My bf and I live separately, partly because of COVID (I’m taking more precautions than he does), but I’ve been with him all week because we had to put our cat down on Monday.

Yesterday mid-evening, he starts blowing his nose and saying he feels stuffed up. He was fine up until then.

I have been having a full-blown panic attack ever since. He’s had it 3 times to my 1 but the other times where I didn’t get it, he hadn’t been around me before coming down with symptoms. We were living together at the time but he isolated and I was lucky.

Now I get to spend the next several days worrying that I’m going to get sick. I don’t even know if he has COVID because it’s all but impossible to get tests anymore (and they’re not reliable anyway).
