She works at a grocery store, and apparently one of her coworkers left early yesterday because she had trouble breathing

My roomie had a really shitty night. She was tossing and turning and having cold sweats and generally very uncomfortable. And now she has a FEVER

Im kind of... upset with her. But I dont want to tell her because shes already freaking out. But yesterday she insisted that she bring her (just two) friends over. I was really nervous about that idea but since Im a pushover who cant ever say no, I said yes. And now Im beating myself up over it because if they get Covid I will feel really really guilty.

They both do know that shes showing symptoms now. So theyre self isolating.

Shes getting tested tomorrow, so Ill update the topic then. We live in Seattle, so it isnt that far fetched if she got it

Thanks, I think Ill be okay. I spent today sanitizing and cleaning the house (tbh it needed a spring cleaning anyways. Shes been banished to her bedroom, and luckily she has a door that goes straight to the bathroom so she doesnt have to go out into the hall

I feel really guilty

I understand your roommate needs to go to work but I personally think anyone trying to spend time with friends or have get-togethers or meet up is kind of being selfish. If there's not a good reason to be out I'm pretty much against it, but I guess that's because I'm high risk

People are rioting in mass crowds right now and people are still trying to shame people for hanging out with a friend.

I understand where youre coming from and I agree. Shes a very social person and this quarantine has been rough on her. The two friends are coworkers, and lockdowns are starting to ease up here so we thought itd be okay

Luckily the two peeps are low risk

I hope not

LOL yep thats her

The situation is figured out for the most part, so thats really nice. Her bfs mom decided that shell keep her, and work with her on getting emancipated. Runaway girl is healthy, happy and safe

Thats good. Sheesh. What a situation.
Yeah.. it was nuts. And very very stressful, Im glad it seems to be over now

We bought her a $15 phone though and its crapping out. I might just take the plunge and finally replace my old iphone and give her that. Its not anything special but its hellava lot better than the one she has lol

Shikes man.. yeah I dont even know what to say. My friend had lost a relative that was in their 20s and I cant even imagine how it must feel like to watch dinguses go around without a mask in public.. I was in a Home Depot getting something from a lower rack and this dude and his mate come and he fucking sneezed right all over my airspace I was like the fuck is wrong with you my guy and everyone just stood around staring at the guy

I felt really, really bad to oust someone but man I was so heated that I felt his air gahhhhh

Yeah, I'm just a little bit more paranoid than most I suppose about going back out too soon or reopening things too soon. At least everyone is not high-risk and I'm assuming you will be okay as well. Like people have said, you should probably get tested

And to the other person who said I'm shaming her friend but not shaming people protesting, well no shit, one of those things is the culmination of something that has been boiling over for a long time now and something has got to give. I'm aware is probably going to really fuck up the pandemic more, but I have empathy. I understand where the pain is coming from for the protesters.

PCR test isn't perfect. depending on the stage of the infection if the virus isn't in high enough amounts in the nasal cavity then its going to come back negative. best to treat your roommate as presumptive positive for a few more days at least.

That was said earlier in the topic, too. That someone got two negatives from a nose swab before testing positive through another way. I'm not sure what to think, but I agree. We're still acting like she has Covid since she has all the symptoms. It might just be a bug but I still don't want it lol

She likely got it from her coworkers, since three of them are sick at home too
