Just curious, did you get the rapid test or the one they send out?

Oh shit. Take care.matedog wrote: ↑02 Jan 2021, 11:07amBest wishes marky. I hope he starts feeling better real soon. That’s scary as shit with those symptoms.
I got tested two days ago to confirm I was stu negative. Between my wife and I, we got tested three times in December solely to be extra precautious around the holiday. Sure enough, it came back positive. Fortunately, I have no symptoms. Wife and kid are getting tested today. Daughter has a cough at night but that could be seasonal since she’s had that before this time of year.
I’m racking my brains on how the hell I could have gotten it and all signs are pointing to Christmas with the in laws. That was the only massless extended indoor hangout. Everyone (there were seven of us) was supposed to have quarantined and got tested but only we did. So now they are all getting tested. Beyond that, I’ve been in two buildings for less than five minutes, masked, in the last two weeks.
We had a lot of talks. We called off thanksgiving. Went through with Christmas with the wife getting tested but called off the sister in law visiting since her bf who she was spending Christmas Eve with’s sister was potentially exposed. So it’s either the mother in law still working in an office or the nice but right wing slightly nutty uncle who showed up unexpectedly and hung out for like three hours (masked but inside) talking about the neighbor in his apartment building having Covid.

Daughter has had a night time cough for a couple weeks but hard to tell as she had that last winter. Otherwise, as of this morning yes. They just got tested yesterday so we will hopefully get results today.revbob wrote: ↑03 Jan 2021, 8:56amAre you, wife and daughter still symptom free?matedog wrote: ↑03 Jan 2021, 2:15amWe had a lot of talks.

Yeah hopefully your daughter's cough is just one of those kid things and you all come thru this ok.matedog wrote: ↑03 Jan 2021, 1:21pmDaughter has had a night time cough for a couple weeks but hard to tell as she had that last winter.

Especially as covid manifesting in the young is quite rare. Sensible to be concerned, of course, but odds are well in your favour that she's not infected.revbob wrote: ↑03 Jan 2021, 1:54pmYeah hopefully your daughter's cough is just one of those kid things and you all come thru this ok.matedog wrote: ↑03 Jan 2021, 1:21pmDaughter has had a night time cough for a couple weeks but hard to tell as she had that last winter.

That's excellent for the rest of your family. So are you supposed to isolate yourself in one part of the house? I don't know the protocols for one family member being positive.
Sleep in a separate room, wear a mask around the house, keep your distance as much as possible, get retested soon.
