DS #1 Tested June 27, Results June 28, mild symptoms lasted only a short time, mostly loss of stamina. That will be a problem.
DW Tested July 5, Results July 10, mild symptoms July 3, nothing since
cb7893 Test July 6, Results July 8, average cold symptoms

DS #1 was not in a position to question Army Protocols

DW works at store that did not go the Costco, Menards route requiring all to wear masks. Bless her Polish heart, she didn't hesitate to chastise customers not wearing masks.

I was very observant, but not absolutely 100%. Worst part is calling friends and neighbors with whom I had contact and informing them. They all have been or are being tested today, based on protocols.

Protocols? I know. What protocols? There sure aren't any for testing.
 
Best wishes to you and your family that all progresses well through recovery with time. SERE is a hard enough experience without outside influences, and I hope your son gets back to where he’s back in training and able to finish out his pipeline In a timely fashion.

Best wishes for speedy recovery and no lingering symptoms.
 
I thank everyone for the good wishes.

DW and I may be in a “high risk” age group, but we are very healthy and active. That goes for DS as well. Symptoms have been mild.

I posted earlier out of frustration with the protocols and process for testing and reporting. I consider ourselves lucky compared to others. We live in state which is not overburdened with cases, so we feel for those who cannot make that claim.

Mostly, I want to encourage everyone to be careful. We thought we were. We were never concerned about our health, but rather the health and life disruption we might possibly inflict others. Believe me, waiting to hear the test results of those with whom we had contact is worse than the wait for our own.

Thank you again!

Thank you.

As of now this looks like a cheap lesson. It came at the end so no one will have to repeat and there are no reports of serious health issues. It would make a perfect homogeneous control group for the epidemiologists.
 
Glad to hear that you're all okay.
 
An almost two week process for us, obtaining a test after a close personal contact with an asymptomatic positive. It took forever to obtain a testing slot. Once that finally happened, the testing was smooth and results were back about 24 hours later.

I get exactly what you mean about notifying people. That WAS the hardest part. And we, too, are super careful. It doesn't take much to be ‘the one’. It also amplified to me, how dependent we are on others. On THEIR actions. Our responsibility to others. That positive exposure person to tell us...us to tell others. How much we depend on others to do “the right thing”. It was quite eye opening to actually experience it.

We got our results back late last night...both negative. But what an experience to go through. And that’s not even a positive.

Lastly, it’s scary to me to see random “seemingly fit, young and healthy people” actually die. While it is in common, it happens

We all have a part to play! I see Anne Arundel CO, MD has issued a mandate for masks, even while outdoors now. And USNA parents weekend officially suspended indefinitely. Dominos continue to fall...
 
I am a happy Anne Arundel Countian and Marylander. The Gov put the hammer down hard and early, focusing on the numbers. I am grateful he is a final-term Governor, so political pressures don’t seem to play as big a role. I loved it when we moved forward into the indoor restaurant distanced seating phase, and when asked at a press conference whether he would be going out to eat and sitting inside, he responded “no, as a recent cancer survivor, that is not the right choice for me. People need to weigh their choices and personal risk carefully.”

This is good to hear. One of my friends was dropped for medical reasons a couple years ago halfway through the course and ended up as a day zero recycle because they pulled her a couple hours before the mark needed to do a partial recycle. She was less than thrilled to say the least. Great school though. Never want to repeat it, but great school.
 
Sorry to hear, hopefully they feel better and make a full recovery.
