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.”
Brummert said she gets the mail every few days, but always wears gloves. However, she didn’t think to wear gloves when bringing in packages from her front porch. In addition, she said she hasn’t eaten takeout.
Brummert has experienced many of the symptoms associated with COVID-19, including cough, fever, headache and trouble breathing, but even so, she said it took several days to meet the criteria to be tested.
Regardless of the source of the infection in her case, Brummert knows her diagnosis is just another reminder that COVID-19 is easy to get and often hard to trace.
“I’ve never had anything like this before,” she said. “I’ve had the flu. This is not the flu. It’s a whole nother monster.”
Who visited
A ventilator is the exact wrong treatment.
It’s almost as if they want people to die.
For those that don’t read the articles:
” 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.”
Kinda sounds like the flu.
Well, it does travel through the air. You chatted with her face-to-face and that's often enough to spread it.
“A ventilator is the exact wrong treatment.
It’s almost as if they want people to die.”
When they reach that point, there is NO other treatment.
Most likely it was the woman who dropped off the groceries.
My exact thought.
Yep.
Whenever we get grocery deliveries my Mom puts on the gloves and mask(And sunglasses) than clorox’s every item..does NOT bring the bags into the house..as far as the mail we dont take out the mail for 24 hours she also puts on gloves and a mask before opening up anything
“Kinda sounds like the flu.”
Only it was COVID-19.
Yeah, she stayed home and had contact with someone infectious with with CCP Virus. Duh!
Id like to know if she wore a mask when the woman came over to bring the groceries, that will be the key to figuring out how she got it
What’s obviously missing in this piece? How is this lady being treated? Is she being given the proven — yet highly controversial(just kidding) — HCQ/AZ/zinc regimen? If not, then why not? If so, then she doesn’t have much to worry about.
Oh well.....
“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.”
The likely source.
Which is very different from what the headline implies.
Journalistic malpractice on the part of WCNC.
This particular virus also lives a long time on surfaces touched by an infected person. Days depending on the type of surface.
