privilege, checked


Someone has been issuing a reminder, on campus ... But among all the obvious privileges that I possess, let's not overlook that of working for a very Covid-aware university, with a medical school and lots of labs, and where one can go and get a free PCR test and get the results the same day (and, yes, where I have the kind of employment that means I can take the time off to go and deliver my little test tube of saliva).  Both Alice and I have been feeling - not sick, exactly, but under the weather this week - scratchy/sore throat, itchy eyes, general fatigue - and at this point it's easy to believe one's nose is runny, etc.  So it seemed wise to be tested.  Both our tests came back negative, so even if there was something mild going on at the beginning of the week, nothing now.  It felt good to be on campus, however briefly (we went for a walk round it - it was so empty) - but so tantalizingly unlike normal.
