Looks like COVID has visited our household. After 8 high risk indoor sporting events, it is likely DW contracted it on our last game, the game that our team got eliminated from the playoffs. This game had a lot of motivated fans visiting from NY, which has a high surge of Covid. After paying $300 for a ticket and traveling, they would likely attend no matter how they feel. It is also possible DW got it somewhere else too, such a store or church office. DW is 4x vaxxed and always wears a mask. She triple masked the hockey games. About 5% of the fans wore one.
Her story is interesting, and if you can bear with me, it is worth a read:
- currently no symptoms
- high risk activity on Monday night
- accurate PCR negative test on Friday (Day 4, exactly 92 hours after suspected exposure)
- accurate PCR positive test on Saturday (Day 5, exactly 116 hours after suspected exposure)
- Friday test negative, Saturday test positive. Day 4 negative, day 5 positive but asymptomatic.
- Home test on Saturday negative
What's interesting about DW is she went to the county site 2 days in a row to get the official PCR test. I told her she's over-doing it. Turns out she wasn't. The reason she did so much testing was she visited friends on Saturday and wanted to be sure not to infect them. Today (Sunday) she was supposed to visit her niece. DW is the most considerate person I know so she wanted to be absolutely sure. Hence all the testing.
So far, no symptoms for her. Is it a false positive? We're not taking that chance. I'll get tested tomorrow, and if positive, we'll know she has it. If I'm negative, she'll test again on Tuesday. Her friends are monitoring. If DW has it, her case will be a study in early, asymptomatic spread.
As for me, I swear I feel a little headachy and have some ringing in my ears. Maybe it is my imagination. We'll see how today goes and I get a PCR test tomorrow. I'm not burning a home test yet since DW's experience proved they are not reliable in early detection.
