vacation. Their plane went through Liberia, LAX and SEATAC. Found out 20 minutes before our session was over. I didn't touch any doorknobs, used my paper towel I keep in my purse, and sat probably 5-6ft away from her during our session. She assured me her and her husband have followed strict protocols and have been checking their temps three times a day. All the precautions I've taken, social distancing, and then... Boom, my therapist springs this on me today 3/4 through our session. She's going to alert me if she or her husband develops a fever, I work Saturday and Sunday, am responsible for my 76 y/o diabetic sister... that's too late for me to know if I've been exposed.
And of course now that I've told the middle sister, I'm hearing nothing but screaming conspiracy theories about new world order, lab created shit and the statistics aren't as bad as the flu, but they want us to believe it's worse they created this virus to stop riots. They want to shoot and kill us if we take to the streets. omg, she's pacing up and down the hall and screaming. Okay, redirection.

story, although I highly doubt the authenticity of the story. Nonetheless, it was the scariest thing I have ever read.

(11,443 posts)I am sure many go to her for anxiety and this does the opposite of calming down.
But she probably thought, i have done all the tests I am healthy.

(11,761 posts)so I'm laid off.
One client I just called to let know I was exposed to out of country exposure and will learn if I'm laid off in the morning.
I'll be able to make my bills this month, but not next.
Plus. I am already missing my client who is 89 blind with post polio syndrome. She means the world to me. I'm heartbroken and in tears.
