My wife fell ill last week. To this day, she has not gotten the coronavirus test results because there are no test kits available.
You freaking liar...Buuuaaahahahahahahaha...
Nope. My entire family was isolated last week. When I went out to get food, I had to keep as far away as everyone else as possible. I stayed home from work, and pulled the kids out of school.
Perhaps you all noticed my posting rate increased.
From a post I made yesterday:
My wife has a suppressed immune system due to rheumatoid arthritis and the meds she takes for it.
Last week, she spiked a fever and was coughing uncontrollably. So off to urgent care.
The urgent care staff were extremely frustrated and apologetic. There are no test kits. They called around all the local hospitals. No joy.
So they took some swabs anyway, and took one to check for the flu as well. They sent them all off to the biggest hospital in the state.
I pulled my kids out of school immediately and stayed home from work.
The clinic said my wife preliminarily tested positive for the flu. That's the first time we have ever been relieved that it was "just the flu".
My wife then slept for three days straight. I gave her the antibiotics and inhaler provided by the clinic, kept her hydrated, and watched her temperature. Plus, lots of Tylenol.
I acquired a very mild sore throat. Uh oh! But it never got any worse.
A few days later, we got the flu test results back. She had influenza-A. Bird flu.
Still no ability to check for coronavirus. Medical staff around here are getting furious at Trump. "Anybody who wants a test gets a test." They tell me they were shouting at the TV when he said that.
We are all in the pink now. My wife is weaker and her voice is hoarse, but she is on the mend.
None of us have caught her flu. But the schools are all closed now. My company is a ghost town.
