Back in my day, when one of us got a cold we all got that cold, and we all liked it. We continued to work while miserable and made sure to spread that baby around to as many people as possible.
Lol true

OP,
Do you feel better? Did you go to the meeting?
I hope you are feeling better and that your meeting went well!

Well we shouldn't have gone into work with something contagious in the past either. It's just common sense to not do that. But at a minimum, test for covid before going and exposing everyone! This will never end with such selfish people

And in the future if you have anything big coming up like a meeting or event you don't want to miss, mask up and distance for the two weeks prior
You can’t be serious
If it’s that important then yes. A friend masked up before her most recent marathon because she didn’t want to risk losing all her training. She’s mask free now.
**Absolutely** this is a good idea. It costs almost nothing to wear a mask and avoid close quarters where you could be infected and it makes a lot of sense. I even do this before a trip or having relatives come to visit is I'd prefer not to get sick and have to cancel.

You don't know who has underlying conditions, or relatives with underlying conditions. Please take the covid test and do the meeting via zoom if you have to.

If I'm in a meeting with someone who is clearly sick, I am really teed off.

At minimum please wear a mask. But really you shouldn’t go in at all…

Right?!? You're not only exposing every person in that room but every person on each of their airplanes going home, the families of every person on that airplane, and the social circles of all of those families. Stop being selfish people. Your meeting is not more important than the safety and well being of 1000s of people.

Not every meeting has a virtual option.

1) get the cough drops with menthol
2) get afrin nose spray
3) fizzy Sudafed
4) caffeine
5) wear a mask and you'll survive

In the last 2 hours I’ve suddenly been hit by a raspy feeling in my lungs/chest, slight sore throat, chills/hot feeling, and dizziness. No fever and my temp is actually reading lower than my normal. I don’t have a Covid test left in the house but also…cannot have Covid and blow this meeting up.
I have cold meds, ginger, smoothie supplies, and zinc. DH is taking over and I’m going to bed right now and can sleep 10 hours if I can fall asleep. Should I do anything else?
I’m so used to cancelling or going virtual for every little sniffle these past years but those days in my org are definitely over. Tell me how to function tomorrow!
yes you can have COVID. Shingles doesn't care, COVID doesn't care (that you have a meeting)
Doesn’t matter if it’s Covid. OP sleep, antihistamines, Advil, and some tea tomorrow before work. Then come home and sleep.
So they can most possibly infect every other person at the meeting with whatever they have?
I promise - every room you go into has sick people in it. Court, church, the movies, work, the airport, a conference, a restaurant, every single room.
BS. liar.
