Wandering Adventure Party

@johnbrowntypeface@spore.social My spouse (they were just my partner then) and I were living in Seattle at the beginning of the outbreak and I am quite certain they caught COVID and that I also did: their symptoms were a dead match for it, including pneumonia.I tried to get tested for it, and someone swabbed me. The doctor came in later, angry, asked if I had been swabbed, then had them throw it away because the CDC or whatever was angry they were testing too many people for COVID. They were limiting tested based on analytical criteria such as whether you had personally been to Wuhan, and not on whether your symptoms matched.I get that testing capacity was limited but. And this was in an area with a known COVID outbreak...
