Our health has not yet been affected by COVID-19, hopefully things will stay that way. I hope none of us here is sick with this coronavirus and can also remain healthy. Take the poll and let us know if your health has been affected by COVID-19.
 

We're staying close to home, and there have been NO cases reported in our area....so far. I have a dentist appt. in about 2 weeks...it will be interesting to see if the dentist is still taking patients while this thing is being passed around. I usually have my annual Medicare doctor visit and tests in May....again, that may be delayed/cancelled this year.
 

I wonder if that 3 week flu I had back in Jan. was it? My friend came down with it at the same time. Maybe we got it from each other and both of us so sick we couldn't work or do much of anything. When they get drive thru testing here, I'd like to check if it would even show up.

So far me and my immediate family and BF and his are all fine.

I also think I had it in mid-February. Except for fever I had every other symptom and wrote in my journal at the time that whatever I had was like nothing I ever had before, or at least every feeling was unfamiliar. I hope I will one day be able to check to see if this is so.

You're wise to take extra caution Ken, stay well.

I have bronchitis and a touch of pneumonia right now. The only place I've been in two weeks is the doctor's office and I'm not going anywhere where there's a chance of catching anything else.

Jujube, you're very vulnerable right now unfortunately. I'm glad you're staying home except to see your doctor. Please take care of yourself, I hope you fully recover from your bronchitis and pneumonia, and are never touched by this coronavirus. 🧡

Glad to hear that you both got over the flu you had and are okay now. Hard to know if it was a touch of this novel coronavirus I guess without testing. Even the regular flu is bad enough.

I'm going to the dentist tomorrow, will report how things went. They called me a couple of days ago to verify the appointment and assure me they are taking all precautions necessary regarding the virus. My husband is having pain and will be going to the same dentist the following week. We've been going there for decades, I think they will be as safe as possible.

It definitely was not the flu. The week before I had it my son was so sick he had to take time off from work, which he never did. Got a flu test, no flu. The week before he got sick his wife, who was sick and had to take off work, took flu test, no flu and hers turned into pneumonia.

That sounds more like it may have been COVID-19. :(

Same here with bronchitis (and sinusitis). Back on another round of antibiotics (which I HATE) since temp went to 100.6 yesterday. But this has been going on for six weeks and isn't unusual when the allergy season hits me particularly hard like this spring. Once asthma kicks in, bronchitis sometimes follows. I've never had an acute asthma attack ...just chronic shortness of breath when it's flared up. It's usually a mild month or so, but in bad years goes into bronchitis and once into pneumonia. Thankfully my internist gives me antibiotic scripts to keep on hand in bad years; he trusts me with that because he knows how badly I hate antibiotics. I saw him the week of Feb 10th so if I need more, he'll call it in.

Would your Dr call something in since you've been in for a visit so recently and considering the circumstances these days?

Well I had to be the bad guy here today....discussed with my older son, who lives with me, that no one should be coming in and out of the house, meaning my 13 year old granddaughter, whom I love dearly.....she visits back and forth almost every week.....found out yesterday that her Mom, whom she lives with, and a step brother and his Dad, is working in a nursing home so the risks of their family getting this virus is high, and the risk of my son and me getting it are just as high when she visits.....you get the picture here....they all may be carriers but if old grammy here gets sick, I'm probably a gonner.....my concern is if I were to get sick (and I'm 100% sure my lungs would not sustain this ailment) they all will be part of the blame game amongst each other with lots of long-lasting guilt....my daughter who lives abroad almost flipped out when she heard this.....
Am I over-reacting or not? And I hope everyone here keeps posting their deepest concerns about their health with this copid19 dilemma.

You are not overreacting. Your family should realize that social distancing includes them. Good luck.

You're not overreacting, especially considering your granddaughter's home environment. But could you plan outdoor visits on pretty days? My sister's husband isn't being as careful as she would like. Today is her birthday, so I stopped by and we sat on the porch for a visit.

That's exactly what I told my son....meet up outdoors....its better than nothing, right.....

Pops, at 13 its hard for her to get into the reality of this virus, but with calm explaining she's old enough to grasp the importance of staying away.

How I wish our kids didn't have to grasp any of this!

How right you are Rose....they must think its all their parents' responsibility to worry about this without them having to be involved....and we did have that talk with her about the seriousness of this, but we know her mother is taking an 'I dont care' attitude about it and not working with us on this, ugh.....it really doesn't bother me much to be the bad guy cuz its the right thing to do now a days....
