My 72 year old neighbor told me today she was told to isolate herself for awhile?? that she has a mild form of the virus, but they won't test her because she is not running a high fever?? her fever was 100 then a day later went to 99 ..so all is well? Dr. told her to isolate?? I am so confused. This neighbor dropped off some coffee creamer for me (unasked for btw) and we sometimes have had very quick convos distanced such as good morning ....but I did walk her dog last week....Her daughter has her dog now. |

Get tested. I might wait a few days to do it, but I would get tested. Just in dealing with my dad, I find that the elderly sometimes underplay with covid, because they don't want to be alone. They don't want to discourage company, even when they know they should. My dad repeatedly tells me he isn't going anywhere, and the next three things out of his mouth are about eating in a restaurant with friends, going to church, and getting a haircut, (and btw the barber's wife is someone we knew a long time ago and is now a nurse at an assisted living, and she came by to say hello when the barber called her to tell her who was in his chair.) Then, he thinks I'm overreacting by wearing a mask inside his house when I visit for the first time in nearly 4 months. I tell him our sister facility in his town has had 5 deaths and 16 infections, and I don't want to bring it back to my residents and KILL them. Sorry for the rant, but how can he be lonely? He has a much more active social life than I do right now. Grrr... |

Thanks, she does have a husband, so she is lucky he is around for her. But, I just found it all very confusing when she texted me about what was going on. |

Update: I have come to the conclusion that said neighbor exaggerates illness for some reason. To gain sympathy? |
