She's been tested and awaits results.
It takes several days as I understand.
She works in a hospital as a social worker. Her nineteen year old son is working his way through college as a food service worker in a nursing home with 9 positive cases as of now.
My sister-in-law, my nephew and niece were taking care of her boyfriend who is recovering from rotator cuff surgery.
My niece is 15 years old. It all falls on her.
They are in Western Massachusetts, a seven or eight hour drive from here; in any case, we're not sure we'd know what to do if we could get there..
I've read that only about 30% of those tested actually have Covid. She at least doesn't have the cough, so maybe it's just a flu.
We feel kind of helpless.

(1,871 posts)Trump's reluctance to aggressively use the defense production act to
force manufacturers to ramp up production of PPEs is a deadly disgrace - and
all because of "pressure" from industry. The people managing him behind the scenes are
equally disgusting.

(6,861 posts)She had symptoms and was tested for the virus about two weeks ago. Fortunately she tested negative. I hope that is the case for your sister-in-law.

To my knowledge though, he has no symptoms himself.
