Well, after years of avoiding it, including working in a hospital, I just tested positive for Covid. How does a RDOS who goes to the barn get exposed??? I talked to the triage nurse at urgent care and she said I did not need to come in unless I got really bad. Self monitor, isolate and once my fever has been gone for 24 hours I can resume activity. Of course I don’t know if I have a fever because my thermometer is not working. Tomorrow I may go to CVS with a mask on and get a new thermometer.
