Quarantine Day 3
I think I cursed myself yesterday with all my delivery excitement. No breakfast, no lunch and only dinner because I asked… twice. Thank goodness for snacks. And wine. Still, even without deliveries I snuck in some excitement with a trip to the medical centre. Rode the elevator with a few other containees (that’s what we are called on the signs downstairs) and started chatting to one woman, also on day 3. Her story was kinda terrible but interesting nonetheless:
She went for a job interview with the CEO of a company, (who had arrived back from the UK the day before and was flouting quarantine rules), he came down with symptoms and was tested positive the next day. She was told of couple of days later that she was a close contact, her GP did the finger-prick test which came back positive so she immediately got put into hospital. As she told it: she was in a room by herself which she was not allowed to leave and there was no bathroom, only a bucket which they said they would empty on request but did not always do so. Poor lady. She tested negative 3 times in hospital so then they let her out and put her in quarantine camp instead. I didn’t get the rest of the story details as I got called up to the doctor’s desk.
All the doctor did was take my form with my details on it where I said I had no symptoms, checked my HKID and told me that the public health people would call me every now and then to see how I am doing. I enjoyed a bit of outdoors on a very slow walk back to the building I am in.
I also got a random knock on my door and my temperature taken this afternoon some time, no explanation, nor did they tell me what my temperature was, he just said “ok” then walked off.
The day flew by overall actually, watched a zoom-improv show from Canada while I worked out this morning, busy-as day at work and played games on zoom with workmates after work - boom - day 3 in the bag!
Also caught up with my other half of course, he is still doing great, no symptoms, and feeling mentally well too. He is really good at sleeping at the best of times and living in a bed makes it even easier! So he is sleeping his way through a lot of the day, which is probably good both for passing time and also letting the body fight the bits of virus that are still hanging around. He got a chest x-ray yesterday but apart from that no more tests or results or anything on that front.
