Covid coming your way?

oldman said:
I tested positive (+) yesterday. Feel crappy, but unless it gets worse, I will be OK in about a week. My biggest complaint that I have is my back hurts really bad. The pain is in the general area where the lungs are located, so I’m guessing that I have some lung irritation. Temperature is about 100.3.

I’m drinking iced tea by the gallons. Yesterday, I drank two and a half gallons of it. Keeping the porcelain goddess busy.

I'm so sorry you are sick. Please take care of yourself.

NO NO NO! This can't be happening! My prayers are with you!
 
My daughter-in-law, a home healthcare nurse, tested positive. She says she has a headache and feels fatigued. My son works as a corrections officer. They are already short on staff at the prison but when she tested positive he was ordered quarantined until Dec. 23. Daughter-in-law was already sad that her family called off Thanksgiving. Now she's sending out pictures of their Christmas tree that no one will see and sad pictures of the kids lamenting about having a quarantine Christmas.

Just heard my daughter-in-law has a confirmed case(with test and symptoms), spouse and her two toddlers being next. Previously, my son's partner went through an ugly Covid-19 infection. Lost sense of smell and taste. My business partner's adult daughter is currently infected.
...just waiting and wondering who will be next?

Nathan, I am so sorry to hear this. I hope their recovery is soon, and complete. How are you feeling? Weren’t you concerned you might have the virus yourself? Yes, increasingly, it appears to be a waiting game.

Oh, this is very sad. I hope her recovery is swift.
 
My son's coworker tested positive yesterday, fortunately my son hadn't been working near him for several days. They wear masks and stay 6ft apart.
My cousins grandson and his wife have it, mild so far, they have a 6 month old baby.
Until yesterday I didn't know of anyone personally having it.

It is exploding all over, near and far. 😥

I haven't been around them, they didn't do the Thanksgiving get-together but instead went camping. More and more people in Real Life have been getting Covid-19, I haven't lost anybody...yet.
I'm generally an optimistic, however I expect to contract Covid before the vaccine comes my way.

The comparison is to the large numbers of people dying.

Of course I understand that. It just makes no sense. Less people have died from covid then died in the Civil War, so what? Less people died in the Iraq war, again so what? 270,000 Americans have died from covid I don't need apples to oranges comparisons to know that's a tragedy.
 
No one near me is unlucky enough to get the virus yet. Those around don't get close when they are out, I don't allow anyone new into the house, been doing that for 6 months now. More cases appearing closer, some less than an hour from here.
 
Just saw this thread. I'm so sorry to hear about all the people close to this forum who have it, and Oldman, sorry you are feeling crappy. It sounds like you are taking good care of yourself. Keep doing that, sounds like you've got a battle on your hands.

Prayer for them offered. Better sad than sick. They must not gather. They can promise themselves a Christmas gathering later. You stay safe, please.
 
Thanks everyone for your get well wishes. So far, so good. I haven't got my sense of taste back yet, but I just started this on Sunday, so it may take a few more days. I woke up at 1:30 this morning drenched in my own sweat, so I had to get up, shower and change my clothes and of course, my wife also got up and we changed the bed clothes. I soaked everything, so I guess that's a good sign. My lungs hurt and I'm not sure what to do about that. I wasn't given any medications, just told to stay in bed and drink plenty of liquids.
