I don't know the details of your encounter other than it was a meeting of 20. I'm kind of puzzled as to why the meeting was so important during this time, or whether no one took the virus seriously and now suddenly have seen the light. 20 people meeting together? Personally, I have no problem with it since we have seen incidents of many more demonstrating or going to rallies. But, I wonder if or why someone would not wear their mask IF they were inside with so many. And IF that person did wear a mask, then why be so concerned. If you go shopping, you do not know if anyone in the store that you may pass is infected. Of course, like someone else mentioned the CDC says you can't or are unlikely to catch the infection by a minute contact or in passing someone that is infected.
I still don't see why you are concerned if you went to the meeting of 20 folks where you had no idea of the possibility of whether or not one or more might be carrying the virus. I doubt I pass that many folks when shopping in Publix.
I hope that I do not sound like I am condemning your action, because I am not. I am just interested in WHY someone that is in many of these conversations, does not have an idea of how they should handle the situation. Still not condemning.
Since I am out and about at least once or twice per week and around strangers that may or may not be infected, I am not about to get tested on a weekly basis. But, that is just me. Remember, a test is only good for the instant that you are tested; not after the test is taken. For all we know, you could contract the infection at CVS right after you the test is taken.....or where ever you get tested. Apology for sounding gloom and doom. But, for your own peace of mind it won't hurt you (much) to get tested. I don't know if being tested will put mind at ease, but for some it might have the placebo effect.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do. Personally, I wouldn't listen to anyone on here. I would be asking my doctor for advice on how to proceed IF I was concerned.
