RE: COVID-19 - Greg - 05-30-2020
Okay. Now you can visit.
RE: COVID-19 - Drunk Monk - 05-30-2020
cool.

RE: COVID-19 - Greg - 05-30-2020
Every visitor gets to take one home!
RE: COVID-19 - Drunk Monk - 05-30-2020
dealbreaker.
how about a dog instead?

My mother has gone in to get a Covid test. She's had a lot of congestion as well as an ongoing earache and fever.
In a, I'm sure, completely unrelated occurrence her caregiver spent the weekend at a casino.
Test results come back today.
RE: COVID-19 - cranefly - 06-10-2020
Wow.
How is that even possible? A caregiver with elderly clientele? Going to Vegas? At a time like this?
Though I suppose it's consistent with all else that's happening...
RE: COVID-19 - Greg - 06-10-2020
I asked my sister if we could get a new caregiver and she said no.
But, hey, the pandemic is over, right?
RE: COVID-19 - King Bob - 06-10-2020
It's only over in red states
RE: COVID-19 - Drunk Monk - 06-10-2020
Now I'm curious. Any DOOMers aside from me get a covid test yet?
My closest friend from Grad School's father-in-law died of covid recently. He was in a retirement home. It was sudden and awful - they could not visit or do anything. He was just gone - just like that - without warning or services.
RE: COVID-19 - Greg - 06-10-2020
I haven't gotten one. But there is a mobile service coming through Raymond next week.
RE: COVID-19 - cranefly - 06-10-2020
I think testing is moot for LCF and I at present. We have no symptoms, and they aren't doing an antibody test.
I'd like to find out if one or the other of us might have had a stealth bout with it in the last couple of months, but I don't think testing would shed light on that.
That's my understanding of the situation. Please enlighten if you have another take.
RE: COVID-19 - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 06-10-2020
No test yet, may soon.
RE: COVID-19 - Drunk Monk - 06-10-2020
my understanding is it depends what test you take, but you should only test if you have symptoms or have been in contact with a confirmed covidian.
i wouldn't bother to take it recreationally. it's not fun.
i hear most just get the nasal swab. i got the throat too (thanks kaiser). and all it told me was that both were negativo, nothing about antibodies or previous exposure.
RE: COVID-19 - King Bob - 06-10-2020
I would do the antibody test if I could get it, but there are questions about the accuracy. I feel like no need to test for virus if I'm not sick. I did have flu or something in early March, so I could have already had it. It felt like flu, but I also had a lot of stomach distress and my digestion was off. Both of those supposedly symptoms. I also had really bad chills, although my fever never went over 101. My lungs were weak for several weeks after.
Recently saw this article which was rather sobering.
