Stupid Pet Peeves

I’m 99% positive my daughter brought it home from one of her friends. She’d gone out to lunch with her some of them and one by one, they tested positive. Then we got sick.
Two of my kids were playing D&D last week unmasked (after telling me they would stay masked), and one of the other players is now positive. One of them was in tears when they heard.
 
Not being able to get a covid test for over a week when my wife is showing symptoms. Everyone getting tested in Cali apparently. Everyone. Not an appointment to be had for over a week. And most testing centers have cancelled or greatly restricted walk-ins. Frustrating.

I ran into this issue in Norcal when we all caught the Rona at Thanksgiving. We bought tests through Vault Health and did it at home. Wife got hers at urgent care and begged them to let her take it because we were supposed to get on an airplane the next day.

Vault was pretty fast but still not ideal.

Might have to look into that. We can go to a pay clinic, but all of them I have called charge around $300 that you then have to get reimbursed through insurance. What a hassle.

I'd say assume she has it, but when our household got it I had my wife isolated with one of my daughters and was mega-diligent about keeping her in her room... we all ended up getting it a day or so after she tested positive. There isn't a lot you can do other than stay home. If you had someone that is a big risk I'd take them out of the home.

Luckily for us it was not that bad. It is the weirdest thing though... obviously people are dying of it and there are some outside the key demographics that are affected more than others. For us I'd say the regular flu is definitely worse and a bad head cold was worse. Good luck.
