Long story short about being exposed to covid... I went to a music festival with a group of about 12 friends (don't recommend lol) and luckily the festival did require vaccinations to get in and we are all vaccinated! But sadly, one of our friends did contract covid so we all isolated and got tested several times after finding out. I was freaked out because my mom was flying in from Seattle THAT night and she's more susceptible. I was negative right away but knew it could be too early to test so I tested 3 more times after that and dewspite having massive cold symptoms all week, I was still negative! However, 5 of the people in our group ended up ultimately testing positive. What was crazy is... all 5 of them had not had covid before and the ones who did, didn't get it again! So strange.
