Also, not trying to be nosy so don't answer if it's too intrusive. Do you have a significant other

Thanks to all for the Prayers a well wishes
 
old medic: Oh no!!!! I will pray for you. I have very strong prayers!!! That has to be terrifying!!!

As a Paramedic I have had a bit of information overload with Covid... And working in a small rural county with only one confirmed case figured we should be pretty safe.... My great luck had to jump in and screw everything up. I have been seriously exposed to a suspected patient, and taken out of work.
Their results came back positive this morning, and the health dept has placed me under quarantine for 2 weeks. They wont test me unless I start having symptoms. I'm healthy for the most part, but damn the anxiety of it...

You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your service, may it always be remembered.
 
So very, very sorry for all. Knowing that you have been exposed and then having to wait to see if you become ill - horrible. They are researching the use of blood from recovered patients as antibody serum for those recently infected. I hope with all my heart that this turns out to be effective in limiting the severity and duration of the illness - and that the recovered willingly line up to donate blood. Stay strong!

Praying for ya.
 
There is just so much nonsense written about the virus. Quite frankly, some people are making up stuff. I've seen dire headline, supposedly from experts,, but if you read what those experts said, things were taken way out of context. Since we have the stories of two virus victims, please keep us posted as to how they are doing. We want them to get better, and need to understand what getting the virus means. Please keep us posted.

I have been watching daily updates from one of the first corona victims in my State. She’s an intelligent, articulate middle aged woman who has been going live on Facebook every day, sometimes for an hour at a time, giving her personal experience of the way the health authorities have been treating her, how she feels, how severe her symptom are etc during the course of her self-quarantine. Also as people type their questions and comments, she has answered everything as best she can, oftentimes with I don’t know or I’m not a doctor/infectious disease expert etc. Still it’s been hugely informative and has take a lot of the mystery out of what it feels like to be a victim.
Her husband also caught the virus and though he doesn’t appear on camera, she has been reporting on his experience as well. He was sicker than she, so we got some information of a more severe case too.
 
For most its basic Flu type symptoms and you recover... Older and folks with health issues are more prone to major illness and Death..
JUST LIKE YOU DO WITH THE FLU.... this Virus is stronger and spreads fairly easy... and no treatment or vaccine as of yet...
There is reason to be concerned yes, but not for the mass hysteria taking place...
On a lighter note.... Work called and I had to report to the health Dept and have been tested....
Great day for a ride on the bike...
