A Charlotte woman hasn’t left her house in more than three weeks, yet still tested positive for COVID-19 late Thursday.
“I’m absolutely terrified,” Rachel Brummert, who already has an autoimmune disorder, said. “This is the sickest I’ve ever been and it’s the most scared I’ve ever been. From what I’m hearing about ventilators, it’s scary stuff. I’m really hoping I can wait this out at home.”
At a higher risk for complications due to her underlying condition, Brummert said she listened to the health experts. Other than a trip to the pharmacy more than three weeks ago, she hasn’t left her house once.
“I really thought I was doing everything right,” she said.
Brummert said aside from the pharmacist and her husband, who grocery shops but is temporarily living in a separate room, the only other person she’s come into contact with is a woman who volunteered to drop off groceries at her doorstep once. Brummert said the woman later tested positive for COVID-19.
“I barely had any contact,” she said. “I didn’t even touch her.”....
Sheesh. She probably didn’t know when the lady that delivered her food said “hello” a plume of aerosolized cv-19 wafted into her house.
Do they wipe groceries? Mail? It’s not enough to just be at home. The CDC has not done a good job communicating this.
Everyday I feel like everything is overkill, then I read this.
