0 but hoping to get a call back to schedule an appointment soon. Significant fatigue, body aches, congestion, headache, nausea/stomach issues and minor cough the last week or so. Work for the USPS so just kept telling myself it was from being way overworked all month. Now I'm thinking there's got to be more to it the way I've been feeling recently. I could barely muster the energy to push through one of the easier routes we have on Saturday so that was pretty telling.

None, The only potential contact I am aware of was on a Saturday in October. Friend went to work on Monday and her coworker's daughter had tested positive so they had everyone test.
She got her positive result back on Thursday morning and called those of us that she had been around. I self isolated for the next week. Took my temperature daily. Felt fine the entire time.
Donated blood a few of weeks ago and tested negative for antibodies.

Our son was potentially exposed this summer and we found out via DPH contact tracing. Since he's 6 (5 at the time) and is a whirlwind, we all entirely self-quarantined for two weeks - if he had it, surely we all had it. We all got deep nasal swabs at the same time. Here's how the hierarchy of dealing with it went:

10-yr-old daughter - cried for about 20 minutes after.
Janny - didn't cry or anything like that, but clearly did not enjoy it
Me - Was fine (I've had sinus surgery and a ton of nasal scopes, so it wasn't a big surprise)
5-year-old son - LAUGHED the entire time

I've been tested once. I didn't feel well, but no temp. My wife ran a temp with similar symptoms so I got tested and came back positive.

I stay home with my daughter because of CF (cystic fibrosis). We see my family, my wifes family, and my cousin that stays home with her kids. I was tested twice when my wife got it from my cousin and was negative since we isolated from her. We were out of quarantine for 4 days and visited my family. My brother-in-law got it from work and gave it to me. My 3rd test. Luckily my daughter, our vulnerable one, didn't get it even though both my wife and I had it at separate times in November. PS: November was horrible!

6 times.

My son was exposed at school and tested positive, so the rest of us got tested, too.

Also, my folks live in assisted living so I have to be very careful. I don't want to be the person who exposes someone in their facility to it.
