I received notice from my healthcare provider that I tested positive for covid 19. Wanted to post this to really warn people that this is real and obviously easy to catch. I'm already back to good health with only a mild lingering cough. Luckily I am only 40 with no underlying health concerns. Please be careful and pay attention to guidelines and your own health. It's not worth spreading this to loved ones and friends. Stay safe out there

Not to get too personal but do you have any idea how you may have got it? Glad you are feeling better. Too bad the media won't mention, usually, how many people have recovered. Thanks for the heads up.

Wow..was wondering who of us would be the first. Glad to hear you got better. I'm only a year or two younger than you but I've had life long Athsma. Not sure how that would play into things if I get it. Praying I can avoid it until a vaccine or widely available cure is available. The hydroxycloroquin is looking very promising.

Glad you are recovering.
This bug is nasty.
Hoping no one else on the forum has to wrestle this virus.

Good to hear you are recovering.
How are you spending your time in quarantine?

It's gonna be everywhere, it's just a matter of time. All of those moronic spring breakers and Mardi Grasers are taking it back to their cities and towns as we speak... it's coming...
Good to hear you are recovering Vern!
Chris, I would bet it could be devastating for you... BE CAREFUL!
My mom has COPD, my step-dad has a heart condition, my MIL has diabetes and my FIL has COPD. I do have the advantage of a generally anti-social personality, never thought that would be a strength!

Little update. Wyoming had very few cases last week. I am still the only diagnosed case in my county. I believe I caught this at a small family gathering. The numbers you are seeing in the news is probably very low compared to the real numbers. My pregnant daughter had to fight to get tested after I was diagnosed and they didnt test my son in law. Also they are not testing the other members of my family that are living in my house. Also the symptoms I had were a very mild fever for about 12 hours and body aches for 2 days. Cough started 2 days after I was tested. Only reason I got a test was because I have responsibilities in the food grade areas of my work. Please please please isolate yourself if at all possible and pay attention to your body and what it is telling you. It could save someone's life. Vern

Thanks for all the well wishes guys. Be careful out there. Would really like to hear that I'm the only one on here who has to deal with this when it's all said and done.
