My daughter and her new spouse have to self-quarantine for 2 weeks after coming in contact with someone who later tested positive. They found out Wednesday evening so we didn't get together for Thanksgiving. They are getting tested today so keeping my fingers crossed and praying every test they take comes back negative.

 

 

update; daughter hasn't received her test results yet, but said today that she has a cough, sore throat, headache, and cannot taste or smell anything 😐...doesn't know if she has a fever (no thermometer) but doesn't feel like she does, and she isn't having any problems breathing. This sucks...

 

On the positive side, my niece and cousin both had COVID months ago, with my niece describing the same symptoms...both were ok. My daughter is younger than they are so hopefully that's a good sign.

When you say "came into contact" ... how close was the contact and for how long?

Apparently, some people will only learn the hard way (like in the story visionary posted above):

 

El Paso was still grieving when the coronavirus arrived. Now, death has overwhelmed it.

 

EL PASO — The coronavirus has overwhelmed El Paso for months, with few signs of abating.

 

Inmates were paid to move hundreds of bodies into mobile morgues; the National Guard is now in charge of the grim task. Funeral homes have turned storage closets into freezers to hold the dead. A crematorium broke down from overuse. The city’s convention center has been transformed into a field hospital. The county judge wonders whether the community has enough gravesites.

 

But for those not on the front lines, the same finger-pointing politics, virus denial, boredom and fear of losing livelihoods that have divided the country are compromising the collective will of a community that is mourning tragedy upon tragedy.

 

The city unified in the face of hatred last year, adopting the “El Paso Strong” ethos after 23 people were killed in an allegedly racist attack at a Walmart. El Paso is now struggling to summon the solidarity to transcend indifference and fatigue as scores of people are dying each day in a persisting pandemic.

 

“Unfortunately, as human beings, we want to see things for ourselves. We physically watched the shooting and could see the danger,” said Ana Lilia Holman, whose 86-year-old father, William Howard Holman, died of covid-19 on Nov. 12. “But we can’t see this virus, so people tend to doubt how severe it really is.”

Some of my wife's colleague in her homecare caught it, and all lost taste and smell.

So I fear that your daughter will have a positive result out of the test.

 

So I would strongly suggest you and everyone around you to be cautious.

I haven't had strong taste since February or March.... I can't tell if it is because I had the COVID virus, taste buds changing due to age or some other sinus virus I had.

Not sure...she didn't say and I didn't ask. She has tested positive now, though...
