Well. The day has arrived that I prayed would not. We are COVID19 testing today. Hubs was ill last week w GI issues, we thought was IBS. (Been through this many times in many years) and this morning, he has zero sense of smell. Coffee, vinegar, bleach, perfume, zero. 1/
I cannot stress this enough how cautious we have been. No family or friends since February. No eating out in restaurants. We stay home other than necessary pharmacy or grocery trips. Those are w all precautions & expedient. We wipe down anything that comes into this house 2/
with disinfectant, always proper hand washing and masks (N95 or higher) filtration. Proper donning & doffing of masks. Distancing from anyone possible in public. Grocery pickups and delivery to reduce physical visits to stores. Everything possible. And here we are. I am livid. 3/
Weâve done everything as close to perfect as possible. But plenty of people in this very bldg refuse to wear masks. Even though state mandate and local. Keep the precautions going. This, if it is COVID19 and I believe it is, was possibly a mild dose due to the careful way in 4/
which we live our daily lives. No way to really know. Iâm upset that so many just donât care. I have autoimmune disease so this takes my worries to a much higher level. But we know those who are perfect specimens of health die from this virus. Do not stop being cautious. 5/
Take every precaution. Stay home. Do all that you can to protect yourself and those around you. Weâve done everything possible & I am quite certain our tests will be +. I hope that I am wrong. But his onset of anosmia this morning sealed it for me. I am scared and I am angry. 6/
Thanksgiving isnât worth it. Stay home and maybe youâll get to have a wonderful celebration next year. Wear your masks properly, over NOSE and MOUTH. Stay home. Weâve done everything right and may have it. Donât take the risk. 7/
