Just found out my cousin back home was tested positive. She went to 1 hospital twice and they turned her away both times I guess because the symptoms she was having wasn't strong enough. She then went to another hospital and they admitted her with pneumonia. She found out today she had it. They put her to sleep and shes on a ventilator because she has chronic asthma. My mom works for a senior living retirement home and they have a strict policy that if you have been around someone that was tested positive, you have to tell them and stay home quarantine for 14 days because she was around my cousin and her son recently. My mom says feels ok but man this **** is freaking me out thinking how many of my family members can/could've contracted this just from being in contact with my cousin. This is starting to hit home for me know. I cleaned my apt up and down today. Sanitized everything. I trust my cousin will beat this thing. So just trying to stay positive best I can. Please be vigilant out there guys.
And to follow up on this. What sent my cousin to the hospital was that she was having issues breathing. Both times the doctors blamed her issues on her asthma and sent her home because she had no fever. (The 2nd time, they gave her medicine which didn't work anyways because they misdiagnosed her). But I thought they said people that had underlying conditions ie chronic asthma are more prone to the virus?? And people can have it and show no symptoms. Why send her home and not admit her?? Ok so now we have a bigger issue because there were people around my cousin at the hospital that sent her away like doctors, nurses, other patients. Plus my cousin took an uber to the hospital. All those people that may have come in contact with her need to know she has it and they need to be quarantined to right? All my family that has come in contact with her are taking their precautions now but what about the others?? The first hospital was irresponsible when handling my cousins claim imo. Being irresponsible is how this junk spreads. As I said Please be vigilant out there guys and responsible.
