I've been placed in quarantine for 10 days.

I work in a clinic and developed a pretty bad cough over the weekend, a cough I'm ninety percent sure is an asthma flare. I lost my nebulizer when I moved, so I called my doctor to get another one. He put me on quarantine. I did have a touch of fever on Saturday but I took two Tylenol and the fever broke and hasn't returned. There are loads of us from work on quarantine right now. They practically send you home if you as much as sneeze. For now, we have to use our sick time for quarantine, but the union is trying to get us administrative time paid off. We will see.

Could borrow my nebulizer. I bought it 20 years ago for a kitten practically born with pneumonia...it worked for her...
But, hey!, any port in a storm!!! Take care ❤
