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

Re: Coronavirus Thread of Doom
It was the non rapid one. I asked about false negatives and retesting and they said it wasn’t worth it.

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.

Re: Coronavirus Thread of Doom
I'm just catching up on this thread, apologies for missing what has been a lot of posts for obvious reasons - hope everyone affected is soon on the mend, and their loved ones are safe. What a start to the new year.

Re: Coronavirus Thread of Doom
Shit Andrew, take care. Hope it's a big nothing for you and the family. And holy smokes how do your in laws now follow through or call off a gathering if they couldn't/wouldn't quarantine.

Re: Coronavirus Thread of Doom
Careful out there everyone! I'm sorry but sadly not surprised to hear that it is affecting our little internet community. I feel like we still have another year of this to get through and it's depressing as hell.
Re: Coronavirus Thread of Doom
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.

Re: Coronavirus Thread of Doom
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.

Re: Coronavirus Thread of Doom
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.

Re: Coronavirus Thread of Doom
Wife and daughter both tested negative which is good, but now I have no idea what to do. It would have been almost easier if they were positive (and asymptomatic).

Re: Coronavirus Thread of Doom
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.

Re: Coronavirus Thread of Doom
Sleep in a separate room, wear a mask around the house, keep your distance as much as possible, get retested soon.
