Yeah pretty much same! Today I woke up a bit meh, but slept a few hours and woke up like it never happened. I'd say 2 days of lead up, two days of full blown illness, and then more or less fine. A bit of drainage.
I'm in a musical right now and we open tonight, so the timing couldn't have been better. Unfortunately, I'm stuck in Florida for a bit. Trying to do my part to de-shitify it but it's an uphill battle.
I hear you.
I know you didn't ask, but I'm not sure it's safe to go singing in an enclosed space. The 5 day self isolation is for economics, not health. If you knew you were getting other people sick who would get other people sick, would you still do it? No need to answer me, I was just kind of wide-eyed when you said you were going to go be in a musical 5-6 days after you first got sick.
No that's valid and I'm with you 100%. I raised these concerns to the people actually putting up the show and they apparently aren't in a position to be able to cancel or postpone.
I'm taking all the precautions I can to avoid spreading it. Double mask the entire time and isolating myself when not on stage. But I agree with your point. Best would be to not do it at all. But I can't very well just refuse to do it, a lot of people worked really hard and spent money to put this up, and if they want to go ahead with it after I've tested and informed everyone, then so be it.
fair enough. for what its worth, I just took 2 antigen tests and they were both negitive. Its good you were upfront about it. I have to go in for a minor medical procedure on the 14th and I'm calling the office to make sure they're ok I come in. If they say yes, I will go, so like you, I'm leaving it up to them. break a leg :)
All we can do is be open and honest I suppose. Unfortunately the world moved on despite covid not, so it's become harder to walk the line of what you should/and what you need to do. Thanks so much! Good luck with your procedure!
