Well, despite her mother’s and my reservations, my daughter flew to Nebraska to spend a week visiting a friend in Lincoln. She came back sick with a runny nose and a cough. She tested herself three times in recent days for Covid and the tests were negative. She’s going to take the Vault test next.

Her mother just got back from picking her up at the airport and dropping her at her apartment. According to my wife, my daughter was triple-masked for the flight and the ride from the airport, and they drove with all the windows down. My wife’s researching acquiring a Vault test, and will shortly be locking herself away in her realms. My son and I will be hiding out in our respective retreats in the house and minimizing contact - especially unmasked - with my wife for a few days.

I’m hoping what my daughter has caught isn’t Covid, but given the prevalence and transmissibility of Omicron, it wouldn’t surprise me.
