Ha ha ha ha ha!

Took a Covid test this morning, as planned. There was an extremely thin and faint line by the positive test check area, to the point where I could go either way on whether it was positive or negative and my parents were also split. Called the doctor to ask for advice, we'll be doing a telehealth check thing this afternoon. In the mean time, I will not be going to work today.

Update: Doc said to go ahead and assume the test results were positive. Apparently, most people catch it within five days of cohabitating with a contagious person, and even if Dad just barely falls outside the range, Mom doesn't.

I did all I could to improve my odds, but if you roll the the dice enough times, eventually it'll still come up a natural one. On the plus side, everything I did to improve my odds should make the actual experience of Covid less terrible and dangerous than otherwise.

I'll be staying home from WisCon. We'll see what happens after that. If I develop symptoms before May 30th, I stay home until June 4th; otherwise, May 30th is my "release date".

That’s too bad 😭 but yeah, at least you have the online parts. If you do have it, I hope you feel okay and get well soon.

I'm so sorry! :(

You can do as much as possible to protect yourself, but you're right - sometimes it still happens. I hope you have as mild (or asymptomatic!) a case as possible.

I'm sorry you have to stay home from the con. (Even as I'm very glad you're doing so, as the responsible thing to do.)

I'm sorry you've tested positive and I hope it's not too bad. I was positive at the beginning of the month - I'm so careful, but I've been surrounded by people with it who don't mask, so it was inevitable. :(

Yeah, according to the instructions on the home tests, even a faint line means positive. :(

Oh, dammit. :( I'm so sorry. May the horrible virus vanish in record time, leaving you and yours unscathed.

It sucks having to be responsible. :(

I'm glad it's staying mild, at the very least! One of the rough things about Covid is how many of the symptoms can *also* be symptoms of other things, including allergies and the like. It's difficult to narrow it down.
