Coronavirus Comes To Town

Well, COVID19 sure spread rather quickly, and is now hitting close to home.

One of our friend's entire family just got diagnosed with coronavirus.

Basically, they got it as one of the teachers at their school was one of the couple persons who had contact with one of the cases that had traveled internationally and was then tested and diagnosed in Oakland County with it, and the teacher gave it unknowingly to at least some of the kids in his class.

Well, their kid got it and brought it home and they all have it.

This virus certainly is not just very contagious, it's extremely contagious.

So they may have been just a tad late in closing the schools if they were trying to stop the spread, or they may have been able to head off further spread from other schools, we'll see.

Luckily, we had not seen them recently and not at all after their contact so no risk of spread to us there at least.

Basically, our friends describe having the coronavirus as being achy and fevery and tired, but basically just like other flus they have had before. They're in good spirits and doing fine.

They're on home quarantine for now. We left a supply drop for them on their porch today.
