The Corona

 Timeline....... A colleague of whom i work in Very close proximity, delegated a text to me at 3:36 friday afternoon that he is not feeling well and has done a corona test. Indifferently alarmed, I began going over Strategy with my wife trying to cover all scenarios.  5:19 Saturday night I get the Text "Positive".  5:23 I convey the News to another colleague who works in the West wing of the 450 Square Office to let him know the status of his Fourth Brother.  Progressively Alarmed, Despite  Not displaying any Symptoms, I scrambled to Schedule a test 9:30 Sunday Morning, Followed by a rapid Test at 11:30 and yet another Test right after that at the Same Location.  Heading off to work I inform an associate picking up boxes of the situation and make sure he does NOT come in the office as i will leave the cases outside for him. Twenty Two Minutes after taking the rapid Test, The Doctor's office calls me that, I was Negative. My caution Dropped to Moderate as I headed home. Around 6:44 Sunday night I began feeling some Chills, And aches. My greatest Fears are going through my mind. Taking Two Tylenol Pm I Struggle to Fall Asleep, As I wait for the Benadryl to kick in. Waking up at 6:43 Monday morning, I still feeling achy and Take Tylenol, Where after about 30 Minutes I feel Well enough to Shower and Pray, I Isolate Myself from my Wife and kid and Anxiously Wait. There are Still no contingent plans as to What we will do, but the Call comes in at 9:57, Positive, at 10:00 Inform the "4th Brothers" Brother. We  Discussed the possible scenarios as to where it could have happened but I was glad he finally agreed with me " That My Body, my Choice" is not really a fair way to assess Ones Refusal to wear a mask. Having to cancel the Nanny, and without anyone besides my wife to watch the kid, I Strapped the N95 Powerful mask rolled down the windows and drove them to Brooklyn to get Tested. After Dropping them off, I Headed back to Isolation in a Private Room in my parents apartment in Brooklyn.....
