your partner not wanting you to engage in unhealthy behavior (regular drug use, drinking, poor handling of money, hanging around with negative influences, etc) is not being controlling.
I SAID WHAT I SAID
YOU CANNOT be “cleared” for a gathering by a negative COVID test
1) Might be too early in course to detect virus
2) ~20% of tests are false negatives
3) You could become infected literally 0.1 seconds after your swab
Sincerely,
An increasingly desperate ER doctor
