You did the right thing. You protected others. You can request an antibody test if you want confirmation you really had it but were asymptomatic. Covid 19 Antibodies stay in your blood for 60-90 days. The contact tracing sounds lacking in your area. My coworker got it from his wife who got it from her work back in April. The health department called them every day for 2 weeks straight. How’s your sense of taste & smell?

Good job handling it the right why even when inconvenient. You may have saved someone’s life in the process.

Sorry for what you are going through. I stay home a lot unless I definitely have to go out, due to age and medical conditions. I do miss seeing people, but all we can do is hang in there and Bsafe

GibJig - Thanks for the thought - however my experience here is that noone will do that test (DoD, VA or the county - and we called and asked (even offered to pay out of pocket) and every agency pints to the other to say they are the lead) as I have no symptoms and was not hospitalized. the contact tracing worked as it was designed - that is how I got removed from work. I have had zero symptoms and showed no signs. I appreciate your comments.

That’s a shame. I got the antibody test because I had traveled to Asia in December/January before the disease was really known. You can call a private doc off base and not use the military health care service. Another way to get a test is to donate blood to the American Red Cross. They test your blood for free! Regardless, thank you for your service - both in uniform - AND in quarantining as the highest level of precaution, even at expense of personal sacrifice of your fathers memorial. It is your thinking of others that makes us think so highly of you!!

It may seem that things are not going your way at the moment, But just keep in mind, your father will always be apart of your heart, the gym will be there hopefully, if you live in a house you can go outside , just put your mask on and sit and relax. There are so many people that have not been as blessed as you have. Count your blessing and be thankful that your wife did not have Covid-19 . You two are very very blessed...Have a great day and go finish what you had started and be blessed in it. Good luck...

So sorry for the loss of your father! Sounds like you are directly feeling some of the changes needing to be made in the funeral industry these days to reasonably protect as many as possible. Many funerals are being live webcast these days? Enjoy your freedom soon And thank you for your service Sir! 🇺🇸

It’s a blessing you had no symptoms-a lot of people can’t say the same

Wishing you the best at this time!
I'll share that I just love the exercise videos on YouTube. Unless you have YouTube on your television you may have to throw your computer somewhere that gives you a little room to move, but you don't need much room.
I adore the Body Project low impact videos, but there are many.

I just don't understand how an asymptomatic could spread the virus... It doesn't make sense in my head. As far as I understand any symptoms is the body's response to fight the infection. Right? 🤔

Like they’ve been saying this since February / March. High number of infections rate, low number of critical responses rate. Like the flu season.

Politicized fake pandemic medical reporting made you another victim.
Others I know said they received notice that they were diagnosed positive when not even tested!
Keep perserving and don't drink the FNM (Fake News Media) koolaid.

When you are able to go out go give blood (plasma or platelets ) at the Red Cross. They (at least in my community) automatically test all the donors for covid antibodies. You can donate platelets every 8 days and plasma every 28 days. You can save lives through your donations and take care of your own health at the same time. Stay safe !
