Tested positive today, I might have been positive over the weekend but I decided not to waste the tests since I wasn't working. Russet thinks she's positive but her test this morning says otherwise.

I feel fine and began Paxlovid, notified my immunologist and asked a question. I've read that you shed virus longer with the new variants than you did with the older virus, I need to find out how much longer I'd be a threat to my co-workers.

Far too much fun.

The thing that irritates me is Dave went in to work today: he's a public school teacher. He didn't say he tested negative, but I know he's still shedding virus. A N95 mask means it prevents 95% of virus particles of a certain size from coming in - OR GOING OUT. I know the school teachers are getting clobbered and they may have been doubling-up classes due to shortages, going back and potentially infecting kids is not a solution.

Oof. Sorry that you're dealing with this again, and also, I share your grump that going back to work when you're not fully clear of the infection is a bad idea and does more to spread the infection (and possibly invoke Long COVID), but I'll bet there's not enough leave time accumulated and that can be used to recover fully without suffering career consequences.
