In the past two years, my partner and I have taken more at-home COVID tests than we can count. After our first test in 2021, we obsessively checked every few seconds to see what the indicator would reveal. Longest 15 minutes ever.
We’re up to date on
our vaccinations. We still mask up in stores and on public
transportation. We recently attended our first concert in three years
and though most of our fellow concertgoers at the outdoor venue weren’t
masked, we were. Still we swabbed our nostrils a few days later. Both
negative.
So it never crossed our minds as we were about to leave town for the Memorial Day weekend that we would get anything other than the desired result. My COVID test was negative. Hers was positive. A second test confirmed the first.
More.
