Californians working while sick with COVID-19, fooled by mild symptoms

[Mr.Bill]

4. I'm pretty sure the way my wife and I caught it

was visiting a great grandchild last weekend who had started Kindergarten the previous week. The scheduled teacher was there on the first day, then out sick with Covid. I can well understand a teacher not wanting to miss the first day, or maybe with no symptoms yet so she didn't know. Maybe even tested negative. Tests aren't 100% accurate.

It illusrates how these things spread. From teacher to who knows how many students to my current location 150 miles away. And if I didn't have test kits, my symptoms are so mild it would be easy to think it was just a cold. And I was not sick until I got home, so how about the waitress at the Denny's where we stopped for lunch on the way home? We could have given it to her without realizing it. I just feel lucky we avoided it until now. Although, it wasn't all luck. We have all our shots and have been very careful. We really worked at it.
