How are you supporting someone who has COVID-19?

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!

We are sending you and your daughter good positive thoughts. Can you do a video chat with her? It must be very frustrating, keep the faith.
@sueinmn Im sorry to hear about your daughter I use to be a E.R. nurse so that part is thought enough blessing to her and you . Being so far away must be hard on you. I pray for her she will be alright .

@sueinmn - Hi Sue. This must be extremely frustrating for you. But you can help. You can order groceries, flowers, anything on-line. Or call a grocery near her and fill up her refrigerator. You could order lessons for something new that she's wanted to do, movies, etc. Does this sound doable?
