which has been known to happen or the test is picking up dead viral debris, also known to happen. If you're running a fever, even a low one, and feel ill, it's the former. If not, it's most likely the latter.

Best policy: if you have a fever, stay home. If you have a cough with it, mask up around the spouse.
