Just found out my mother has covid

[03Lightningrocks]

She is 77 but in very good health. Very active. She got her test results back yesterday. She thinks she has had it about a week so far. The only symptoms are a headache and tired. She lives in Rowlett which is experiencing a spike at the moment. Doctor told her she will be out of danger zone if no further symptoms show up in the next several days. Quarantined at home.

Anyone on the forum been tested positive yet or had close relatives in texas test positive?

Very sorry to hear. Prayers she continues with no symptoms.

Please keep us updated on her progress. Still hearing that hydroxychloroquine helps. Suspect that is why Africa is doing so well.

Prayers for you mom and her quick recovery!

praying it goes great.
77 good health and active, she should by all accounts fly through.

i have many friends that got it, and only one had to be hospitalized, he had copd and diabetes that made him weak
the rest had a fever, it broke and 2 weeks of stay at home.

Hope she recovers quickly. Not everyone has major issues with it. My wife’s step-Grandmother is in a rehab facility recovering from a fall a double break in her leg. She’s 90 and they had a major outbreak there. She had very minor symptoms and is now COVID free.

I've had at least three family members that have had it so far, including one that has other illnesses. All recovered fine without hospitalization.

A couple of my older cousins had it, not sure what all symptoms they had, but they said they were sick. Both got over it. Also had a co-worker catch it, he had loss of smell, headache, fever, coughing, very tired, most of the main symptoms. I think he was out of work for a couple of weeks, IIRC. He's about 40 and seems to have recovered okay.

One of my uncles out in Georgia got it in June and it almost killed him. Full hospitalization, ventilator... the whole bit. They saved him with the blood transfusion bit and experimental regeneron. No way to know which one saved him. He is clear now but still suffering from some damage to his lungs while he had it. I don't know if it is true, but I have been reading it has slowly been mutating to a less dangerous virus. She started having a migraine a week ago and after a couple days was tired and run down. She was tested Wednesday and got results Friday. She said she doesn't even have the sniffles so her Doctor thinks she is going to be fine. She is very active in her church and spends a lot of time with church friends. I don't know if she got it going to church or what but I can tell you she isn't the type to hide in the basement. Thanks for the well wishes everyone. It is a funny feeling when it strikes so close to home.

Prayers for a quick recovery without lasting effects

[Jusme]

Prayers for a full recovery. Both my SIL and BIL had it. My SIL got the sickest with fatigue, headache, loss of taste, slight fever, etc.. My BIL had almost no symptoms. Both fully recovered with no apparent lingering effects.

My wife and two children tested positive (I was told with 100% reliability). I tested negative (was told with 85% reliability) and never had symptoms. We all quarantined at home for two weeks, with me off in the guest room. Two weeks later, their symptoms came and went (mostly mild -- wife was easily winded, and felt like crap for a few days with a fever). My son never showed any symptoms, which is probably how they all caught it (asymptomatic kid-to-kid). I never had symptoms and again tested negative at the end of our family quarantine. I still have no clue why I didn't catch it if it's so contagious.
