I can't believe I haven't gotten it yet.
Oh shit, I wish you hadn't said that!
¯_(ツ)_/¯
It's ridiculous I made it this long, honestly.
You’ve had it, just tested negative… I tested negative last week but there’s no doubt. I had the closest to the classic symptoms…

I do the CVS tests, which differentiates between vaccine antibodies, and infection antibodies. Not even a trace of the latter.

"Call Mike from down the street and advise."
"You got it. Just curious though: Who the fuck is Mike, which house, advise on what, what's his phone number?"
No response.
I had another neighbor's phone number from a pizza order 2.3 years ago. They helped me figure it out. Mike's a crazy reclusive car guy who was picking up their mail. He doesn't do phones so someone had to walk over there and give him the lowdown. He said fine.
Typical.

You can do that online with the post office. Easy peasy.
Yes. It helps to know what the ask even is, though.

I concur with my colleague.

Still possible, but all at-home and blood antibody tests have been negative. I mean, literally all of them. Are the blood tests as unreliable as the at-home?

Your stoner parents took a cruise trip, and now have COVID in Amsterdam ...
Give me a couple days to process each piece of this, Aqua. This creates so many questions.
Hope they are better soon!

Nah. I know better than to ask, even internally.
Thanks for the well-wishes.

Quick update: they're still in Amsterdam. They should've left five days ago, but they keep testing positive so they can't get on a flight. The hotel they were staying at learned what was up with them and kicked them out, so they were "homeless" for something like 16 hours before finding somewhere else to stay. Took another PCR test, still positive. And got kicked out of their place again. ("No vacancy" but according to my dad, all but 3 rooms on their floor were empty.) So they're in a third hotel, and rebooked flights for the 14th. Fuckin' hell.
Spoke to my mom last night. She sounds like shit. Not "hospital" bad, but still pretty nasty.
@George-K @bachophile @jon-nyc Any of you guys have experience getting/sending meds in foreign countries? I don't think they packed for nearly so long a trip, so wondering how this might work.
Please love yourself.

On the homelessness! These people who kicked them out, did they have any advice about where they were to go??? And where did they go?
I see why the proprietors booted them -- sort of, it seems like they could have sequestered them somehow. It's not like the pandemic sprang into existence last week. But it still sucks.

I get it too, but at this stage I don't know how necessary it was.

They're not seeing a doc—some B.S. about insurance and int'l coverage (did they not check beforehand?). But yeah they're out of their antidepressants. Which, great.

Do they have any at home or do they need to have their prescription filled?
