Do you have a relative who is directly affected by the virus?

Not that I'm aware of.  I pray for all my friends, family and answermug members that we all stay safe and healthy. 

My aunt (dad's sister) is a nurse and my cousin (mom's brother's daughter) is also a nurse.  My town has one case and the neighboring city where my aunt works has two cases so I don't know if she's been exposed to it or not but my cousin works at a hospital in the Denver area so she's dealing directly with Coronavirus patients but so far she hasn't gotten sick with it.

No medically.  I do have a SIL who works in medical but truthfully I see her once a year so I don't know if or how it effects her. 

Financially. I know some who lost their job. One who is certain is going to be laid off soon. 
Businesses that are forced to closed. 

My cousin is a nurse, and is similarly affected. I have several friends who also work in other areas of healthcare in hospitals and other facilities. Many of my co-workers are 'in the trenches', still providing direct care and support.  I'm very fortunate that my work can be done remotely and I'm extremely grateful. 


Sending good thoughts for your daughter and all of your family! 

Not yet. Stay tuned!

My eldest niece and her husband are OB-GYNs.  They work at a small hospital.  A tornado swept through Jonesboro yesterday.  Fortunately, it was a mile from their home, but there is a lot of devastation in their community which means people will not be able to "stay home."

My cousins partner is a nurse he was recently been in contact with 3 Covid 19 positive patients, and then came down sick with thumping headache, high temperature, and cough, body aches and has passed that onto my cousin,  she said she feels really awful, feels cold but temperature is 38.7, she has two young children. He said they are not providing protective clothing to all NHS staff, neither are they testing the staff so this makes transmitting the virus to each other and non positive patients a high risk.

No, thank God. My ex wife wants to constantly travel back and forth to another state to see her boyfriend and expose my children to this freaking virus. It probably won't be long until someone I know is affected by this, it's at that point I will take action.

Kind of my brother from another mother went into self isolation yesterday because  he was in contact with someone who has the virus so I"m pretty worried for him. Cheers!

None I know of at the moment....:(
