(5,928 posts)So glad you recovered 💕 I think I was maybe infected by a student who came to class the last class we had and said he felt sick left and then later told me in a virtual class two of his relatives had it and he was not quarantining. Makes me upset. Another student told me that she and her girlfriend were both sick with high fevers at home, I dont know if she got tested but I think she skipped a couple of classes before that maybe. I have to check. She and her gf are ok now. I wish I had been wearing a mask, it does help if it has a filter, the doc at the field hospital gave me some surgical masks which is what they were wearing as well as the whole garb, no face shields I think. And told me to hide them in my back pack.
Yes, an antibody test will tell you. My doc said she had one patient test neg for the other test but she is sure he has it and thinks it was false negative.
The test was not that bad. They swabbed both nostrils and my throat. Just a bit uncomfortable for a second.
