Has anyone caught COVID while travelling abroad (or know someone that has) and gotten stuck/denied entry back to the US?

Seems like mad ppl are worried about that scenario. I was looking into saying fuck it and taking a trip but that shit would be a nightmare: Catching COVID in another country and then needing to test negative before returning to the US... Having to figure out extra accommodations, missed flights, etc.
I know 3 people that have caught Covid abroad.

I got my 2nd booster this afternoon at the VA.

They had me sit for about 10 minutes for observation, No effects and walked out and drove myself home.

Looking like there will be another booster coming out this Fall to get thru the winter.

Will be getting mines in 6 months so it will be between Thanksgiving and New Years for me.

My daughter has had reactions to all three shots.

Fever, chills, and headache. It sucks because now we are not sure if she should get anymore booster shots.

I let my dumbass slip last week when I returned home from Chicago. For the record I got my moderna booster and flu shot 6 months ago. came down with a chills, coughing and sneezing. Tested myself twice in a three day span and a the second test came back a hard positive. I'll re-test tomorrow.

I feel you.

I'm back in the office twice ler week (mandatory) and I'm the only one wearing a mask while everyone else are right in each other's face like shit is sweet despite multiple people in the office catching that shit recently.

But since the symptoms aren't severe right now they're sleeping.

But we all know there's going to be another (or multiple) variations by the fall/winter months which will have people back in the hospital on a ventilator :smh:
They are sending my wife's team back into the office. She went on a team trip and nobody wore a mask on a trip to FLORIDA! The shit is like religion, once everyone stopped wearing the masks the group think takes over and nobody wants to be the last person not drinking kool-aid. :smh: :smh: :smh:

Did they get stuck having to book extra nights in the country they were visiting?

I did some research and saw that some folks in that situation end up flying to Canada or Mexico instead and crossing back into the US via land border. All on their dime extra, obviously. Shit sounds crazy tho.

I'm good just mild symptoms. My oldest son lost taste and smell. The wife has rougher symptoms. Her doctor prescribed that new oral med to fight it off. We all got it from our 4 year old son. His preschool shut down last Thursday due to lack of teachers. 75% of them came down with covid.

Damn, my daughter got 8th grade graduation tomorrow. Kind of nervous about going.

I wish you and your family a speedy recovery.

fam, dont sleep on this - my first time getting covid confirmed yesterday - I'm vaxx;d not boosted - I believe it was after my flight monday - damn near 98% with no mask (damn near all white of course without mask) as I saw some smoke condensation coming from the top vents all the way down the plane like damn - i done fk'd up with taking this flight even though i had a n95 on. But fam, still I was a bit cocky in my mind like - well i must have anti convid DNA or if i get it it ain't gonna even cause me to sneeze- Shhhhid, like I got one of those momma slaps for even thinking this cant get to me... Headache and chills and coughing the first day, but 2nd day feeling much better no headaches and much less coughing - but let me say that first day and night kick my ass some for sure - moral of the story - this shyt will kick your ass for a day at least (and thank god the vaxx may have helped but either way be careful and cautious fam - shyt i cant imagine having to go to the er not being able to breathe through that shyt fam - the coughing all night was frustrating as hell never having a coughing bout ever like that.

You're right about that. After nearly 2 1/2 years of dodging, I caught it this week.

Sorry to hear this but thanks for letting the rest of us know so that we can have that reminder that shit is still real out here to keep us vigilant when we start to get laxed.

Wishing a speedy recovery to you all.
