I went on vacation to Traverse City, MI on 7/25 - 8/3. During my stays in Traverse City my cousin whom I was staying with fell very ill and got tested for covid. The day her results came back positive I also fell very ill. I came back home to West Dearborn in Wayne county and tested positive for covid through my pcp on 8/4. I got a call from WCHD notifying me that I had been exposed to covid the day my results had already came back positive on 8/5. I believe the lady who called me is named Kelly. I asked her about protocol and the details about what I should do and she literally told me someone will call you . She showed zero compassion and total lack of any knowledge on what I needed to do. Today it is 8/8 and I received a call from JACKSON COUNTY HEALTH DEPT to instruct me on what I needed to do. I have been a resident of Dearborn for the last 5 YEARS. Why is jackson county health dept and the grand traverse health dept calling me everyday to check on me and instructing me on what I need to do when A). I haven t lived in jackson for 5 years nor have I visited in at least 5 months and B). I don t live in Traverse city Nor have I ever? WHY IS WAYNE COUNTY WHERE I OBTAIN RESIDENCY AND A CAREER AND HAVE PAID TAXES FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS NOT CALLING ME? I would hate to think this is normal behavior out of WCHD. I would especially hate to think that I am not the only victim of this global pandemic in this county, who s case is being thrown around from county to county and taken so lightly by the very county in which I live. This is completely unacceptable.
