I tried to talk her out of it. I did.
I told her I could go to the butcher for her. I told her she could borrow my respirator if she really wanted to inspect the available Passover briskets herself. She wouldn't listen. All she listened to was the last-ditch attempt to at least get her to wear our last medical-grade surgical mask. It does not appear to have been enough.
It might be a cold. She says it feels the way a cold feels to her.
We'll find out.

Meta-Boss seems to be upset that I gave him only 4.5 hours' notice of not being able to work this week. As if it were up to me. As if I wanted this.
He can blame the government if he likes: they *have* tightened the rules on when asymptomatic housemates need to quarantine. It looks like it might be specific to higher-risk zones like ours: the province-wide stuff is still saying self-monitoring, while the county-level stuff says to self-isolate.
