@windwalker, Good afternoon. Yes I do know someone. My granddaughter and her boyfriend both were in the ER for flu even though they both had flu shots. She was told it was the flu, not the covid-19 flu. Please explain. I talked to her last night and she is home but afraid of cov-19. Still coughing.
What’s next? How can I help? Chris

It's getting closer by the day. My wife's college roommate took test yesterday after being at conference last week with someone who tested positive. No result yet.

Absolutely and we're worried. Our daughter, an ER nurse was tested this am and sent home to self-quarantine. She is negative for Flu A & B, strep & RSV. Awaiting Covid-19 results.
She is only 40 but high risk. Her sister is looking after her needs from outside her condo as she is at home with 2 toddlers. We're 1500 miles away and couldn't do anything directly if home as we are both very high risk. So wait and pray.
It takes 5 days for Covid-19 results right now despite any political assurances otherwise. Also, at least in Minnesota and Texas, testing is restricted to health care workers, hospitalized and ltc patients due to a shortage of test components. That means even if she is positive her close contacts, if ill, will not be tested. So, we have no idea how many in the US are infected. Please be careful!
