Three positive tests today

[Fluidic Kimbo]

So I'm at the tail end of my 2-month holiday. I spent 7 weeks in the Canaries, and now a week in Germany. I managed to go this long without catching Covid. I even went into the world's biggest naked sauna complex for the last 4 days in a row, having to take a test at the entrance every 2nd day. All went fine. I've had a good vacation.

So I fly home tomorrow back to Ireland, and I start my new job at 9:30am on Monday morning.

So the complication now is that I have tested positive today. To be sure, I went to two other test centres. All three tests today were positive. By German law, I should now go tell my hostel that I'm positive and then they'll move me to the shittest room by myself to rot away and have an implosive nervous breakdown for 2 weeks.

I did need a negative test to fly home to Ireland, but literally just today the Irish law changed and I don't need a negative test.

So I need to keep this a secret til I land in Ireland tomorrow evening.

I'm not being a total asshole about this though, I'm at least wearing my mask and not walking within a few metres of the elderly. But I'm sure as fuck not missing my first week in my new job while I spend 24 hours a day in a shit room. No.

I'll say this much though:

Even though I've had two vaccination shots, my chest is still pretty stuffed up, I'm getting cold chills while sweating, and I can't pop my ears. My cough was pretty bad yesterday too.

I don't wanna know how bad I would have been if I'd never been vaccinated.

Just now I used cotton cue tips to push vaseline up my nose and coat the inside of my nose, and then I went to the pharmacy for them to swab my nose. I'll know in about 15mins if I have a negative test result.

The vaseline worked. My result is negative.

My plane just landed in Ireland. Now I need to make my way to luggage collection, then passport control. They'll want to see my vaccination certificate but It's looking like I'm gonna get away with this.

Not sure if the German government is going to contact the UK and be like "One of your people tested positive here and got on a plane anyway".

Got through passport control.

Now just two guards stand in my way for customs. Then I walk to my car in the carpark.

Just checking, so you knowingly traveled even though you tested positive w/Covid. And you faked your final Covid test so that it would come out negative? Or did I read something incorrectly?

[Fluidic Kimbo]

You understand correctly.

I'm at my friend's house in Dublin now. I got away with it.
