2. Most people don't fully recover after just 2.5 weeks. They better monitor their health.

Some people, especially younger adults, who seem to have had mild cases or were asymptomatic, have been dropping from Covid-induced strokes weeks later. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/06/200604095600.htm

55% of coronavirus patients still have neurological problems three months later. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/55-of-coronavirus-patients-still-have-neurological-problems-three-months-later-study-2020-08-07?reflink=mw_share_facebook

This is no 2-week thing. This is not the flu.

3. "Thank God, we're healthy."

Sadly they no longer are "healthy".

He can only hope they didn't get a concentrated load of it in their bodies, otherwise it sits there still festering and doing slow damage inside.

4. He got infected from close, long time family/friends who had been self isolating

and wearing masks too. His advice..."do not let ANYONE into your home". "You must test them first and if they test negative the next day, then let them come over".

The problem with this advice is that tests are still hard to get, especially if you are asymptomatic. And getting results withing 24 hours is not likely either. So basically, have NO ONE come over to your house.

5. Or if you have to, wear masks and open up windows to let the air

into the apartment/house.

6. I would have them go around the house to

the backyard, if possible.

I saw on the news a few weeks ago that some people who were at a family BBQ said that they went into the house just one time each (to use the bathroom) and they got Covid, some did die. I am assuming they didn't wear a mask to go into the house and that one time was enough to get infected.

7. Yea, but they are also eating bbq.

Even though it spreads more by air than by touch, they could have gotten it grabbing food.
Also, it might have spread by air even outside, since they were likely not socially distancing.

8. You're right.

Anything and everything could be transmitted it seems.
