Symptoms (part 2)

D3 came by to drop off some stuff last week - 6 days ago, on Wednesday.
On Friday, she found out that someone she had contact with (her downstairs neighbor) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Later that evening she started to develop symptoms - low grade fever, SOB, cough, etc. On Saturday, she went to the ER because she was wheezing (she's a mild asthmatic, and hasn't needed drugs for more than 10 years).
Shit.
CXR, blood work, EKG were all OK. They did a COVID test as well and sent her home.
Of course, being concerned, I went and got tested on Saturday (4 days ago).
Followup:
I tested negative.
Mrs. George developed a low-grade temp (99.6) on Saturday, Sunday and yesterday. Today, nothing.
D3's symptoms are about the same, and yesterday, we found out she tested negative. I tested negative as well. Mrs. George got tested today; we hope to get results in 48 hours.
D3's getting tested again today.
What a mess.
Mrs. George and I remain asymtopmatic, so far.

I think you've had more than your share of Covid in your family, George.
So. . . STOP IT! -

I really don't know what's going on with D3. In the ER, she was told her symptoms were pretty classic for a SARS-CoV-2 infection, so I really don't understand the negative test. Perhaps tonight's repeat will be more revelatory.
Sigh....

Oh my. So much to cause worry and real concern. I especially hope you and Mrs. George stay healthy.

I think, hope, we dodged a bullet.
As I said, I really don't understand D3's negative test. It'll be interesting to see her repeat (non self-administered) test results from this afternoon.

Fvck...
Vitamin D... Shitload of Vitamin D and half a shitload of C topped off with some Zinc for all 3 of you. It wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world for D3 to take 40 MG of Pepcid every day
I firmly believe that’s what kept Karla and I from coming down with it...

D3 has bladder issues (Interstitial Cystitis) that are really REALLY affected by all kinds of things, including vitamins (she has a spinal cord stimulator to ease her symptoms). I suggested Vitamin D, but she's have to pee every 30 minutes if she did that.

D3’s symptoms would also fit a number of other bacterial and viral infections... Maybe she picked up some other nasty?
