COVID/MEDICAL
I Had COVID a Week Before I Knew, and Infected a Few People I Love
Including my 18-month-old great niece
My one-year-old great-niece got COVID thanks to me.
On October 4th, I went to the county courthouse with a group of 50 people after receiving a summons calling me for jury duty.
This appointment would narrow down the qualified participants.
Many of us would be dismissed.
I had two trips and a lot of holiday celebrations planned during the jury duty commitment from October 29, 2022, to December 29, 2022.
Three months!
I did NOT want to serve.
I checked in to the jury room, was given a number, and sat amongst a large group of other numbered people.
I started experiencing a runny nose about 15 minutes after. No one wore a mask as they were not required at the courthouse.
Immediately I put one on and had to go out into the hall several times to blow my nose.
What the heck??
I was fine before I walked into that building.
