I just sent off an email requesting to be included in the NIH study as well.

Hubby and I have been self-isolating (together) since March 15th... well before our county was reporting ANY COVID-19 cases and back when nearby Austin was only reporting a very few cases.

Hubby is a retired virologist so VERY cognizant of bio-hazard safety procedures and we've been very strictly following all protocols for avoiding exposure since starting our isolation.

Therefore, by all reasonable expectations, I SHOULD test negative. Not gonna enroll hubby because a) he is terrified of needles and b) whatever my status is, his is undoubtedly the same since we've been pretty much cheek-to-jowl 24/7 for the last month.

IF I'm positive, the most likely place I'd have picked up the virus would have been during a folk music conference in New Orleans in late January (or on the flight to/from it).
