Given her physical condition, as well as her known health problems like the blood clots, Chantal is at increased risk of death from literally everything. A slip and fall could ultimately do her in. And whatever you think of covid -- whether you think it's "no worse" than the common flu or if you think it's a sign of the impending apocalypse -- Chantal is at much higher risk of death or other complications than most people, regardless of the variant or her vax status.
I personally think she's unlikely to survive any variant and thus must not have been exposed. Cockroach luck, I guess, since she's not exactly hygienic or smart.
With the glaring exception of Nader, her lifestyle is almost covid proof. She almost never interacts with people in meat space, besides Peetz, except at drive thrus and very occasionally from in-person shopping. And in those cases, it's not like she's standing around near people for the 15 minutes it would take to get an exposure. She
can't stand for 15 minutes.
In 2020 she got a lot of shit about taking Peetz to the Keg when restaurants first reopened. And many people thought she'd get covid in early 2020 from her nonstop drive thru trips because it was believed that covid spread primarily through droplets, and this bitch was never washing her hands and was doing stuff like opening ketchup packets with her teeth. But as long as the drive thru attendants are doing a decent job masking, they're not going to give her covid, and that's pretty much the only place she'd actually be able to get it.
There has also been a lot of covid talk ITT the last two years whenever she would gather with her family. But those family gatherings were always small, and they were very few and far between. So while Chantal's risk of complications from covid are incredibly dire, I think her risk of actually catching it has always been pretty low.
Until Nader, of course, and until omicron. We know Nader is crawling with other diseases, and the general consensus is that he is not faithful to her. But I think he must get less action than we assume he does to have not given Chantal covid already. He also doesn't work so it's not like he's at risk of exposure that way. It would have to be his slam pigs and drug buddies, and that might be a smaller group than we imagine (but probably just as sad.)
Regardless, if the experts are right about how basically everyone will eventually catch omicron, Chantal will have to catch it from Nader. She's really covid-proof except for that one big area. So if she's gonna get covid, I'm sure it'll be in the next month. As soon as anybody Nader associates with gets it, she'll get it.
But there's also the chance she already caught an earlier variant and had the astounding good luck to be asymptomatic, like Kelly Lenza. None of us like to admit it, but it's possible.
