    Posted: April 03 2020 at 11:05pm

Tuesday I found out one of my co workers has covid-19. She's been sick since last Monday, went to the hospital Saturday, they tested her and the results came back this past Monday. She called me the next day to let me know. That same day I found out another co worker had also been tested and had bronchitis and she said she would let me know about her test when she got the results. Another co worker also has pneumonia. I have been off work since March 18th. So far I'm ok, but I did come in to contact with the person with pneumonia 10 days ago, which I  found out today she also has covid-19. The person with the bronchitis is in the hospital and was put in an induced coma and on a ventilator today I found out from a relative. I work in a shelter, but I help people take protective orders, go to court, organize trainings, etc. Which all that is closed right now so I'm not considered essential personnel, thank God. So now I'm just waiting to see if I get sick.

Oh, I pray that you are ok.  It is so difficult when you work and hope others are not sick.  Keep us informed!

This is dreadful news Penny.  Although you are on course for a mild or asymptomatic infection at worst, we will all still worry for the rest of the two weeks.

Please keep us up to date.

Yes. I have our work has had me off since the 18th since I'm not essential, so I'm very lucky. I last had contact with one of the people 10 days ago, so Wednesday will make the two weeks. I have asthma, so I have been taking my breathing machine every day just as a precaution to keep my lungs clear. And staying home of course.
