The Rapid Covid Test

 


Daughter L had flown in from Calgary for a brief visit as her good friend was getting married.  During this visit, we planned a dress fitting at the bridal salon where she got her dress.  The day before the fitting L got an email containing the Covid screening questions required prior to entering the salon.  Wouldn't you know that one of the questions was 'have  you travelled in the past 14 days?'  

We did some soul searching.  Should she lie, she really wanted to get this fitting done.  She felt fine.  Son K and I were inclined that way.  L decided to call the salon to explain her predicament.  The owner said if she was willing to do a rapid Covid test when she got there and if she tested  negative we could do the fitting.  

I was impressed at my daughter's integrity and the salon appreciated her honesty.  So fortunately she tested negative and all was well.

Good plan for the dress shop. Each day I work as a nurse, my agency requires us to answer: Have you traveled in the last 14 days outside of Missouri or Kansas? Have you had a fever in the last 24 hours? Have you been around someone who's tested positive for covid? Some nurses miss their shifts for 10 days if they ended up being next to someone who was positive. Even if the nurse is fully vaccinated. Stay safe! Linda in Kansas

Good for you. No sense spreading it if you can help it. No sense taking risks, either!

Linda, hope you atleast some paid leave left, but it sounds like the germaphobe-gestapo will force you to use it up - for what? A freaking flu-bug, that's what - ugh!

The right thing to do is often a hard choice. So glad she is negative.
