Alexandra Nelson followed all the recommended protocols: Wash your hands. Use hand sanitizer. Don’t touch your face. Spray everything with Lysol.
The St. Paul resident still contracted COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. She tested positive on Sunday during a trip to Chicago.

She said it was like she had the flu. All of this for a flu-like illness. I am beginning to lose my mind. Now, we are literally facing a great depression again. The ONLY thing the Dems could promote to try and get Trump out of office. Some of this ought to be criminal some how.
You’re not losing your mind. A lot of people around you are though!
Well, there go all the “recommended protocols.”
Huh - so she got the flu with aches and pains and is treating it with chicken soup.
Traveled to New York and Chicago. Attended a funeral. Stayed in hotels. Ate at restaurants.
Unless you are 90 years old and infirmed, kinda like Joe Biden, you have a very minimal risk of dying.
My gosh, people are running around with their hair on fire.
Five days from being exposed to not feeling well. You know what your body should feel like. If for any reason you don’t feel normal, call your doctor or TeleDoc for a screening.
After waiting many hours outside (emergency couldn’t accommodate her) she was diagnosed with WuFlu. They sent her home. “Come back to emergency, if you can’t breath.”
This ordeal cost her a $700 copay.
In spite of all her monk-like precautions, she failed because she had travelled to an infected area.
Stay home?
It's not a dem plot. It's worldwide. WATCH PRESIDENT TRUMP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. He knows it's real. He doesn't say or suggest it's a plot, a hoax or anything else. It's real. It's happening.
I am virtually certain that my son had it and he was living with me at the time, back around Christmas. I think I got a small dose of it because I had a sore throat and a low grade fever. I have a very strong immune system. My fiance at the time, now my wife, got a sore throat, too, about the same as I did. We both did Tamiflu as a precaution.
My son felt so bad, he was treated for the flu, but the test came back negative. I know some in the local medical community who are now looking back saying that, about that time, there were a lot of folks around here treated for the flu that did not test positive for the flu. I think this virus has already swept through our North Alabama community without a lot of fanfare.
Um, so what symptoms did she have?
No fever.
No cough...
.....
“Nelson, who is married and has two daughters, said she first began experiencing symptoms on Thursday. But unlike many people diagnosed with COVID-19, Nelson said she never got a fever or a cough.
“I didn’t have any of that,” she said. “I never had a fever. When I went in, my temp was 98.”
Minnesota health officials say symptoms of the virus include
fever,
body aches,
fatigue
and a dry cough.
If the infection becomes more severe, patients may have
shortness of breath,
trouble breathing and
coughing up thick phlegm from the lungs.”
If you watch the "news" you would think that. Stop watching. It's a real thing. Do what President Trump and VP Pence say to do. We'll win.
Hear! Hear!
This isn’t about you. It’s all about ensuring that our healthcare system is not overwhelmed. If that happens we are all f*cked.
So. Suck it up. Quit your bitching. And help us win this thing.
“Well, there go all the “recommended protocols.”
Yup.
I am convinced that I caught this thing on Thanksgiving weekend. Thought it was the flu (albeit with pretty severe respiratory symptoms). The ChiComs were lying and our borders were still open so likely it had already spread by then.
100% agree with you. This has now passed into the realm of insanity. We are tanking the entire economy over a bad cold that negatively impacts older and immuno compromised people. It’s complete madness.
Despite my battles here with Hockey Stick Graph Man I agree with you all. This country is on a wartime footing, and MY President has asked me to make some sacrifices to protect the most vulnerable among us.
In the spirit of my grandparents who overcame a depression and Hitler I intend to stand with yinz and do just that.
The country will emerge stronger. Trump is leading. Democrat finger-pointing is going to look very petty and small to most people.
“Well, there go all the “recommended protocols.” “
Wrong! She violated social distance guidelines. Best to read article.
