Convention wrapup

[nosrednayduj]

I continued to have a good time at the square dance convention, so much so that I signed up for next year in San Francisco. There were announcements of people having got Covid, but I crossed my fingers and continued to wear my mask for all dancing. After the announcement, a few more people started wearing masks. I did take it off while I was eating, a few times indoors with other people. I didn't try to do the two-fisted eating thing where you hold your mask in your off hand and stick it over your face every time you want to breathe in, using the dominant hand for wielding your fork.

Last night, 36 hours after getting food from a buffet line where there was no splatter shield, I had the incredible barfs. This is consistent with norovirus incubation time. I'm feeling better this morning, but I'm being cautious about what I eat. I just took a Metrix (nucleic amplification) Covid test on my housemate's suggestion, because pretty much anything can be a symptom of Covid, and it was negative. (I did take a Covid test when I arrived home, but I wouldn't have really caught it yet then. And apparently I haven't caught it yet now either.)
