Files, I had to take a Covid test Thursday as a pre-screen for a medical procedure I was supposed to have this coming Wednesday.  At work yesterday I saw the emailed results.  Despite being a fully vaccinated Covid survivor, I tested positive.  As my infection was more than 3 months ago, there is zero CDC guidance on what I have to do.  I immediately left the building for the safety of others, then started calling my care providers.  The best I could get was from the surgeon himself who stated that his medical opinion is this is continued remnant shedding from my infection 6 months ago, and am not infectious or infected; but the procedure will have to be postponed 4 weeks due to anesthesiologist's policy.  He then left for the day.  HR wants something in writing in order for me to come back to work, and I can't reach him again until Monday.  I was able to reach my Primary Care, and they say I have to quarantine for 2 weeks again!  I got fed up with the inability to reach the surgeon's office in the afternoon, so I went somewhere locally for another test.  Rapid is negative, but they want me to isolate until the PCR results are back.  QUITE FRUSTRATING AT THIS POINT!

Yeah, that would suck.  

They're saying this is all over and masks aren't needed, which is tough for me to believe that it all went away so quick, and I'll keep wearing masks just because, like I said, I'm dead if I get it, even though I'm vaccinated.

It is hilarious how quickly this all of the sudden disappeared.
