covid II?

[spacefem]

okay this sucks. it sucks so much I waited a full 24 hours to post about it, so I could mentally calm myself and write.

I am booked to go on a work trip to Australia on Sunday. I have campaigned for this for years, there's a conference, I have customers that love our airplanes, I am so excited I can barely stand it.

My husband went on a trip to another conference last weekend.

He got home late monday night. I was asleep. He crawled in bed next to me. In the morning he was really sniffy, so he took a covid test that was immediately positive.

wtf dude.

so this once-in-a-lifetime trip is a huge question mark now.

we are masking in the house, I am upstairs and he is sleeping in the basement and downstairs. No bathroom sharing, no room sharing, no talking.

I have a PCR test scheduled Friday and home tests to take before I go, but can I dodge this? When it's apparently very contagious, and I haven't had a booster since before I had covid in January?

and if everybody's getting it again now, am I also just going to get it AGAIN?

ahhhhh!

I realize people have suffered real losses due to covid, I am not meaning to wave that away. but can I mourn this trip?

I am really upset.

we got back from our trip to India. Hubby tested positive 2 days in. We should have probably tested the day we landed but thought the fatigue was from jet lag and 24 hours of travel. D nor I have caught it - we tested with a PCR test a few days after and rapid tests at home. He has been isolating in the basement and wears a mask if he comes up for food and drink. He doesn't cook. So, hang in there.

D has a big milestone trip coming up Sunday!! So, he will stay away just as an added precaution. So, there's hope!! I really wish that for you! I'd be so upset as well! sigh.
