I tested positive today,

[PA_jen]

I am so freaking careful. but Saturday we went to get the taxes done -hubby and I. Place was in the grocery store and I had hope to drop off the information get some groceries circle back to sign the forms and leave but the rep insisted we sit and go thru all the steps. I figure I am in my KN 95. I shower as soon as I get home.

This morning I was up with a sore throat and cough, and it doesn't feel like my normal sinus drainage sore throat. Took the test and I am positive. Lucky for me I am working from home. Unlucky for my husband who had to report I am sick he now has the rest of the week off. No symptoms.

[PA_jen]

19. Thank you

[wnylib]

18. Hope you recover soon from a mild case.

Must be really frustrating to be so careful and still get sick. Makes me nervous every time I hear about someone carefully wearing an N95 and taking precautions but still testing positive.

Since you wore an N95, there's a chance that it screened out enough virus that you only got exposed to a low dose.

[PA_jen]

21. Thank you. I hope so too.

[Duncanpup]

20. Here is hoping it's mild

[PA_jen]

22. They have been so far knock on wood.

[NNadir]

23. It happened to me too.

It felt like a bad cold; my wife insisted I get tested, and I came back positive.

Omicron escapes, in many cases, vaccine antibodies but usually the disease is mild as the T-cells pick up the slack.

I was mildly ill, like a bad cold, for 3 or 4 days, and got over it quickly.

Hopefully yours will go like mine or better.

[PA_jen]

34. Thanks. I'm glad you got over it too.

[iemanja]

24. I'm so sorry

Look after yourself.

[SheltieLover]

25. Wishing you a quick, ful recovery

[MLAA]

26. Wishing you light symptoms that pass quickly!

[mchill]

27. Can I ask you?

Was your KN95 mask on the list of CDC approved ones? Im very surprised, assuming your mask fit well, that you got COVID. Hope it is a mild case for you.

[liberal_mama]

30. I'm curious to know if it was an approved KN95 too!

I bought a bunch of KN95 masks from Amazon that turned out to be poor quality fakes. There is a guy on YouTube that tests all the masks on Amazon and some of the ones I bought had horrible filtration.

[PA_jen]

35. I'm not sure. I bought these mask from Amazon 3 months before Omicron hit. They came from japan

which surprised me.

you taught me something I didn't know about the CDC approved list. believe I will be using that list for sure.

[George II]

28. Fully vaxxed? If so hopefully you'll only be uncomfortable for a few days. Take care.

[ificandream]

29. Hope you recover soon. Question: Did the rep have a mask on?

[orleans]

31. that's what i was wondering too

i'm guessing the rep was not masked -- and that is why op needed to shower when she got home, and why she tried calling rep 3 times and left a message.

[PA_jen]

36. Unfortunately the Rep was mask said she was fully vaxed nd boosted. She did feel the need to

wear a mask. unfortunately, in Western PA lots of people running around without mask. The grocery store I might have counted 6 people wearing masks.

[orleans]

32. i would have said: "can you put a mask on?"

we don't have to be nice or polite about this shit--it's a fucking pandemic!

was it a home test? if so then maybe take another one (false positives)

hope you don't have covid

if you do i hope you have an easy time with it and get through it quickly

[PA_jen]

37. I should have been more instant I will take the blame, but I am deep red section of PA.

yes 2 home test both positive.

Thanks.

[Hortensis]

39. Maybe, but we're at a time when mask wearing is being discontinued.

We're wearing K95s because we're both high risk in spite of vaccination, and I believe I would have done as you did. So, definitely thanks for sharing your experience, Jan. Believe me, I noticed and told my husband.

[Hortensis]

33. Hope you had a good night and will do well today.

[PA_jen]

38. Thanks. I did okay today.
