Since this thing is blowing up at a breakneck exponential pace, we are going to know people who has it. Maybe you have it. This thread is to keep people in thoughts and prayers, prayer chain if you are into that, and to help people who are stricken however we can.

There’s other threads for discussing economics and politics it is my hope that this thread is limited to who we can pray for and who we can help.

My friend's wife got it in Davenport
He reported her having all the symptoms for the entire 2-plus weeks
He made it clear it is not worth catching

She is almost fully recovered now
He reports no symptoms himself as of Thursday

So far, no folks in our circle have it. We as a family are praying for those that have it. Practicing all the avoidance methods. Watch over your groups. Stay in contact. Worried about my mom... Thanks to all the care givers and praying for them....

My cousin's other grandfather pasted away 2 weeks ago. He was one of the people in the infected nursing home in Burligame, but he also had underlying health issues. When I heard about it, it definitely hit home.

If the hospital doesn’t supply the devices maybe family can get something to them

Most hospitals would have humane policies about that kind of thing

My daughter was one of the early ones fully recovered.
My nephew is hospitalized with it now, he was in a nursing home recovering from pneumonia.  His chances are slim at best it will take a miracle. His nurses did not practice social distancing,  they both tasted positive before him.

All our prayers for him WH! Stay strong so sorry to read this!!!

A kayak angler I know who is working in Colorado developed some kind of crud which has some of the symptoms of the virus whose name must not be spoken, but isn't sick enough to require hospitalization. He got tested, and the test came back negative.  He said "That's the first time I was glad to fail a test." But I think he has it backwards.  Since he isn't sick enough to be hospitalized, he should have hoped that the test came back positive, because that would mean that he will end up being immune to COVID-19 without getting very sick.  Since the test came back negative, he still has to worry about getting COVID-19, and if he gets it, he may get it at a time when the medical system is swamped.

My brother, who lives in Seattle, has some kind of crud which has some of the symptoms of COVID-19, but he isn't sick enough to be hospitalized, and he isn't sick enough to get tested. He's toughing it out at home, but doesn't know whether he's going to end up being immune after he gets better.

Stay healthy, Tony!
