All that remains: here in my afterlife as a 'mainstream' blogger, with what little I know.

Wife exposed to Coronavirus at hospital job
Well this is surreal. Wife exposed on late shift to Covid19 admitting patient today. A person she identified as a co-worker was the passenger in car that pulled up to emergency center. Jen is covering there, because no elective surgery for a trained tech. The woman was getting out, started passing out and threw up on ground, missing my wife.

Jen didn't have an n95. Even if she had, it wouldn't correctly fit her face. She's tried in past. They were not prepared for this arrival. People are supposed to call ahead before being seen, or arrive by ambulance. Wife and a nurse were exposed, lacking proper garb for such an extreme case.

She's home now. I worked into night to get her bunker ready. A shower curtain separates us on the lower house level. Jen gets a mattress on floor with dresser, small fridge, adjacent bathroom and access to garage. We figured 14 days for the girl in the plastic box-room.

My daughter who needs mom most nights is being angsty, where I'm offering comfort. They are constantly thick as thieves. It will be an adjustment...for all.

She can't get tested, even as hospital employee. You get sent home until your symptoms are bad. Let's pray that doesn't happen.
🙏
