My wife tested positive on Friday, I expect to test positive whenever I can get a place next week. One kid (5yr old) with very mild symptoms. We are all healthy and so far my wife's symptoms are very mild.

My mother cared for my step-father at home, without developing any form of symptoms, I am hoping this runs in the family...

Any idea where you got it?

 

[scudsucker]

Any idea where you got it?

Yes. One specific individual - a friend - who went to a doctor and explained symptoms, and was told it was bronchitis.

My wife spent some time with her on Saturday and Sunday; on Tuesday the friend went for a test. So much for the doctor!

My wife's group of friends now also have 3 people directly infected from the same person at the same small, outdoor gathering last weekend (about from about 7 girls who went for drinks in the outside section of a restaurant)

Who goes partying when you have "bronchitis"?

Crazy.

Hardly partying, and the anti-biotics she was given appeared to have cleared the cough. Unfortunately that was just coincidence.

I have declined two invites this weekend. I am glad I did.

My sister's boss was tested on Wednesday and got a positive result on Thursday and on Friday he took the wife and three kids for a weekend holiday to Stanford. And that is why we have a third wave, morons like this.

My daughter tested positive on Thursday, her husband and I on Sunday. Looks like a colleague from her office brought it in to a meeting (why they’re even having face to face meetings god only knows). Ten people at their office all infected. That’ll kill any productivity they may have had.
