Anyway, I post the other day about my daughter. She seemed to be okay all weekend but woke up this morning with trouble breathing. She is going to a test site if she can't get a script from her doctor (she called in this morning).
She was a preemie (3 months early) and while minimal to say the least she had lung problems then that comes with that. She has mild asthma and has had bronchitis and pneumonia in the past. Also she can be a bit of a hypochondriac...lol...but it is best she get tested obviously.
Because of that *I* am quarantining...at least for today. I told my boss that I was with her the first day she got sick (she didn't have a fever that day...doesn't seem to have one now either) and I feel fine but we both thought it best to give it a day at least and see.
But this cascades: My wife works at a foodbank. She helps take care of her 74 year stepdad with stage 4 cancer. My daughter lives above her step grandfather with her husband who is in the National Guard. So many people can be affected by ONE person.
And here is the bigger issue: even if they let us all go back to work in a month this virus will still be out there with no cure and no vaccine. Anyone of us can get it at anytime until they get the vaccine in a year or more.
Time to close the entire country for two weeks or a month, limit the spread and deal with it from there.
It's a once in a century event. No one is prepared. We're going to have to suffer and hope that when the history books are written they are kind to us for how we handled it.
I don't see how that changes anything. It just puts it off for a month.
