We have had COVID in the house several weeks ago. Our teenage son tested positive and was kept home. My husband had to quarantine at home with him. I continued to work, as I am an essential worker. Interestingly enough, my husband (who received a liver transplant in February) did not catch it, but I did. We did not take any special precautions (continued to live our home life as normal). As far as cleaning, I continued what I do on a regular basis. I share just to encourage others that it is possible to have it in the house, not go to extremes and not pass it on. Both my son and I have been recovered for several weeks and my husband was tested at one point and was negative. We are now well past the time when we should have passed it on. Hooray!

@btwest6 I’m glad that everyone is well now. It seems as if your husband was very lucky to not catch it. What I have read is that those of us on immunotherapy can catch it more easily but we do not seem to get any sicker than others.

@tjgisewhite why do you think we cannot contract Covid? Our meds weaken our immune system, which makes catching anything more likely, even things like toenail fungus!
