You made the right decision. The home tests don't always detect early on, and the fact that your son has it, you were in close proximity to him, and the fact that you have a sore throat/headache are probably not coincidences.Tell the people what is up and why you aren't there. With the technology we have, this should be a no brainer.....goes with the flu, colds, etc too....not just COVIDSo my son tested positive tonight. He was fine all day mostly, then all of a sudden he was just dead tired. 102 fever now and doesn’t want to move.
I have slept with him the last several nights. I don’t feel 100%, but what dad of young kids does? I tested negative tonight.
I am supposed to have an in-person meeting with several partners tomorrow. What is the protocol and what is the right thing to do? If negative, go, regardless of a minor sore throat or feeling extra tired? Or stay home if even mild symptoms, knowing there is a case and exposure in the house?
I opted this route. Just is a gray area now, as nobody is required to isolate due to exposure. I am negative without a fever, but have a mild sore throat and headache, and am exhausted. But I also was up with him until 2am last night, as he couldn't sleep and threw up a few times too.
I have a huge pet peeve of people who knowingly expose others when they are either sick or likely sick in this day and age. You'd think we'd have learned something from the pandemic in trying not to get others sick, but so many people seem to not care at all.
