I woke up this morning to these messages from my housemate:
I’ve been wearing a mask as I’ve been preparing breakfast , which is good because when I got back to my room y covid test had finished and I think it’s positive.

So yeah. I’ll test again later but I think I have it. The line is faint, but it’s there
And then after I'd replied, she said:
I hope you stay healthy. I tested on Wednesday and it was negative. Only a faint line today so hopefully a low viral load still. My coteacher also tested positive (not the one who had it last week, the other one)
I think she means two weeks ago (it was Sept 18 that she messaged me "Just FYI- my coteacher tested positive for covid today. I tested negative at work [...]") but anyway...

She's getting Paxlovid, etc.

I'm WFH today, but have been largely masking in the house, and she's been largely staying in her room. The unseasonably warm weather means I've had a bunch of windows in the house open the last couple days, and I left them open today (though I'll shut them before I leave for Abby's this evening, since it's gonna cool off and stay cool).

I just rapid tested negative, but I definitely feel good about having gotten boosted 2 weeks ago (and glad I'll be out of the house for the next few days).

The Southern New England Conference of the UCC [SNEUCC] is hosting a "2023 Justice Summit on Trans & Nonbinary Belonging in the Church" tomorrow, and the email they sent yesterday with info includes (emphasis in original):
Covid Precautions

With Covid cases rising, we are especially aware of the need to keep one another safe. If you can, please plan to take a covid test on Friday or Saturday morning. If you are feeling unwell, or if your risk has changed, you can join us online. Please email [redacted] to receive the zoom links instead. 

Masks remain optional for SNEUCC events, though we strongly encourage you to bring a mask. There will be a masks-required section of the sanctuary, and we ask everyone to be mindful of others' needs by putting on your mask when speaking to or sitting near someone wearing a mask.
I have so much eyeroll at how apparently no one will institute a mask mandate.

Like, I'm used to being nearly the only person masking at work, at church, in stores, etc. But when event organizers (indoor theaters, etc.) are like, "Covid cases are on the rise, so we recommend personal responsibility, but we will not be mandating masks at our indoor events..."
