Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic Answers.

I have resisted the urge to talk about coronavirus for a while now, but I can't do it any longer.

Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast.

I'm your host, Catholic Answers, a polygist and speaker, Trent Horn.

And on Tuesdays and Thursdays, we talk about apologetics, theology, how to explain,

and last week's podcast, Laura came in with Mr. John Paul, so cute, talking about his birth

just a few days earlier.

So we unexpectedly gave birth to John Paul at home.

And one of the reasons I think that contributed to us unexpectedly giving birth at home

was because we didn't want to go into the hospital until the very last minute because

of their COVID-19 policies.

And the specific policy is this, when we went into the hospital, after we gave birth at home

went into the hospital.

Laura was given a rapid COVID-19 test, one that you get the results back in 30 minutes.

And the policy was this, that if she tested negative, she didn't have to wear a mask and

I was allowed to stay.

However, I saw to wear my mask.

Now did that make sense though?

I mean, if I live with Laura and she's COVID-19 negative, what are the odds that I'm going

to be COVID-19 positive when we live together and she's negative?

It makes absolutely no sense, but whatever I wore my mask, I wanted to be there for my son,

be there for my wife.
