I Had a Runny Nose, and I Was Quarantined

I failed the test. I had both a runny nose and congestion, so I failed. Each morning, I am required to complete a checklist assessment of my health in order to be permitted on our school’s campus. I was honest. I checked the symptoms. And, as the plan would have it, I received an immediate automated reply that I am quarantined from school until I receive results from a covid-19 test.
