So you're the spike in Covid cases! Just kidding, but wouldn't doubt if that's what they have you down as when all's said and done. Get better man!Morning y'all. Another not so good.

Hope you can get out of there soon. There's sick people everywhere in there.No Covid here. COPD. I asked if they tested for Covid, "Nope you don't have any symptoms". Fair enough.
Wife came into my office about an hour ago.
"One of the AC drains outside of the house is dripping."
Shit.
Figured I'd see if I can diagnose this. Went into the attic to take a peek. One of the air handlers has a bunch of condensation on top and water running down the side to the emergency drip pan. Some water in the pan. No bueno.
Checked the drain line at the T-access. Yep, it's clogged. The AC condensation line drains to one of the upstairs bathrooms so I get my tools, shop vac and a metric tonne of towels.
The drain line comes out of the wall and is connected with a rubber hose to a one-way T-connector at the sink drain before the P-trap. Had a bitch of a time getting the rubber hose off but finally got it. Water comes pouring out. The T-connector where the hose connects is completely blocked with sediment and Lord knows what else.
Put the shop vac on the hose and hear a nice, satisfying sucking sound. Clog is cleared.
Checked the attic and the line looks clear. Sent a bleach mixture down the tube to hopefully head it off again. With my luck that wasn't the problem.
What a PITA but hey....I fixed something myself and saved some money....maybe.
In the houses I built always threatened to put the exterior drain pipe from the evaporator coil pan over the front door so it would hit the owner on the head in time to do something about it.
We never use the front door unless there is a visitor, or a delivery.
