Covid #2 for me!
Oct. 30th, 2023 08:51 amTested 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.
