My Husband just tested positive for COVID,,,, [View all]

damn,,,, We have avoided it all this time but now it's in our space. We live in Senior Apartments and we are self-isolating, I think there's a little epidemic happening here,,,, Lots of folks are sick, but I wonder how many are not testing themselves for COVID. I plan on sleeping on the couch tonight, because I tested negative. I have emphysema and need to try to stay well. We have received all the vaccines for COVID so hopefully he will have a mild case.

I'm just whining,,,, thanks for listening.
