Default She has been "phone" diagnosed by a doc, and not just her but many friends, roomates.

She was told to ASSUME she has it. Same thing 5 different people got from 5 different doctors. I'm a little PO'd, but understanding.

She is symptomatic, the cough, fever, some other things. The doctor said even if she tested positive, there is nothing they could do for her and trip in and back would be a bad idea. They don't have enough TESTS (the doctors) apparently they are being sent to hospitals, to test those most in the targeted groups.

She and her 30 something friends, all in good health, non smokers, casual drinkers with no health problems all were told the same thing. There is a lot of bad, poor and downright disinformation out there about the TESTS and having them available to anyone...NOT so in NYC, which is now Ground Zero.

I get the fact she is young and healthy, and the fact they can't do anything if she has Covid 19 or any flu, it just infuriates me as a FATHER to see that Pro basketball players and Hollywood types are being tested.

Since it doesn't make a difference on her course of activities (getting well), I also understand the medical stance. I'm not joining the finger pointers, but I got to say...

when you have a loved one with it (or APPARENTLY)...

takes things to a whole different level. 00000000

I've lost interest for now in posting anything else about what is going on, I'm going to focus on taking care of mine. Good luck ya all.

Gordon
