COVID 19 REPORT--DAY 6
Beth came down with a head cold 6 days ago and had a temp of 99.9; I took her to see her Dr. There is a Rapid C 19 test that takes only 20 minutes for the result, but is costly compared to the free testing--fortunately her medical insurance covered it--she tested positive. She was informed she must quarantine for 10 days from the onset of symptoms. However, I must quarantine for 14 days from time of being exposed to someone who has tested positive, therefore I'm quarantined until Thursday the 29th. It's complicated, as some like to say. At any rate, Neither I nor Beth, nor any of our friends are suffering hardly any discomfort other than we would feel from a cold. I have yet to be convinced of the dangers of the C 19 virus. Yes, it is dangerous for those folks who are already sufferings from other illnesses that have compromised their immune systems, but I truly wonder how many folks have been hospitalized because of C 19 only; I also wonder how many deaths were from C 19, or were they from some other illness but tested positive for C 19. It is said statistics don't lie, but I think they can be very misleading. For instance, there is the case of the lady who wallowed in self pity--she sold her duplex house to her daughter on land contract. The lady was going to move to a senior living apartment complex, but after the legal papers were completed, she announced that she decided not to move and would continue to live in the downstairs apartment and pay $150.00 a month rent. It had been the daughter's plan to rent that unit for $250 per month. The payment on the 15 year mortgage at .06% on $30,000 was something like $375 (please don't quote me or do the math, this is just an example). After about 2 years the daughter decided she had to raise the rent as she was losing too much money, so the rent was raised to $175 per month. At this her mother went into total meltdown and began accusing her daughter of being a crook and a con artist--she blabbed this throughout the village and their church. Her explanation was, "She is charging me $175 per month and only pays me $200 per month on the mortgage. Definitely sounded like the daughter was ripping her mother off, but mother refused to pay the $175 so the daughter just paid her the difference between the rent and the mortgage--statistics don't lie, but they can really distort the truth.
So how bad is the C 19 at this time? I'll keep you posted as to how we're doing.
