One test per family rule

A couple who are friends of mine in New Jersey both got it. They are fine now. They are about 50 though. She was tested first and was positive. They would not test him! One test per family rule! He had the same thing she had, so... Make your own conclusions.

Hopefully they will come up with a test to figure out who has had it and therefore probably, as of today's information, can't get it again. Then those people can help on the front lines without too much risk. Being retired, if I got through the virus, I would go volunteer at a hospital....
Good luck to all of us! I am self isolating as well. As usual, that's my two cents, it's worth what you paid for it...

Ps. This is the opportune time for the world to unite. It's not what the Chinese / Italians / (other country) did or didn't do, it's what we can all do to stop mother nature from weeding us out!

Correct at the time there were so few tests available and unless you were admitted no testing was offered. The only other option was to get down to Orlando to the drive-through testing centre that had just opened - but that was not an option due to being unable to leave to the house. The virtual Dr service was very good , kept in touch and gave instructions. The blood draw next week should reveal/confirm virus-free state and hopefully plasma can be used to help others.Plasma Donations from Recovered COVID-19 Patients

Glad you made it! Be well!

What you’re missing is there are not enough test kits and he had hallmark symptoms of COVID-19.

Any idea where you were exposed? Has your wife been tested?

China needs to be held accountable. They don’t get free pass. Italians are victims like the rest of the world. Yes, the the world needs to come together and ask the question? Is near slave labor worth it for profit? Business IMO need to get out of China if they won’t change the way they pollute rest of the world with majority of viruses either by accident or on purpose.

Thank you for posting your experience. Hope you continue to improve.

Thanks you for sharing you story!

I am so sorry you had to be subjected to an inquisition, along with the casting of aspersions.

I do not understand why you came under attack, but it is not the first time I have seen that happen around here. No wonder so many are unwilling to post. I appreciate your doing so. I consider what you did as a public service. My thanks.

I wish you and yours the best of health going forward.

What Boomer said.

Very interesting reading.

To grahambda, thanks so much for sharing your story. Along with a lot of info, it points out how slowly FL is progressing with testing. If 106,000 tests have been performed on a population of 21.5 million people, the % of population tested is approx 1/2 %.

Thanks for your post.

Thanks for posting. Although long it is a great read and raises many questions.
