I'm pissed and have to get a COVID test ... [View all]

Last edited Mon Nov 22, 2021, 03:40 PM - Edit history (2)

ALLL this time and vaccinated and i get exposed by my daughter's roomate's mother! (And I wprk in Hotel Front Desk!)

She's a typical assholle anti-vaxxer and her BF got it and they didnt test for it and said it wasnt covid...
The roommate saw her Tuesday (I guess she was already starting to get sick by then) and the kids were both a little sniffly when we went out yesterday.

Now the roomate (only had one shot so far) is feeling sick today and my daughter is still just a little icky. The mother called and told them TODAY oh yeah, it IS covid...oops!

I know you cant get it that fast, (right? 24-28 hours? ...oh shit, what if I got it at work instead?)
But I have been sneezing and runny ALLLL day since I got to work. Then my daughter sends me the text to get tested this afternoon.

Now I'm paranoid...
Now watching for ANY other symptoms.
Literally have not been "sick" since 2019 (Other than my usual autoimmune shit)
I am hoping my vaccination will help. Now I'm so fucking scared and PISSED

You are right to be cautious. How long did she wait for her test? Maru Kitteh Nov 2021 #30
About 12 hours. It was a Spit-test, dont know how reliable those are either. (nt) FirstLight Nov 2021 #31
A saliva PCR is very accurate. Hope all stays well. nt Maru Kitteh Nov 2021 #34
