Guess I survived the Crappie Expo

[Moveon]

While working the Crappie.com and Pico booths and filling in for a few minutes for Mark at Cornfield Crappie Gear, a lot of folks wearing and not wearing masks came by. I think the public was pretty compliant while walking around the displays. I wore my mask any time I was walking around but not so much when working the booths. Maybe more at Crappie.com out of respect and concern for Slab’s situation.
I was sick at my stomach Tuesday but no other symptoms. Vicki and I decided a Covid test was probably in order just to be sure. A local pharmacy offers rapid testing and our insurance pays for it.
I was tested a couple hours ago and was notified of a NEGATIVE test a bit later. I’m very grateful. This was my 4th test.

Those Abbott Labs rapid test only have a sensitivity rating of 85%. That means that it missed 15% of the time. That is to say you can test negative and still have the virus. The PCR test is much more accurate and reliable.

And the fact remains that we are in much greater mortal danger driving back and forth than being around a group of people, with or without mask. Life is short, use the time you have left to live...

Yep, I tested negative too. Glad you did too, and thank you so much for helping out. It was a good time, but coulda been better had we not had the stinking virus thing going on!
