M calls this morning, T tested positive for Covid. T is our usual partner Thursday but wasn’t feeling well so M subbed. Different carts but ate with him afterwards. My husband and I played golf with M Thursday night. M played golf with my husband Tuesday night, same cart. T played golf with M Tuesday morning, same cart. She was told that “mild” means you can still breathe. She didn’t feel well enough to work for two weeks. I kept asking myself “what would I want someone else to do?”ītw, If my assistant had a “mild case” - she was vaccinated - yikes. I don’t know if what we did bucked protocol or not, but it was in my comfort zone psychologically.
I felt we were being conservative? I am not sure what exposure means - whether I was, or whether my family should have been presumptively considered to be. I got a test that Friday while on the trip. We went on the trip Wednesday, 12 days after my potential exposure, with no symptoms and two negative tests. Kiddo got approval from work to come back and we had dinner together again. We did two tests, on Tuesday and Wednesday (day 4 and 5 post-exposure).
We kept our son separated from DH and I, and kept him from going to his job with little kids. What we did: I stopped going into the office. There is no point in getting tested until 3-5 days after exposure because of test sensitivity. But we would be cleared sorta by the Tuesday trip 11 days after my potential exposure. But my family probably wouldn’t be contagious yet if I had. If P was contagious and I picked it up on that Friday, I likely already exposed my family (more likely DH than son) by the time T got his results. So maybe I was exposed? The recommended quarantine period for exposed people is 10-14 days, depending upon your source. It is possible P was contagious on that Friday at the office. Delta appears to have a shorter incubation period, possibly as short as 24 hours because of the high viral load. Do we get tested? Quarantine? Go on the trip?ĭid the best research I could. My son and I had a flight planned the following Tuesday (8 days later). We wear masks in the office and social distance, though not always perfectly. Monday morning he gets the positive test result. He is told by doc it didn’t seem like covid. He stays home from work on Thursday and gets tested. He lives with P, my assistant/receptionist. Our situation is similar enough to your golf cart algebra, though, thought I’d share: T starts feeling sick on a Wednesday. I think whether to test or not is a function of your psychological needs and the likelihood you would expose anyone else in the next few days. M, you and your husband should all get tested more than once, at least 5-7 days after exposure. I mean it is a matter of timing (and degree of contact). The virus does not become weaker as it spreads from person to person so I don’t see how “degrees of separation” are relevant. Thursday glad there were different carts so it comes down to how close contact was, and it still might have been too early for M to be contagious. Tuesday night with T was probably okay because M had just played with T, not enough time for M to become contagious. So now way to know if M was contagious or not. There is no way to know when T was exposed so no way to know when T was contagious. We were relaxed for two days and then he got a motel room and we saw each other outside. I tend to go by the idea that there is no contagion for 2-3 days after another person has been exposed. So maybe getting a test through an MD would be quicker. If there exists no connection, this function returns None.įinally, if there exists a connection, it is displayed in a numbered list stating which two actors worked in which movie.My MD orders PCR tests and even the one that goes deep up into the nasopharynx comes back in a few hours. It then performs BFS, starting from source as root node and stopping when the target node is found. Shortest_path(source, targest) function takes two arguments: source and target. We create a directed graph and perform Breadth-first Search to find the optimal (shortest) path between any two actors. For example, the shortest path between Jennifer Lawrence and Tom Hanks is 2: Jennifer Lawrence is connected to Kevin Bacon by both starring in “X-Men: First Class,” and Kevin Bacon is connected to Tom Hanks by both starring in “Apollo 13.” Solution In this problem, we’re interested in finding the shortest path between any two actors by choosing a sequence of movies that connects them.
