1. Gonna do my best to help out anyone who is confused by #Covid cause I’m in the middle of it right now and I think my families’ case is going to be repeated by a lot of folks in this country over the next few months ... let’s start at the beginning.
My wife is a hygienist

2. She worked 10 days ago at her dentist job where we believe she contracted the virus.
On Saturday, 3 days later, she had severe body aches. But she has a bad neck so she took meds and went about her day.
I was to fly home the next day but Sat night, she started to feel bad

3. On Sunday AM, she went downhill.
Fever, body aches, cough, fatigue. All the classic symptoms.
Mon -she and I both went to go get tested but she went to a doc office to get a flu test. Negative. But they told her that she prob didn’t have Covid cause she was breathing well

4. Wednesday, as we waited on test results, her breathing was impacted. I sent her to the ER where they did a 48 hr test. But there - they diagnosed her w anxiety. Her symptoms weren’t severe but they thought she was faking.
SHE HAD ALL the classic signs but the ER was like

5. Friday - she lost all sense of taste and smell. Body aches got bad and she got the call - positive.
Now, my daughter and I have been isolating ourselves from her for over a week. But my kid was with me 24/7 cause we thought my wife was sick and not us
Now my kid gets tested

6. Sat night - my kid pops a fever of 101.5. Our results come back at the same time. She is positive
But I’m negative. ??
How you might ask? We have no idea. My kid today - is tired. But if you talked to her - you would have NO IDEA she has Covid.
My wife is still dealing

7. I have no symptoms. I have this weird ear thing that feels like sinus pressure and I’m a mess so I’m not sleeping. Other than that - I could go run 3 miles right now.
Covid makes no sense. My wife is getting her sense of taste back but at night - she has severe pain

8. My wife is on day 10. My kid is on Day 3. The virus moves through your body at really different speeds depending on the person and their age.
For me - I just sit here and wait. And for now, I can’t go near my kid on Fathers Day cause I’m technically negative for Covid.

9. The nasal swab test is not back yet. That’s the one I’m wondering about.
If that is positive - I’m a asymptotic carrier and we can stop sleeping and living apart. But if that’s negative too ... I have no clue how I don’t have Covid after being w my kid for a week w her +

10. Ok sorry for the spamming of your feed but I just wanted to tell my story.
Covid is not the flu. Wear a mask.
You don’t want this stress. It all makes no sense and it’s why this SUCKS!
It’s Father’s Day and my kid has Covid. I don’t want that to be you.
Be safe!
