On Lockdown

[stitchwhich]

We had two people over for New Year's Eve and went to breakfast with them the next morning. One of them, the guy who travelled to Ohio for a family gathering for Christmas, spiked a fever later that evening. He went in for Covid screening on January second and sure enough, popped positive. So we are now on lockdown here at home. My husband has been going to work each day until today, when our friend contacted us to give us his test results. There is a discrepancy between company policy and CDC guidelines, so for my spouse it comes down to "Don't come back for a minimum of five days and only with a negative Covid test". He'll be getting in line for a non-appointment test tomorrow - appointments are running about a week out, the earliest being one next Weds. This means the man is going to be under foot for a long time. I may need sanity checks next week. :D

In respect of Omnicron, my SCA kingdom has shut down all in-person events through this month, which is anticipated to be the time of infection peaking. Hopefully the decision makers will evaluate the numbers month by month until we can have open air events.

We are enjoying watching Jeopardy more than usual lately. We're both cheering on the current champion, Amy Schnieder, who is (I think) the first trans person who has been on the show. And she's whoppin' ass. I expect that if she continues to win through this week, she will garner over a million dollars. Yay

I've been watching Amy too. Good for her! I hope you both stay healthy.

Here's hoping you stay negative and your friend who popped positive gets through as easily as possible.
