COVID-19 Hit's Home!

[wood714]

My daughter just called and said her daughters mother in law went to the hospital this morning with symptoms. They tested her and told her to go home. They called around 3 hours later and told her she tested positive and to say at home for 2 weeks.

Bad thing is, she was hanging out with my grand daughter, and her 2 year old daughter all day yesterday.

Then my grand daughter went to my daughters house and hung out with them a few hours last night.

If it spreads easy, My grand daughter, her husband, her daughter, my daughter, her husband, my son, and his wife will all have it.

My son works for my son in law.

Grand daughter lives in Covington KY. My daughter lives in Fairfield Ohio.

Rusty, do you hear this, the grim reaper is in your neck of the woods!

Wood: If I figured out the family tree properly, your granddaughter's M-I-L doesn't have the brains God gave a goose!!!

Kevin, I am sorry to hear this and pray for their well being.

I am hunkered down with the already cabin feverish grandkids. Thank goodness for smart tv's, Wi-Fi and the pony keg drive-thru.

That is how easy it spreads and multiplies, that's why the Gov't is trying to keep everyone at home.

My wife in in the second day of a two week quarantine.
The nurse told us to stay in different rooms. Right, in a 2000 sq. ft. house,
one kitchen, same 3 ton central AC/Heat pump so we just breath each others air as it gets recirculated.

They told her she would get the results of her test in two weeks.

Just like a cold:
Treat it and it will go away in 14 days, don't treat it and it will go away in two weeks.

Sorry to hear that Kevin. Let's hope no one gets seriously ill.

... They tested her and told her to go home. They called around 3 hours later and told her she tested positive and to say at home for 2 weeks....

They have test kits now that have results in three hours?

Best wishes for everyone affected by this. Truly scary stuff, but all anyone can do is take the best possible precautions and follow medical advice.

Let me paraphrase something our governor said yesterday during his shut down Nevada speech.

"This 30 day period is not a vacation. It is not an excuse to go visit family and have sleep overs with friends. The aim is to reduce the amount of interaction and thus slow the transmission of COVID-19 as much as possible."

I respectively suggest that even if your state has not taken the extreme measures seen here, that you impress upon your family members that this advice is the way to go. wood714 has provided the perfect example why we should do it.

I await the inevitable push-back from the more family orientated than I and expect it to be fierce, but why else did they invent Nomex.

@wood714, I sincerely wish all the affected family a speedy recovery or a lucky escape from infection as applies.

No idea, just repeating what my daughter said the hospital told the MIL.

Seems kinda odd to me too.

I think my daughters test came back in 5 days (with good news). Meantime a sister of mine intended to make a road trip with one daughter and three grandkids to spend this coming weekend with our 88 yr old mother. I asked her to rethink that.She doesn't get it yet,but she isn't coming down either.
I'm just a mean old brother lol

Prayers sent to all in need.

I'm still trying to figure out the family tree. Too early in the morning for me.

Regardless, I hope all get through this craziness with minimal discomfort.

They just had the CEO of our health system on TV to answer questions. She said currently "if" they do the COVID19 test they are getting results in 6-7 days. Unless certain criteria are met, the state and federal gov't forbids them to do a test. She didn't elaborate on what the criteria is, but I understand in is mostly the normal Flu symptoms. They have locally done over 550 tests and none are positive here yet.

And those are the reasons this thing is spreading like a wildfire. Just like most European countries have found out.

All those who were in contact should be tested ASAP.

Hang in there.

And it is all not a laughing matter or media hype when it strikes someone you know and love.


Hope everyone fares well.

Sorry to hear this. Hoping for a quick and full recovery!

Apparently they don't.

She got a call from the hospital today saying her results were negative.

Only reason I can think why they told her it was positive 3 hours after taking it, was to get her to stay home.

Kinda makes me wonder if half the cases they claim are positive are just to get people to stay in.

Got a visit from a friend who works at the local hospital. (On my back porch, six feet apart at all times ).

They are only testing people who are bad enough to be admitted to the hospital, so they know whether they need to be isolated or not.

Nobody else gets a test, since every test wastes single-use masks and protective equipment, of which there is a critical shortage, and since everybody is under instructions to stay home and social-distance anyway, what difference does it make?

Basically, stupidity and lack of compliance on the part of too many people has helped the virus win the first round. They are now preparing for the next round, the potential onslaught of critical cases. Testing no longer serves any meaningful function in slowing the spread; too many are infected.
