Has anyone heard how long COVID will last in orange jelly?

Let me explain...

Ok, so on Thursday we were scheduled to get our Moderna boosters, however on Tuesday we learned someone on the school bus had tested positive. After almost 2 years we just didn’t worry about it. Wednesday morning my wife didn’t feel well, and again we were not too worried. Well by the end of the day we heard someone else was sick, so I ran down to Walgreens and got the home tests. Now I have done this about 20 times and have never seen a positive. 

So I help my wife and it comes up positive. I scratch my head and then do my son. Again, it comes up positive. Ok, now I take it, and it comes up negative and so does my daughter. Ok, so I don’t believe any of this and run down and buy the limit of 4 (2 tests to a box), and I do my wife again and son again. They both come up positive. I run mine again and I am still negative. So far my wife is OK, but we have all heard so many crazy things about COVID, we just don’t know yet. The doctor did prescribe a form of steroids and it seems to have helped. Meanwhile my son has no symptoms. 

Ok, so I found a spoon with what looked like orange jelly on it sitting on the counter, definitely not pineapple. Do I throw away my favorite jelly or wait for the acids to break down the DNA? Or do I just let him eat the whole thing? Life has so many questions.

I will keep everyone apprised of our situation.

Thank you

This dog has been in most of my nightmares lately, which is probably a good thing because that means I am getting some sleep. At about 3:00 in the morning I usually get up to use the bathroom, but I know as soon as I get up, he hears me and wants out of his pen. So, I walk very cautiously and just as I get to the bathroom door the whining starts. Now, I have to take him outside, but all he wants to do is play. Now the other dog is awake, and now that dog wants to go outside.

Meanwhile, my wife is pretending to be asleep, which upsets me because I am the one that usually pretends to be asleep. So by the time I get everyone back in the beds, I am wide awake, and I still never made it to the bathroom.

So it looks like Cooper, the new puppy, could be a sleuth and find all the missing (empty) pineapple cans. This morning he made a bunch of noise and pulled out a spoon and pineapple can lid from underneath the bathroom fixture.

Next I am going to have him smell an empty can and then I will show him pictures of my two kids and then have him smell the pictures. I will have sprinkled pineapple juice on the photos so he associates the kids with the juice. Then I will set the kids up and buy a dozen more cans and if Cooper comes through we may add Holmes to his last name.
