The tests are garbage. My mother died less than 2 weeks ago. First test: Negative. Second test (not the quick-test): Positive. She died an hour after I got the lab results. 81 years old. Alzheimers for 10 years.
Very sorry to hear of your loss.
Sorry to hear about your mother.
My mother and father are in an assisted living/memory care unit (Dad in memory care, Mom in assisted living). There have been two positives in the memory care unit, both dead as of last week - about 2 weeks from diagnosis to death.
Now there is another case, we think it is in the assisted living portion.
At any rate, Mom has COPD and Dad has heart issues, but he is on anticoagulants, so that may help him.
It’s been 8 plus weeks since I have been able to see them.
The thought of them dying and not having been able to see them, plus not being able to have a proper funeral is almost too much to bear mentally - it leads to many angry thoughts.
I can only imagine what you are going through and I have the grim expectation that I may have to face the same reality sooner than later.
Again, I am very sorry for your loss.
Having said all of that - I believe what happened to your mother was totally preventable if we as a nation did the right thing with regard to protecting the vulnerable.
What is going on in the world and here (a supposedly free country) is just stupid, there is honestly no other way to put it. We are being stupid allowing this to happen to us - we could’ve been so much more intelligent about it, but we let ourselves be ruled by fear and allowed the ruling class to run roughshod over common sense. Those of us who were preaching common sense approaches and true science-based ideologies were shouted down, silenced and chastised or threatened with loss of liberty, but we did not fight back soon enough, or strongly enough.
