Quarantining, 2021 edition
We have cold symptoms, but do we have COVID?
Karin took a home test and got a “yes” result. So, we both took drive-thru tests. Now we await the verdict of the lab.
Meanwhile, Karin stays home from her job.

Tonight we measured our oxygen levels. They’re normal.
Samuel has no symptoms, I’m glad to report. Or, if he does have any, he isn’t telling us.

The results are available:
Karin, too.
So, first of all, we’re very grateful to have been vaccinated: our symptoms have been mild. And yet they’ve been noticeable enough to warn us not to spend time with other people.
And second, I worry for Samuel, who almost certainly has been infected (though, so far, he doesn’t seem to have suffered).
And I worry for the other people who’ve been around us.
I’m glad that on Sunday we didn’t go to church; but I regret that when I thought I just had a cold, I went to the store to buy medicine.
