But At Least Nothing ELSE Could Go Wrong… OR COULD IT???
Happy Wednesday, and welcome to the latest installment of “Jenny’s Tragic Summer.” The latest news is…my husband has Covid. Luckily, luckily, LUCKILY, WE HAVE ALL BEEN FULLY VACCINATED. My husband attended a rehearsal last week and he and six other people (so far) from that rehearsal have all gotten sick with Covid. My husband is much better now, but for three days he was exhausted. He had a fever the first day and now has some lingering congestion, but the main thing was his extreme tiredness. If Covid weren’t such a serious issue, I would say it was comical. He kept getting up and trying to do things (one day he tried to mow the lawn) and then would end up back in bed, saying “I just can’t figure out why I’m so tired!” As soon as he found out he had been exposed to Covid he got his test, which was positive. As soon as he got his positive test, I got a rapid results test, which was negative. I’m also waiting on the results of the lab test, which takes longer but is more accurate. But so far, the kids and I are all well. So guess what- Covid is still out there! And you can still get it, even if you’ve been vaccinated. We don’t know the status of everyone involved, but at least four of the people who are sick were fully vaccinated. So, wear your mask when possible (no one was masked at the rehearsal- it’s hard to play trumpet with a mask on) and STAY AWAY FROM UNVACCINATED PEOPLE WHENEVER POSSIBLE. Since vaccinated, asymptomatic people are very unlikely to transmit the virus, we suspect that an unvaccinated person at that rehearsal exposed everyone. On a completely different topic… craziness at the Olympics, right??? Poor Simone… she’s putting a positive spin on the situation, but you know that’s not how she wanted things to play out. And what happens if she can’t compete in the all-around? Can Jade Carey take her place? So much drama! At least I won’t look back and say this summer was dull. What do you think of the Olympics so far? What do you think of the NEW CDC mask guidelines? – masks again… ugh.
