I think it finally struck my family [View all]

My nephew's fiance, who is battling metastatic stomach, developed a cough and shortness of breath. She called her doc, who advised her to go to urgent care. She was only allowed to bring her cellphone and laptop, and my nephew was stopped at the door. They tested her for Covid19, but no results for 5 days. They found a blood clot in her lung. My nephew is self quarantining.

She is a lovely young woman. 34 and a high school biology teacher, working on her PHD. I'm so scared for her. And him.
