What did you do prior to leaving? Where did you go in general?

Could it be a simple cold / flu?
Has your wife tested positive too?
Please keep us posted on your symptoms if you have the time to do so.

Happy to reply... Not that we know of, but again, we just found out a few hours ago.
When you ask prior to leaving? Do you mean for the trip to desire? Nothing out of the ordinary. We live in a state that has not been hit all that hard, but has had restrictions in place.
Where did we go in general? Please clarify the question...

Yeah sorry I didn’t make that more specific. Did you go anywhere at HOME like out to dinner? To a more liable place of contagion that’s inside.
See here’s the confounding factor here for those that aren’t in the healthcare field or research: The FLU and COVID are now in opposite directions. Flu cases from influenza are now 9x’s what they were last year this time versus Covid. Seems Corona sort of took the center stage from about OCT on. Secondly, corona is a lot of different viruses and the one you got might be different than the one she got. Hard to believe, but its happened all over. Secondly, if she tested positive, then the chances are she tested positive for corona but not variant 19. THe serological tests are looking for IgM and IgG antibodies, but false positive rate is really high. Because many other corona viruses hit that antibody target. It’s about cross reactivity.
RT-PCR is much better but it cannot distinguish between replicating virus stage and remnants of viral DNA/RNA.
My son had an antigen test in Bloomington on Tuesday as we checked him in to college at IU. I laughed as he got the nasal swab because that test has a high false negative rate on active infections. While its fast, its also not picking up people who have an active infection and aren’t symptomatic.
So...I’m left wondering if no one was showing symptoms, where you got this from. If the staff is doing a great job and are eliminating surface contact as a transmission vector, if no one you interacted with has it, where is came from is a mystery unless it was the plane flight.
Please understand I am not blaming you or anyone else for that matter, but I am flummoxed at how, assuming everyone is doing everything they can to avoid it (masking, distancing) prior to arrival, that cases are coming from the trip, albeit in small cohorts, but still. I wish you well and hope everyone is fine.
To the rest of you going, as well as we, please see to it you boost your immune system prior to arrival. I promise you you won’t regret it.
3-4 gr Vit C
24mg Vit A and Zinc, as well as some others.
its a start and will help ensure you have a healthy trip.
