How did you and your spouse handle sleeping arrangements when one of you had COVID?

Honestly, you live together, you're transferring germs and everything almost constantly. 

I never understood spouses or parents that would quarantine in their own homes. 

Kind of like when a child brings home head lice. You have to disinfect and wash EVERYTHING to eliminate the lice. CoVid is so small, you'd have to move out, disinfect everything, wash everything if you truly wanted to quarantine. IMO. 

We did the quarantine thing when Rusty III came down with it early on during the initial freakout phase. 

I'd never had it before that I know of. It was so mild that it didn't occur to me to get tested. The wife had identical symptoms two days ago, felt worse the next day like I did and then feels a lot better today. She did the morning cat chores and is out on the porch drinking coffee and playing on her phone.

It surprised me when she asked me to go find her a COVID test when I was out and about yesterday. The kits were sold out at the first two places I went to, and there were only a few left at the third, which made me realize this new straining is burning through the land right now.

I was seriously thinking about getting the latest vaccine, but now I suppose there's no point.
