Kolek planning to go pro
Well I was exposed at my fiancés family party Sunday. I have one test. Should I wait till Friday (my family has a negative test before our party requirement) or take it asap 🤔
If you don't have any obligations between now and Friday that would otherwise require you to test, I'd probably wait. The closer to your family party, the better.The lack of availability of at-home tests is and has been a damn travesty.
My son was exposed on Sunday as well. The CDC says to test 5-7 days after exposure (or immediately if you have symptoms.) -- However, the note I got from school about his exposure said to test after 3 days, which seems really fast.This .. in addition, my 79-year old in-laws tested positive last week after being boosted just a month ago. MIL had a rough day or two, FIL was asymptomatic until he lost his sense of smell/taste. In theory, they will test today and might test negative, so we might make the drive for xmas. On the plus side, we were originally worried we'd give it to them, but now that's taken off the table!
Omicron (which is the vast majority of new cases) is usually only 3 days before you're testing positive.
I avoided my wife’s family XMas party this year. My wife did attend.
I don't get this....if your wife attended, and you live in the same house as your wife, isn't that basically the same thing as if you attended? I mean I get that if you both attended there would be a slightly higher chance of one of you catching covid if it was present, but unless you quarantine from your spouse now for a few days (and maybe you are), not sure I get the point. Not trying to be snarky, but my wife and I have had some of these same conversations, so curious what the thought process was.
Neither of us are worried about catching the virus. We are both boosted.I didn't attend because I don't associate with anti-vaxxers out of principle. It was a tough decision for my wife as she feels the same way. But she is close to her family and decided to go. BTW, I am also pretty tight with all of her family except for the one anti-vaxxer. One other nephew is also unvaccinated, but that is because of a medical condition. I still get together him occasionally.Normally, the party is at our house. We decided not to host this year out of respect for my niece. We wouldn't have felt right inviting her and the kids, but telling her husband he was not welcome in our house. (I have never had any blowout with him - I just don't associate any more with that crowd).Legit question...what are your feelings about a woman's right to choose, hey?Good to have these discussions and my only advice would be to respect each other's opinion.
So, does Jockey associate with women who are pro-choice, hey?
