[Belgian Pie]

...
I have a call in to the cdc who said they give a spit test to pregnant women but since I am a guy they don't want to.
i told him i will email president ma about this and they will rethink it and call me back.

Im wondering if there is any major risk here or is the cancer risk overblown?

If it has no relation to China or jogging he won't even read the email ...

I should put jogging as the subject line, then throw him for a loop with the email contents.

I have worked as a radiographer for the last 18 years. A chest x-ray increases your risk of cancer by about 3 cigarettes, not 3 cigarettes a day, just 3 cigarettes. Or another way, you are exposed to the same level of radiation as you would get from flying a plane from London to Spain. I would not worry too much. Some premature babies I used to x ray, had 40 or 50 x rays, before the date that they were meant to be born on.
