You've all probably noticed it. Well, it's not you. Don't think that for a moment. I should have come clean with this before, but didn't for two reasons. I honestly didn't want to talk about it, and I didn't want to worry anyone before I know if I'm going to test positive, and yes, I know you're all focusing in on the words "testing positive" at this point. Well, I can confirm this is heading exactly where you think it is.
The day before yesterday, my mom got her hair done at a local barber shop. Yesterday, we got a call from mom's barber and found out her husband tested positive for COVID-19. This woman had done my mother's hair. And I picked my mother up from that shop. We are now both in quarantine waiting to see if we caught it. A whole year of successfully dodging the virus just to get it thanks to mom's hair "needs". Just as I was getting more hours at work, too. Writing it out to my friends a little earlier today made me realize I wasn't just worried and stressed yesterday: I was already livid.
This doesn't excuse how I treated DarthAkcbar on the Snyder Cut topic yesterday. It doesn't change the fact I was a huge jerk last night. I'm confessing now because I realize just sitting here feeling for myself instead of reaching out just poisoned the pond around here.

Sorry to hear about that. I had to quarantine earlier this year myself.
Hopefully everything goes good for you and your mom.

Muahaha time to check out some stuff *licks lips*Sure, but I'll probably get us kicked out and we'll have to wait for hours on the steps before our future archnemesis convinces the Ancient One to let us in.

I also managed to grab some Vitamin C, D, and Zinc before heading into isolation, so hopefully that'll also boost my immune by the time any symptoms start showing up. If they ever do. One of my uncles caught it last year, but since he started taking the forementioned Vitamins the instant the pandemic hit, he was only sick with COVID for two days and even mowed his lawn while he had it.

I went through the same thing. The whole thing pissed me off about how I was exposed and the people who exposed me and I worried I exposed my parents. I had the same feelings you did. It takes a week to get these results or less?

You realize how boned you might be and you start running down a list of everyone you might have exposed in turn and just feel all the worse for it when you do. I've been told just today they've shortened the time to ten days. So, eight to go.

The problem is you have all this time to think about this stuff which makes it more nerve-racking. The waiting. All you can do is go about your business and try to stay positive about this. Easier said than done I know.

A guy I work with had gotten tested and he was working during the week while waiting on the results. I was unaware of this. So one day I came into work and they told me he got his results and tested positive. Which means I was around him a lot when he actually had the virus. I thought for sure I was catching it.

That's a lot more contact than Mom and I had with her barber, so that gives me a lot of hope we didn't catch it. We honestly hadn't been to the shop in weeks until tuesday.

Yes it is important to remember that being exposed is by no means a guarantee that you catch it. I'm no expert on this stuff but I just know that other guys I work with were exposed more and didn't get it. Other guys got it but they got it elsewhere or from other people.

My uncle got it and he’s 70 and he’s fine. A guy I work with’s wife and daughter had it who lives in the same house with him and he didn’t get it. Luckily him and the wife are separated though. But I was majorly exposed to him at the time so that was another stressful period for me. I was pissed at the time because he was always coming close to me and talking and wearing no mask half the time. What made me even more mad was that I seemed to be the only one at work that was concerned about it.

Did your place of work at least crack down on the safety precautions after that?

Did your place of work at least crack down on the safety precautions after that? thanks I think at the time we closed down for a week or maybe 2. This was a few months ago. But hang in there and the best thing you can do is keep yourself occupied and each day hopefully will get easier.

One week down, and if the shortened isolation time is accurate, I'm three days away from either getting very, very sick or being a free man again.
