If the wife will not resent you, stay at home and find the bottom of a bourbon bottle.
Am I a bad person?

Do you get the results on the spot or do you have to mail the q-tip (or whatever that is) to a lab?
I wish more people would be forthright and honest about whether they're positive or not. I understand you staying home 100% but know that's a very tough decision.
Last week I was out west and a cousin of mine I was going to see while there messages me saying they have COVID. Obviously we didn't meet. But that person's sibling also lives there and they weren't aware the sibling was positive. Their parents traveled to see them this week for Xmas and weren't told by my cousin he was positive until they got there AND both of his children also are positive. How in the blue **** do you not tell your 70+ year old parents (both vaxxed by the way) that you and their grandkids are positive before they make the trip?! I know it's the holidays and I know people want to see their families but not being truthful about that blows my ever-loving mind. AND my uncle has several pre-existing conditions and while he's double vaxed he refuses to get the booster. JFC I just don't get it.

Not everyone knows. I never knew I had it until giving blood told me I did months later. My wife had it so I assume I had it at that time.
I realize not everyone knows. But not knowing vs 100% knowing and NOT telling your elderly parents? Not sure how you can think that's ok. Maybe they make a decision to still come and that's fine and their decision, but not telling them before they landed there when knowing for 5 days you had it? Wrong.
Wife got the kit somewhere. Swab, stick it in a sleeve, drop some activator from like a small contact lens solution bottle.
Ok. We had a very intense conversation about being a good person and what that means. It’s about doing the right thing even though it sucks. I went to bed with a loaded up car and disappointed in her. And I told her that. Well she must have called her mom and finally it got across to her. alarm is shut off.
One thing is this year in particular: Xmas is on the weekend so it's not like the typical mid-week break that's a specialty.
I'm not following why people can't just be honest about being positive and reconvene another weekend when things have settled a bit.
So no one is testing positive for Covid, you’re both double vaxxed with booster along with the peoples house you would be going to and somehow you convinced her she is a bad person for wanting to go see her parents over the Holidays? That’s some serious gaslighting.
Well this thread had a decent run until the scientists showed up
I don't think he was gas lighting
He had a serious concern and maybe a false negative.
For me personally, a 12 he drive is too long and far if there's a risk of passing anything on. My mom kept me home from Holiday trips just for a cold so I didn't expose elderly family.
If I understand correctly, they were exposed less than 10 days ago. I wouldn't risk it.

Is that the best sports story of the year?
Top 5?
Two part story that ended with a sports network playing 'Brass Monkey' at commercial break.
I still wear a mask as does my wife and kids. We’ve all been vaxxed and generally avoided gatherings. My son got sick Sunday (tested negative, he had Covid in September) school nurse said the crud is really going around too. And now my wife is sick. Saturday we are headed to NYC for a trip that got cancelled twice already. Sorta feel bad about it but also decided gonna go anyway. Family Christmas isn’t until Jan 2. Figured we’ve been doing what we are supposed to do so why should we keep sacrificing when so many others don’t.
My point is she isn’t a bad person (essentially what he was saying even if indirectly) for wanting to visit her parents over the holidays using the information she had available.
