Lakewood covid cases

[PlatinumGuy]

Well, my family can now join the statistics. DW tested positive. Her punishment for that will be needing to stay home with the kids who don't have antibodies for the duration of quarantine ;-).

RS

Refuah Sheleima.

Please consider getting her antibody treatment, if she is eligible, or any other available treatment. She should iyH be absolutely fine, but the cases that get bad get bad suddenly R"L, so taking any precautions in advance is not something to blow off.

Kimball offers treatment to certain people - call Bikur Cholim to find out the eligibility parameters. And don't let her get overworked - that means you stay home and watch them kids.

RS. Took my family 2 weeks from that point until every one of my kids were positive. BH all did well and we are almost done.

School made us test our daughter because others in her class had.  She had zero symptoms. She tested positive.   
Unnecessary testing, Unnecessary results.

Sounds to me that it's working as intended.

Why unnecessary? And what is there to be upset about?
She should now know to avoid being around vulnerable people for the next 10 days.

Avoid being around anyone for the next few days because she might infect others too. Even if they’ll be asymptomatic they can go on to infect others.

You’re positive, isolate, end of discussion.

[Mordyk]

Obviously we are quarantining. Dr. was quite impressed because he said many men continue to go to shul.

I still think life could have been simpler not knowing. we are careful around vulnerable people regardless since a year ago.

Looked into that because of your comments. She is not eligible for that (which on the overall is BH I think).

And don't let her get overworked - that means you stay home and watch them kids.

Of course, was in joke font (same as sarcasm font...)

Yeah, but the problem with this disease is that you can easily spread it to someone else who spreads it to someone else etc.  and some of those people are not that careful around vulnerable people. It's one thing when you have no reason to assume you are currently carrying and spreading the virus, but when you know you are positive (or have reason to suspect because of an exposure and can easily clarify with a test), don't you think it is responsible to find out and make sure you are not inadvertently responsible for that?
Don't mean to (again) start the whole "debate" about lockdowns and restrictions vs. עולם כמנהגו נוהג, just a little frustrated as a sister in law of mine who almost certainly has corona (no taste or smell) but is refusing to get tested so as to avoid the other people in her family who have not yet had it needing to quarantine (because by entertaining the fiction that she hasn't tested positive, she and by BIL cans somehow justify in their minds putting others at risk). I just don't get it.....

Like visiting but no real kissing or hugging grandparents that have not yet had covid. Standing far from immunocompromised relatives etc.

Plenty of young vulnerable people that you would never know

I'm not talking about knowingly walking around.  I'm talking about zero symptoms and happens to be came back positive...

[PlatinumGuy]

Do you not understand they are walking around shedding deadly virus?

[AsherO]

Asymptomatic people can be just as viral *eyeroll*

[Mordyk]

I understand that.  and as I said above that we are taking it seriously now that we know.  But even the Doctor said we should not have tested if she showed zero symptoms..
