mdlbear | Exposure (Reply)

So... this morning my phone greeted me with a notification that started with "Possible exposure reported. Someone you were near has tested positive for COVID-19." Further investigation showed that the exposure took place on March 17 or 18. I'm not worried. Since I was home alone on Whidbey on the 18th, that narrowed it down to our housekeeper or one of the stores I stopped at for groceries on the way up. Or conceivably someone near my car on the ferry.

Our housekeeper hasn't called, and if she'd been the source of the exposure everyone else who was in the house at the time would have been notified as well. I shop with a mask on, and Molly just had her passenger compartment air filter replaced last month. So the probability that I've actually been exposed is rather small.

For the next couple of days, I'm treating it as an excuse to hang out in my apartment and spend more time with the cats, who really deserve more attention anyway. Food choices are a trifle limited, but include tinned sardines, which Desti for one has no objection to at all.
