canyonwalker: coronavirus (coronavirus)

After being exposed to Covid-19 last week I took an at-home test on Saturday. It was negative, thankfully. But I didn't stop there. Guidance is to test again 5-7 days after exposure even if no symptoms have appeared.

But did symptoms appear?

Part of the New Normal of living in the post-pandemic world— more accurately, the Covid endemic world— is that every time I get a stuff nose, every time I cough more than twice in a row, I wonder, "Could this be Covid?!"

Part of the new normal is wondering "Is this Covid?" with every cold (Jan 2024)

I tested negative again today, so those scattered coughs were just coincidental. I did not catch Covid-19. Hooray, immune system boosted by multiple shots of the vaccine!

I want to repeat that I'm happy my colleague told us he tested positive for Covid. A lot of people would not have. In this situation it arguably didn't matter to me since I didn't actually get sick. But I may have gotten sick, and quite probably someone in the room of 20-25 people with him did get sick. It's better to know and to know to get tested. Notifying us was a class act.
