WS Members/loved ones who have Coronavirus or testing for Coronavirus (Group Hug)

How hard it must be not to be able to wrap your arms around them and "fix it". Do they have a pulse oximeter to monitor themselves to meet the threshold if needed for them to head to ER or get assistance?

Hoping they recover quickly and completely.

No, at 26, having a pulse oximeter is not really a household item. She just sent me a text, she is feeling tired but okay.

Her BF, not so good. Still in bed.

I didn't know about this thread until now. My father and stepmother are going on 5 weeks positive with covid-19 in Northern California.

My dad works in construction and was told via phone that he was exposed to a co-worker who tested positive, (on the same day my dad stayed home from work) exhibiting symptoms of illness. He was tested on a Wednesday, but did not get results until the following Tuesday.

My stepmother went to a different clinic over the weekend while they waited for my dad's results, and hers came back within 24 hours (on a Sunday, no less) positive.

It's been a prolonged illness for both of them, and after 4 weeks, they were re-tested. The results still came back positive. My father initially was told he cannot return to work until November, but their recovery is happening very slowly and I don't anticipate him being able to work anytime soon.

I don't live nearby, but I have it on good authority that a major component of the cure for them is homemade cookies.

That is a long time to be sick. I am sorry to hear that.

Just got the results, my daughter and I tested positive, too. So we all have it at our house.

So sorry Seenit. Hope you are feeling ok.

I haven't felt very great for a while, but I couldn't figure out why. I have had a bad cough for 2-3 weeks, but I figured it was from all the wildfire smoke. I have also been really tired, but I thought that was due to stress. Maybe it has been COVID symptoms instead.

Praying you're on the way to health then and on the upside of this. Has anyone else in your household had symptoms for this long?

ETA are you being contact traced? I'm just curious.

The fatigue is hard going. Rest as much as you can Seenit

We have all had strange symptoms, but would not have known it was COVID related.

My daughter's work did contact tracing for her, but none for us.

Get well soon @Seenit and family. Let us know if you need some cookies! <3

Well, she is healthy, slender, 26 year old, working in retail. Her boyfriend also works in retail, he caught it first, and they were both tested on Tuesday, results on Wednesday. So far, it is extreme fatigue, headaches. Her BF seems far sicker than she is, he has more intestinal issues, and a deep chest type cough. Both have no taste or smell.

My daughter went from her bed to the sofa, and was out of breath by the time she got to the sofa.

So, they will be okay. But it is worrisome how fast and how much sicker her BF is now. They were offered no treatment or medication by the doctor. Just told to go home. I guess if he gets sicker this weekend, maybe he will go to the ER.

Hoping they both recover quickly!
Do they think they got it at work?

I am sure that they did. Probably from other employees. These are young people, who have little kids at home. Children seem to be little vectors for Covid.

Darn. Rest and take care of yourself. Prayers.

Contact tracing now is becoming null here in Montana. They are just trying to keep up with orders of isolation for the positive.

That's what I figured. Too many cases to trace.

@Seenit, how are all of you today? Been thinking about you guys, please keep us posted if you’re up to it. Sending hugs.

Re: CT, let me know if you have any questions, perhaps I can help provide some reference to you as a certified contact tracer. I can even help you with this via pm, if you need, using variables of course with no names needed to be divulged to me.

I just bought a pulse ox from Amazon for under $30 and got it delivered next day through Amazon Prime. I’m not sick (yet?) but after reading through these threads decided it’s a good thing to have. You may want to order one (or one for as many household as you have people sick).

Are you in CA or CO?

Thank you for asking Margarita.
My eldest feels better than yesterday. Hasn't had to use any Tylenol for two days now.
My youngest says she feels "pretty terrible".
I am feeling great, because I am on steroids and inhalers. Steroids give me LOTS of energy. Before the steroids, I had major fatigue.

I have to remind myself to rest. Which is what I am going to do now.

We all use a cough suppressant at night, so we can sleep. Hope it continues to not get worse.
