Covid? Not sure. I work in a hospital ER in southern NJ. I'm a porter. We're like a bomb disposal unit you might say. Yeah, the doctors and nurse deliver the patient care but nothing happens unless rooms get cleaned and sanitized, the linen get collected, cleaned and send back up, the trash and hazardous waste has to dealt with. In the process of my job back on the 19th. of this month I was informed by my department head that I had been exposed to Covid-19 on four different occasions.

Last Saturday I was given a rather painful but quick nose swab and the results were told to me today. I tested positive for Covid-19 but I'm ‘’asymptomatic’’ which means I haven't ‘’presented’’(some doctor lingo for you) any systems because so far I haven't any. But as a precaution I have had to have my temperature taken twice a day. So far it's been normal. My doctor told me apparently I have ‘’strong antibodies’’. He also told me there could be a very distinct possibility because of my apparent strong immune system I may be able, though a blood donation, be helpful in providing a vaccine or cure.

wow I’m sorry to hear this but happy you aren’t experiencing symptoms! You are one of the few here that I have heard actually has it...

Cool. My understanding is you’d need to wait 3 weeks after testing negative. Is that correct?
