Do you have one of those tracking/notification apps on your phone? I do, and got a notification about 15 days after that BBQ, telling me I'd potentially been exposed 8 days earlier. Annoying thing, it said "8 days" but wasn't precise about which day. Did it work out to Tuesday or Wednesday? That Tuesday I'd been near a large group, but outdoors. Wednesday at most I'd been to a grocery store. But I did not get notifications about all of Zane's housemates; perhaps they aren't using the app. On the other hand I talked to a friend who tested positive a day or two after we'd both been at parkrun but not necessarily in proximity for very long. He does have the app, but I didn't get a notification. He thinks it starts from when the positive PCR test is reported; I think that's goofy if true, and that it should backtrack at least 24 hours since aren't people contagious before they show symptoms?
