@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?

@merpreb Thanks Merry - Her refrigerator and cupboard are full of easy, healthy food because as an ER nurse, she was afraid she might get sick. We're keeping in touch via group text so her sister, Dad & I all get stay informed with the least strain on her. In addition, my sister (local to her) is keeping in touch. I also have contact info for some of her close friends and instructions how to access her condo in case we think she needs a welfare check. Now we just wait for test results and pray she is strong enough to weather this (she already had Influenza A this year, in spite of the best vaccines.)
Today she says she feels about the same as yesterday, headache, sore throat, fever and cough, but not a bad as Influenza A. She actually hopes it is Covid-19 and that she recovers easliy so she can get back to work without fear and help with this crisis. Much of her clientele is poor, homeless or nearly so, and she has great compassion for them and expects them to be hard-hit due to poor nutrition and health/mental health issues.
Thank you all for being so caring. May you all stay well through these trying days.
Sue
