listen you need to understand my vision kristen and kipperlilly need to be rivals (enemies?) with benefits. you KNOW kristen would feel weirdly attracted to any woman she’s supposed to hate. i need kipperlilly to say something that makes kristen need a Hot Tub Moment while the ratgrinders and bad kids are fighting. i need kristen to win the election and then kiss kipperlilly when she goes to make some sort of villainous speech. and kipperlilly swears time and time again that she’s straight she doesn’t like girls but damn if this isn’t the most correct moment in her entire life. they’re both like ugh we hate each other so much that we have to hook up the logic checks out. but then they fall in love and oops! kipperlilly’s plans are foiled and once again lesbianism saves the day!

you know what boils my blood.
over the last 2 weeks, i've seen countless patients walk into my urgent care center, symptomatic for so many things, refusing to get tested for covid and flu, citing that they don't want to knowingly bring it to their holiday tables. i had a patient tell me, verbatim, "i don't want to test for covid, because i don't want to be the asshole who brings it on a plane."
i understand that - i understand that holidays are times where people look forward to meeting loved ones that they might only see once a year, or where they get a break from the hectic back and forth of their lives.
but here's the thing - whether they get tested or not, they will bring whatever they have to their holiday tables. it's pure recklessness to know that you're sick, and walk into someone else's house spreading the disease.
today, january 2, i saw 91 patients, many of them who have tested positive for covid and flu. many of these patients are the same ones who didn't want testing 3 days ago, until their events were over, and now, they will have to reach out to everyone they know to let them know that they were positive because they were showing symptoms well before their event.
the next week or two? we're going to see many, many more, all people with symptoms that started around christmas. these are the only two viruses we test for rapidly in our office, but they are potent and can be fatal in many people.
so here's why i wrote this post, and maybe it's a little late, but - if you care about your loved ones, please get tested if you know you're sick. it doesn't have to be at a clinic if you don't want it to, because the over-the-counter tests work just fine too (if you test within 5-7 days of symptom onset). just...please don't try to run from the knowledge that you might have covid, because immunocompromised people, elderly people, people with co-morbidities like asthma, pregnancy, diabetes, etc...many of them may not recover. and they may not be sitting at your holiday table in the future because of it.
