Blog #241: Dealing with a Positive Covid Test

Writer's picture: Jeffrey SnyderJeffrey Snyder

Apologies in advance as this will be a shorter blog than usual.

Throughout this whole pandemic, my family and I have always been one step ahead of the Coronavirus. We wore masks, watched our distance and got vaccinated and boosted (#TeamModerna).

However, we couldn’t outrun COVID forever and ended up testing positive this past Friday from one of the Omicron subvariants. Now, we all played by the rules of what happens when there is a positive test result and all we can say was that we were very lucky that all of the necessary precautions were taken.

All I can say is that while my symptoms were mild (sore throat, dry cough, runny nose), there are many neurodiverse/disabled individuals out there that are at great risk of catching the virus and some of them can’t or will never get the necessary tools needed to stay ahead. Some of them may be immunocompromised, some may have a religious or other obligation or there are others who might just be in denial or their loved ones are in denial.

So, it’s important to protect them by doing all the necessary precautions that we have been doing if you can. I wouldn’t wish COVID on my worst enemy, even the ones I despise in my life.

As for myself, I am doing fine and have pretty much recovered from the symptoms of COVID-19. Like I said, we were very lucky to have had a mild encounter with COVID and not a major one that most people have already had.

Again, if you haven’t been vaccinated or boosted yet, I urge you to do so if you can. If you cannot be vaccinated or boosted on specific grounds, then keep wearing a mask and watching your distance. We are still in a pandemic, even though the worst of it is behind us already.

Catch you all later!!
