She has been very sick for a week. I spoke to her yesterday, and it was so frightening to hear how difficult it is for her to breathe. She lives near Spokane, WA. She has absolutely no idea where she might have contracted it because she thought she was doing a good job of social distancing. Her early symptoms were a fever of 100 to 100.5 for a few days with body aches and her chest feeling like a band was across it. She is very weak and totally exhausted. Now one of her symptoms is pain hypersensitivity. If she bumps into something, the pain is excruciating. She has no problem with taste or smell.

My son-in-law works in a care facility in Tacoma, WA. He was sick for several days, but his test came back negative. His problem now is lack of protective gear to wear at work.

What a nightmare this all is, and we have the most incompetent person in the world running our country right now.

She lives in Brooklyn, mostly works from home. She has a master's in public heallth, not sure how she could use it. My sister has suggested she be tested for antibodies, if positive she would be in a position to help lots of people, maybe donate plasma. She works for Indivisible, is in charge of voter resgistration in New England, New York and Wisconsin.
