Very sorry that D2 and family are going through this ordeal.
Best of luck to her. -
@George-K I appreciate your sharing. The first person accounts are so interesting and I also I am now vested in your daughter’s recovery.

Please let her get out of the woods, completely out of the woods and into the open.
I scrolled to the beginning of this thread, Oct. 6. It all started with a bit of a sore throat, low-grade temp., and then we all started guessing on whether this was Covid, or not. And since we all love our George, we were rooting for the "not."
And it's Nov. 28th today.
Damn, what an awful disease that just won't go away and leave people alone! -

This thread is like watching a slo-mo train wreck...
Our conversation about 15 minutes ago.

Yup. She's been living with him for the last 2 years, and they've been in a relationship for 3 years - before she went to Fort Wayne for her internship.
When she got sick, 8 weeks ago, she self-isolated. After being afebrile, and two negative tests, she broke isolation. Because of BF's work, he gets tested frequently, and has always been asymptomatic and negative.
His ex is a real nut job. I'm not sure if she's an anti-vaxxer, but it wouldn't surprise me if she is. She's the typical Cheddarhead
denier. Their three sons are pretty much the same. They are aged 20, 17 and 10.D2 is beside herself.
It's going to be an interesting 48 hours, to be sure.

Not good - very sorry to hear this. Hope it's not as tough as hers.

Wow, I’m sorry she’s still going through this ordeal. And now the boyfriend too.

BTW, BF's Mother and Father also tested positive. His Mom was OK, with mild symptoms. Father spent 2 days in the hospital and on O2. A few days ago, they were talking about intubation and ventilation.
He's home now, and I guess he's OK, or at least no sicker.
This is a fucked-up disease.

Dang, at least Lucas has the advantage of being young, hope he comes out of this okay.

Thanks, I’m confident he will be fine. He finds it pretty interesting right now, drinking and eating things that he can’t taste... But he is otherwise fine. No fever or other symptoms. He had felt a little tired on Thursday, but had been up to 3AM working on College Applications (and likely some video games with his friends) so we just chalked it up to that...
Having to put all of us in isolation right now will be difficult...

Seriously, I’m a dad. Of course I am going to worry. He’s young and knows that he’s at little risk, but he’s got to be a little worried too, which is why we’re both up at two watching Genndy Tartakovsky cartoons and will probably be up all night.

Ah, good to see that he still retains good taste in cartoons. Which is it, Dexter, Samurai Jack, or the PowerPuff Girls?

Oh man. I hope he’s ok or has an easy case.
How are you handling in-house separation?

He has his own bathroom, the kitchen is off limits for him, we will retrieve whatever he needs. He also gets possession of the computer room since he was in it a lot the last few dayy. We also have reserved a spot in the family room where he can be with us but socially distanced so long as he is masked...
Still, Karla and I both think that if he’s got it, we’ve likely got it...
The Brad
