Just heard this morning that my Mother in Law’s nursing home is the site of a new cluster. She had a pleural effusion earlier this winter. At 97, I am pretty sure she would not fare well.
We are not shocked, but it “stings” when it hits close to home.
Just found out a lady we know had it. Thought it was strep for the better part of a week but when the antibiotics didn’t work they tested her.
She slept for 2 weeks straight. As in slept 23.5hrs a day. Had no taste for anything. Drank water, presumably peed, and slept. For 2 weeks.
Said it whupped her ass, and was definitely NOT the flu or strep.
She’s in her mid 30’s.
She’s still in quarantine because she needs a negative test now.
