This is what's scary. Does anyone really know how long the virus stays on surfaces. Does he get his lunch delivered? Unless you are in a true bubble you could come in contact no matter how careful you are. Look how many programs are infected.
It’s transmitted person to person a huge majority of the time. Guess it could have been a fluke . Never know.
My nephew is a manager for UAlbany basketball. UAlbany had a player test positive a week and a half ago. My nephew had no recent contact with that individual. UAlbany basketball operations were suspended for two weeks. My nephew has been at home since then with virtual learning. The only time he left his parent's home in that time span was to go to UAlbany for Covid testing three time a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday). He's been nowhere else. His Monday and Tuesday tests were negative. He developed headaches Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning. His Thursday test was positive. After waking up in a pool of sweat on Friday morning, he now feels fine. He's quarantined for 14 days. His parents and brother are also quarantined and were tested yesterday; they'll have results by Tuesday. He doesn't know how he contracted Covid. The only outside contact he's recently had was with the testers.
Godspeed to your nephew.
Official protocol, they have to stop
It would be ironic if testers were actually spreading the virus. After all, testers probably have lots more contact with infected people than the average person does.
He is in shape and takes good care of himself but its the age that worries me.
I have been tested 3 times since it started. Drive through at Binghamton University. They are very careful only letting you roll window down a little ways and all. But there are a lot of different testing procedures.
Yeah, sure he was.
Stick to cheap pitchers, Chuck.
Yeah. He's retraced his steps and that's the only recent contact. Who knows.
I believe my nephew had to enter the athletic facility to be tested.
You're right about lots of different testing procedures. The procedure used in your case sounds good. When I was tested, I had to go into a small room with the testing technician, close the door, take off my mask and get "swabbed." The technician wore a mask, but had no other PPE. The whole procedure only took a minute or so, but I was a little concerned knowing that lots of others had also been tested throughout the day in that small room.
I got tested in August on Griffiss and it was the same. It was a little eerie with military directing you around and everybody in the testing area with full body PPE haha
