Mine came back negative, and honestly, I don't know what I could have done to be more exposed to the virus, short of taking my lunch breaks in an ICU. It makes zero sense that I (allegedly) haven't been exposed, but some 94 year old lady in one of the state's rural counties gets it and dies. Maybe she liked the slots more than me?

Seriously, this is another reason most people need to relax about their risk and accept that the opportunity for containment is long gone. On the other hand, we absolutely need to figure out why vulnerable populations are getting infected during a lockdown and how to actually protect/treat them. Just don't ask Gov. Cuomo for ideas.
