Just got a call from my youngest's playgroup (kindergarten) telling me that my child has to self isolate for 14 days as one of his 4 year old friends has tested positive for covid.. Its left me numb as I visited and stayed with my mum last night for the first time in 6 weeks.. so now worrying that I might have passed it to her... more prayers...
Prayers going up John. It's no consolation to you but the PCR test used to supposedly test for covid is a very unreliable indicator. There are many false positives
You can say that again my household is into our 9th week of test don't test.. watch for symptoms... chest infections head colds... test... worry... Its enough to drive you insane. now we have another 14 days of watch and isolate. Poor children are totally fed up
Every test we have had have been blessed by the sign of the cross and prayers said to the Holy Spirit of truth... So definitely no false positives coming from God
Your family has really had a terrible time of it John. It is so stressful for the children, and yes, it can drive you crazy. Hopefully your mom, and all of you will be okay, and by the grace of God you can put all of this behind you.
try not to feel responsibility here John....we are all potential carriers or victims. This will continue to be until a vaccination proves effective. I’ll be praying for you all!
John i know this sounds weird maybe but you could have your mom take pepcid ac (famotidine) It is a protease inhibitor that severely retards the virus. Also a glass of tonic water (quinine)a day. (I mix it with water) i do both of these thing as a prophylactic against the virus.
honestly, just to calm you down, I wonder if this is picking up the common cold (another coronavirus) in error all over the world. My cousin and her daughter were positive and said it was no worse than a cold (because it was a cold?)
Good thinking, AED! I take a pepcid every morning. Now don't laugh ...I make a tonic water ' mocktail ' every evening. I can't stand the taste of tonic water, so I add a tiny bit of grenadine, and a little orange juice, it looks just like the tequila sunrise cocktail that was so popular back in the day, minus the alcohol of course.
God bless her she is 87 and is fitter than me.. She is the most simplistic eater never tasted a pizza in her life she even removes the batter of a fish.. So no hope of asking her to take anything.. You know she has the most fairest skin I've ever seen she takes a glass of lukewarm water every morning before breakfast and has done so since she was a child..
