A friend and his wife from my EAA Chapter caught COVID at a large church camp meeting event. She went into the hospital on Wednesday with pneumonia and is recovering expecting to go home today. He stayed home to ride it out. Yesterday he got scared a bit by going to take a shower and blacking out in the shower. He's monitored his O2 and it has never gone below 94%. He did run a fever earlier in the week. He had diarrhea, which I feel was his undoing. Probably wasn't eating well and keeping hydrated and that took him down. He finally decided he should go to the ER. Being in no shape to drive, I went to go get him. I masked up and gloved up and had him do the same. He rode in the back passenger seat on the way to the ER, about 10-15 minute ride and he got out and went into the ER.
My wife totally freaked out about the whole thing, asking why 911 wasn't called to take him in an ambulance. Personally, I think spinning up a paramedic team and ambulance would have been wasteful. Anyhow, I'm now in isolation in the bedroom for a bit. I can get tested this weekend to see. I fond it highly doubtful that I will have contracted it. When I got home I stripped down and rubbed myself down with sanitizer.
So here I sit.
