35. Testing is a BAD idea, he's too late for an accurate test. He wouldn't get

Tue Nov 23, 2021, 08:00 PM

Nov 2021

a PCR back in time and an antigen test could well be out of the ideal window for accuracy, making it absolutely useless in this case. I test people for COVID for a living, btw.

The only solution is to tell BIL to shove it up his ass, as far as I can see. Unless you can think of some way for him to eat 10+ feet away from you with ventilation that will ensure none of you have to breathe any of his air.

Best of luck.
