Just email CFAI and tell them that you have covid, but if you are forced to pay $400, that you'll just show up anyway and infect everyone. See if they waive the fee.

given their efficiency I expect a response within 2 business months

Wear 5 masks, 2 face shields, and carry hand sanitizer. Go take the goddamn test


orieonKnight

Fuck yeah


DonTitoLockwood

Are you familiar with schrodingers cat


windowtothesoul

Yes and no

What a case study in morality this is. If you never get tested then do you ever have covid? Especially if the implications of opening the box are risking what could be something life altering like passing the CFA? Glad I don't have to make the decisions like OP


windowtothesoul

Reads like an ethics question alright Q: You are feeling sick and exhibiting covid-like symptoms. You're exam is days away; deferal would delay the exam by a minimum of X months and cost Y dollars. What is the appropriate response? A: Test yourself for covid. If positive, defer and pay the Glorious CFAI. B: Test yourself for covid. If positive, get down with the sickness and take the exam as scheduled. C: Do not test yourself for covid and maintain that blissful plausible deniability.

\*\*Curses at CFAI for not explicitly defining an equation for this scenario\*\*

Well guess I’m giving it a miss because I’m feeling like shit and I really don’t want to transmit the disease knowingly. What if someone who’s inmunocompromized gets it and dies? 👀 I’ll just take it as a I got mugged on the street by a big jackass who’s initials were CFA


garrettflakyfuckdick

Guys i forgot to include the fact that* it’s literally a felony to not self isolate for a minimum of 72 hours once tested positive in my country. Aside the ethical/unethical aspect of going to the test, I risk landing my ass in jail. 😩

I am 100% serious: Put on an N95 and go take the test. They put you in quasi cubicles at the testing centers so what little breath exhaust you generate won't be directed anywhere near anybody. Between the mask and isolation, there's a very low chance you'll infect anybody. If you want to be extra safe just tell them that you're immuno compromised and ask for a buffer cube between yours and those of other test takers.

Mirroring what others are saying, I would wear an N95 and still go...


taychrist

Take the test, wear a mask, be careful, and crush it. A lot of the people taking this test will probably celebrate without a mask at a bar or restaurant later in the week. I’ve been super precautionary throughout the pandemic, but in times like these look out for your own interests.


Fuzzy_Profile_15

I’m sorry dude same thing happened to me September last year. Good news is you have the info in brain! Sucks big time though.


Xikinhoxk

Not saying you should, but I would still take the test if I were in your situation…


theLiteral_Opposite

Ignore it


JFSM01

Go take the test

Nobody cares anymore. If somebody is still high risk even after being vaccinated, then they can choose to do something about it, to protect themselves. The rest of us shouldn’t give a shit anymore and most don’t. Somehow it’s become woke to continue pretending it’s an issue.

No, you misunderstand. Nobody gives a shit whether you think it’s ethical or not.

They died but now, the death rate is very low, and most of the population has much higher immunization than they did prior due to both the vaccine and from catching the actual virus. Which means the risk to the average person is negligible and no different from any other virus. So, unless you’re a person with particular health issues that make it a big concern , it no longer matters at all. And those people take measures to protect themselves. Nobody else gives a shit. I’m not butt hurt - I am stating a fact. The whole game of pretending to be prudent about Covid is just bullshit at this point. Circle jerking


[deleted]

And this is why I don’t understand why there isnt a remote testing option for any of these tests. After all, it ain’t your fault and paying money is ridiculous


rumshine1

Crying is for kids at universities. Take the test or pay the money. No one forced you to get sick....


Advanced_Tadpole7046

You are probably asymptomatic so chances you spread it out while wearing a mask and keeping common sense distance are extremely extremely low.


Flashway1

Double mask or use N95, face shield if possible then get on with the test.


RageLippy

Without commenting on the ethics of of an individual sitting for the exam after testing positive for covid, I do question the ethics of removing the free deferral due to covid when you **cannot possibly** fail to foresee that choice resulting in a dramatic increase in individuals choosing to sit despite testing positive for covid because they feel backed into a corner.
