@windwalker Hi Terri -
My daughter's test was negative, but it seems that many who are tested too early in their illness show that, and if later retested, are positive. Her hospital has told her to complete the 14-day quarantine on the assumption that she has the virus due to repeated exposures. Later she will probably be retested, and if antibodies show she weathered the virus will be permitted back to work. If negative, her pulmonologist will prescribe only a "no contact" job for her for the near future - likely telemedicine or on-line nurse-educator - time will tell.
Her younger sister is trying to make the hard decision whether to take a leave from her job. She is a school nurse with 2 toddlers, being asked to directly oversee the health of the children whose parents are in health care, emergency services, and other vital jobs, who are being cared for in the local schools at the order of the governor. By extension, she is being ask to expose/endanger her own children, one of them very prone to severe symptoms from even minor illnesses, to everything she encounters from other children. She is trying to negotiate with her HR to have a background job she can do from home or to take an unpaid leave, but so far they are not receptive. Ironically, they are not offering daycare for her children because they are too young. And if she is being exposed to others daily, she cannot bring her kids to us or their other regular daycare Grandpa & Grandma as we are all high risk... Yesterday she was asking us if she was overreacting because she is feeling anxiety, fear, frustrations, anger ... we assured her these are perfectly normal, human reactions to being caught in the middle of a very fluid and difficult situation.
So to everyone -
Stay careful.
Try to stay positive and healthy.
