Promising, yes. I'm thinking about her earlier complaint that she couldn't . . . was it smell or taste? Can't remember.

Anyway, things appear to be looking up, and like the man said, if you hear hoofbeats, think horses and not zebras.

So YEAH!

Presumably the kind of help they provide means they can't see some patients remotely?

I believe they are working with the indigent...

OK, so that's always going to be a high risk occupation when it comes to Covid.

Wow - I agree with the others. Seem as maybe she had it, but for some reason, not showing in the test now?

Seems like too much of a coincidence for it to be something else.

[taiwan_girl]

@George-K any update?

She moved this weekend...

And it's funny you should ask about 15 minutes ago...

Good to hear about the second test and that she is "rounding the bend" as you say.

[kluurs]

That's very encouraging! Glad she's feeling better.

[Rainman]

W00t!!

[Loki]

What a great dad. Love your approach with your questions and comments throughout.

[Doctor Phibes]

That's awesome, George.

[Horace]

Very +1.

@George-K
That's excellent news! Yeah, she will probably still feel wonky for a while yet, but she shouldn't be contagious.

For those who posted earlier about the negative test results, that is the way it typically happens. After a positive test, and having all the symptoms to indicate a true positive, a person will eventually test negative again, meaning they are no longer shedding the virus. That's the green light for not being contagious. It can happen in as little as ten days or take months, depending on how much of a viral load the person experienced. There can be false negatives, hence the need for a second negative test to confirm.

Very good news!

Activity is good, but fer gawdsakes, DO NOT OVERDO IT!!!. very slow at first, and slooowly increase as you feel better.

I know she's had two negative tests, but this can be a wicked virus. Run yourself down too much, and if there's a few viruses in the system, a patient can fall right back in the same mud puddle.

+1 to what Jolly said!

But yes, excellent news.
