No posts this week because I was in the isolation unit at Peace Corps after having tested positive for Covid last Sunday. Peace Corps sent a driver to pick me up on Monday morning and the kept me sequestered as per CDC guidelines for 5 five days. I will have to wear a mask for an additional 5 days. It was a very mild case and I’m fine.

The isolation unit is nicknamed “the Covid jail,” but it’s pretty nice. I ordered out, mostly Indian, each day. I had the space all to myself and finished Karen Blixen’s ‘Out of Africa.’ Still, it’s getting towards the end of the semester and I felt guilty about being away from school, but there was no way around what the Peace Corps doctors order you to do.
