
