Coronavirus may have hit home

in #coronavirus6 years ago (edited)

My dad, who is 79, has come down with a fever of 101, feels bad, and has lost his sense of taste. His heart doctor has recommended he head to an emergency room to be checked.

My parents self-quarantined really strictly during the first part of the panic, but– like everyone else– they “got over it”. I tried to continue to keep my distance from them, but they just stopped going along several weeks ago.

Their church just started having in-house services again a couple of weeks ago, and then yesterday it was reported that the preacher’s wife tested positive for Covid-19. So they were going back to online services again, but it may have been too late.

I don’t try to control anyone else. I will give my advice and suggestions, but I don’t force my ideas on anyone (sometimes this is really hard).

As I’ve said from the beginning, I’m not panicked over the virus, but I take it seriously. (And, I’m opposed to mandates.)

It may not be coronavirus. With his age and condition, it’s a risk no matter what it turns out to be.

Update: I wasn't told the whole story. It may be his heart rather than any virus.
