My best friend's little girl was diagnosed yesterday. She's asymptomatic, but they're watching her like a hawk. She was one of our flower girls; I've talked about her on here before. Cartlynn is 6
How is the little girl doing now Debra? Would love a good update on her again 
She's doing great--still no symptoms and feels good. Normal little Carty!! Thanks for asking, Miss Roxie |

| So if someone is asymptematic how do they go about the quarantine? Do they stay in for the 14 days or do they have to test negative before they can resume going out? I read an article the other day about a lady who had it and she's symptom free but keeps testing positive. I believe it said she's going on 90 days plus with a positive test. Makes you wonder if she truly is positive or if the testing is screwy? I just don't know what to think of this whole deal anymore! |

Meredith is going to retest herself and Cartlynn Monday--if Mare tests negative, she's going back to work; Carty will go to the hay field with her daddy where it will just be the two of them. . . I had a customer come in today; she's a therapist at the nursing home, which has quite a few cases. She said a couple of weeks ago she was so sick she couldn't lift her head off the pillow. Tested negative at the nursing home. End of the week she was still very sick (with every single symptom of Covid) so she went to her doctor--tested negative again. She is convinced she had it though. As my grandma would say, this beats anything I've ever seen. |

I worry that people be so focused on the virus when it could be something else. And the virus has symptoms that matches so much other stuff! Kinda like EPM. Praying for them! She very well could have had the virus even if she tested negative, I dont think the tests very reliable! It takes awhile for the kinks to get worked out and since this whole deal started with getting paid for the positives Im pretty sure they didn't work on the accuracy of tests! I had a weird dry cough that I had never had before back in November that lasted bout 2 mths. I was around 3 coworkers that was so sick they had to go to the hospital and all they could come up with is respiratory bc the flu tests was negative. We think they had the virus. My immune is pretty good why I think I just got a touch of it and of course I was spraying everything they touch bc I didnt want to catch what they had which I do anyways if anyone sick around me! And at that time people came in sick so they dont get pointed especially if they have high points! uggg but now its different. |

Mare got a call just a little while ago from AR Dept of Health and was told Carty could go with her daddy Monday and Mare could go back to work. She was confused because all we've been told all along was 14 day quarantine. . . |

I rarely post on here anywhere due to the lack of ability of some to essentially "play nice." Yet, with that being said I feel that some people only watch the number being posted and don't truly understand the severity of the situation. It is very black or white... you get it or you don't. You die or you don't. Unless you are directly in healthcare dealing with it it is hard to fathom the events that are taking place are even true. It is every bit of real! To watch these patients miserable, sad, lonely and to die that way is traumatic for the patient the family and providers as well. Yes the flu kills just as many people but we have to be aware that we know the flu! We have vaccines and diagnostic testing that takes 4 minutes to result, we know how to manage the flu and it tends to only be bad for those with underlying health concerns or the newbies! COVID is not that easy patients are either sick or they are not! Testing doesn't come back quickly a lot of it is inconsistent. We have had many 1st time swabs next negative and reswabs be positive. Is it the effectiveness of the test? Or is it the technique? Or is it the low viral load? Who knows!! Some people are positive with no issues but a headache but then others are dying!! Some are good and go home to self quarantine and then come back declining so rapidly that it's all hands on deck for any kind of chance of survival. Resources are limited, providers are exhausted and starting to get sick themselves. We are reusing equipment and it makes our chance of contracting it more significant. It's the fear of the unknown! Does it all warrant closures? Hell idk! But to disregard it entirely is not the answer either. I have zero political stance on it!! I just know that dealing with it in the ER at one hospital and ICU at another puts me at the front lines knowing that I never NEVER wish the chance on anyone else! We are having such an influx on positive patients that it's leaving us without any space for regular sick patients. Wearing a mask out and about is not going to keep you from contracting it it's supposed to minimize it but with thst being said the virus is aeorosalized so unless u properly wear PPE your never not at risk. So again what is the best case scenario. Hell idk!!
It's ridiculous that any one dies alone. That thought brings me to my knees. I don't care about contacting the **** disease, I want to be there for my loved ones. It kills such a small number of people, statically, that no one should die alone. And also, how many would have survived if they were NOT completely isolated from their loved ones? Even if it were just a few, it would be worth it. Health care people see the worst of it, the rest of us see the ones who didn't have to go to the hospital and there in lies the difference in our perspectives, I think. I personally know of NO ONE who has been tested positive. So, my view is VERY different from yours and I am so thankful that so far that is the case for me and mine.
GLP, There's a couple that we are close to us at church - reminds me so much of my late grandparents. He's had cancer issues and they kept putting off procedures due to "the virus." He kept getting worse, and now they feel it's too late to be able to give effective cancer treatment. She's tiny - he's tall. She can't help him enough - hospice only comes quick to check vitals - Home Health is very expensive. So she has had to make the heart-breaking decision to put him into a nursing home which means she cannot visit him, anymore, as of today.....Because of this virus. They met in their childhood when she would vacation from Texas at at his family dude ranch in Colorado. Happily married and retired. Yet, now what an INCREDIBLY TRAGIC END TO THEIR MARRIAGE. We went to their house after church yesterday and he had his dachsunds in his lap and we watched the ball game (like a God wink, Texas was playing Colorado). My husband and I went out to eat after that and I reread her text to me and realized that when she said "it is his last day here" I thought she was talking about her son visiting from Nebraska - No, she was talking about her husband! I realized that was likely the last time I'd ever see him (and I cried sitting at the restaurant table). For him and her. I can't imagine! Not sure which location he is going to, but my mom cares for a lady in the same city at assisted living and my mom sits in a lawn chair outside the window of the facilty, must wear a mask so the widow lady can't even share a smile with my mom, as they talk through their cell phones, because they aren't even allowed to open the window. |

| In MN we are now mandated to wear masks anywhere in public. I have never been a mask hater but it feels ridiculous because I cannot find the logic in this. So much science that disputes masks and even the packaging says it doesnt protect against covid. I work in a very dirty environment (jail) and I worry more about my immune system because we are exposed to all kinda of viral stuff often. Its super hard because I dont see an end in sight. Of course, I want to do my part in protecting others but we went to eat and 2 people actually wore their masks when not eating out of about 20. I guess I am complaining that it doesnt seem realistic to maintain. I have also read numerous stories regarding people getting sick FROM wearing their masks (different sick than covid). Even many elderly (at risk) people I know, said they'd rather get Covid than live like this any longer. |

        Location: Kansas | I enjoy our casino and you're required to wear a mask "unless" you're smoking or vaping. This makes absolutely no sense at all. The smoke and vape garbage is coming right out of the smokers' mouths and being blown into the air (or other patron's faces). You can also take it off when you're drinking which makes some sense anyway. Yep, I've politely complained but am roundly ignored. |
