Damn. What makes you say that? (Like, symptoms alone, or symptoms plus a close contact with a known case?)

Either way, if you think you might have it, assume for now that you do. Isolate and rest. Unless you have an underlying medical condition, you should be fine.

Rass, is getting tested is a big priority? Unless there’s a need for contact tracing, maybe that could wait a few days?

Advice given out in NJ has been to wait 4-5 days from the date of exposure if you think you were exposed but are asymptomatic. If you're symptomatic I don't think there is a reason to wait, especially if you're concerned that others have been or will be exposed to you. The rapid tests are great to prove positives but not so much negatives

To wit, I woke up Sunday without a sense of taste and smell. It came back but I still went and got a rapid test that came back negative. Felt better by Sunday night. Last night started to get a sore throat and today a fever popped. Saliva tests kick off at 3. If I’m positive, my XC team can’t race Saturday which really blows.

Did you kiss her? Tongue?

I think if you just interacted with her outside for a brief time, there is a very minimal risk of transmission.

Oh no doubt. I mean I didn't expect anything even remotely like that and I had driven 40 minutes to get there so I wasn't about to leave but I am an adult and I could have.

It should clear up with time, but this isn't just the sniffles for a week. This is some serious shit.

It took me at least six weeks to fully recover from it.

Yeah, that makes sense. Do you know how many folks at this gathering caught it?
