We had an email on Monday saying that several people staying in north housing (where I was) had tested positive to COVID. I was tried and had a headache, but I put that down to the long hours at IC, not COVID symptoms. Tuesday, I had the full shebang. Headache, Fever, Cough etc. So with some trepidation I took a RAT test, but it was negative. So I though, maybe it&#8217;s just the flu. But after a horrible Tuesday night trying to sleep and still having definite COVID symptoms on Wednesday I wanted to ignore it, but I decided to do the right thing and take a test. You can see the result on the left. So this catapulted me from one more night in Boston to five days of isolation and then another five til I can travel (from the date of the first symptoms, so Sunday). Not fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll tell you about my revised trip plans, and all the cancellation and isolation fun in a later post, as I still have IC stories to catch up on, but wanted to give this update first.
