Hi unicorn. My daughters, both nurses, one in an ER, and my doc have assured me there is no risk of transmission to my little grandkids. The only restriction my doc gave me was to stay away from my transplant patient cousin until I have 2 clean sputum cultures. That's because he is immunosuppressed. In fact, I am far more likely to catch a virus or infection from one of them.

I was living with a parrot for 13 years and when my immune system went down, i got this disease. The dr. told my husband to get that bird out of our home and bring hazmat in. He said no human should bring a bird into their home. I am finding that being around sick people is not good for me. When i get a cold, it turns into much more and i get so sick. Because i dont look sick, people do not take me seriously. I am fighting upper respiratory infection now and it is awful. I am so tired and weak. We have to eat things that help our immune system.
