Let's stay healthy

[smokin joe]

I am going to suggest that all of us that are going on this hunt get a Covid-19 test a week or so before departing. Walgreens and CVS Pharmacy are offering the tests for free, so it is very easy to do.

Here are my reasons:
1. If my test comes back negative,I probably won't get sick in Laredo and I won't infect you.
2. If my test comes back positive I will stay home where I can get good treatment, and i won't infect any of you.
3. The last thing you want to do is get sick in camp, and end up in a Laredo hospital far away from your family.

I am serious about this because we lost a family member to Covid-19. He came down with what he thought was a cold and died in an intensive care unit in less than a week.

I will get tested to protect you and to make sure I don't get sick in camp. Let’s all get tested just to stay safe.

Come on, fellas. Let's get everyone to commit to a pre-hunt test for Covid-19. The tests are free at CVS and Walgreen's. I am sure that other pharmacy chains offer free tests too.

Let's stay healthy and have a great hunt.

I just received the results of my Covid-19 test. I am negative, no sign of covid. I will also have an antibody test before I depart to make sure there is no chance that I have had asymptomatic covid.
