Every time I've gotten together with my family for Christmas the past few years, a very virulent infection has ripped though the household, getting everyone sick within a week, and taking me out of commission for a large part of the trip. Every time I think to myself, "this is it, we all got COVID. I can tick off the symptoms." None of those times were COVID (as confirmed by PCR tests). More recently I was getting ready to go meet a newborn family member. I felt a little off so I took a Rapid Test. Guess what? I had COVID. That Rapid Test stopped me from introducing COVID into a household with a newborn baby and parents trying to stay healthy to take care of their newborn baby.
