It’s highly probable I got Covid from an unvaxxed Southwest flight crew. On Sep 10 I had a drink with an unvaxxed and unmasked Southwest crew at the Albany Marriott. ‘Maverick’ and Sonja(?). Being vaxxed I felt safe. Charming and friendly as they were, and a pleasure to chat with. That was my mistake. Although I had 5 (five!) negative Covid tests from Sep 10-13 (due to travel), I tested positive on day 6 (16 Sep) and infected at least one other person on day 5 (I.e., the day before I felt sick). The top doctor on the province in Canada in which I am now quarantined (a bit like house arrest) said that the 10 - 11 was the likely infected. Maverick is the only known unvaxxed unmasked person I came in contact with. Possibly Sonja… I can’t recall. I contacted Southwest to pass the message on to the crew. Exchange with Southwest customer ‘care’ (21 Sep … 2 days after my repeated inquiries) was remarkably unhelpful. I tried to do this directly with Southwest, but now feel obliged to be more public. Maverick’s statement was something like ‘if the good lord wants me to go..’. Sure, ok to decide for yourself BUT NOT FOR ME. And yes, I should have stepped away once I found out vax status, although that was likely too late. Again, it’s likely, but not confirmed, I got it from him/them. But seriously… why take this chance with the health of others?
