Why would it make you nervous? Does he come to your home? I don't know if anybody I know has it or not. People around here are not going to run to the doctor. They don't want to be quarantined. It would not make me nervous if the people in the house closest to me had it.  They stay in their house.  They don't come to mine. I have known several people who were tested but they all came back negative.

No I haven't seen him out and about like he usually is, now I know why. It just makes me nervous because it's so close.

Oh goodness. I hope he makes a speedy recovery. My aunt's husband (both of them live in NY) has it. A very stressful situation that is compounded by the fact that the state I am in (Georgia) is currently under shelter-in-place orders.

I get that.  I don't interact too closely with my neighbors other than the ones that are family.  I say hello or wave.  Don't get close enough to share breathing space. lol  Hopefully he will be okay.  They had to put a local woman on a vent yesterday.  That is the first time this has happened here.

I don't know any one personally.  I hear my county has 8 persons with the virus.  I don't know where they live.  My neighbors seem to be ok.  We make sure to keep our distance.  Kids in stores bother me.  They don't seem to understand the 6 ft apart rule.

I don't know anyone personally. unfortunately, with this virus we are all potential carriers since many never exhibit symptoms. the best we can do is protect ourselves wear a mask when out ,social distancing and washing hands often etc,
Everyone stay healthy and safe. :rainbow: :peace: :wave:
Be grateful for what you have and you will receive more than you ever expected

If you believe it you can achieve it.

Someone in the town that I live in just died of CoVid-19.   I didn't know him but I actually met him when I was working in the homeless shelter.

I don't know anyone personally but my friend's boyfriends mother has it.  She's 81 and has been in ICU for over a week now.

My niece, who is a hospital nurse, got it about a month ago, but she has since recovered very nicely. Of course, she's young, in her mid-20s, so it probably didn't hit her as hard as maybe some older people. I only see her a few times a year, though, on holidays, so I'm not worried about catching it from her. i just get a little nervous in the grocery store when I can't avoid someone without a mask passing right by me in the aisle.  :peace: :heart:

Our county has 5 cases now.  Next door Minnesota county has 126 cases and 1 death, and the next door South Dakota county has 1555 cases with 3 deaths.

I just found out that a wonderful little lady that I know has passed away from the virus.  My niece-in-law's grandma,  Mamaw Jones, has succumbed to the disease.  She was such a wonderful, loving, giving person.  (She didn't live close to me.)  She's in the arms of Jesus now. 
Have a wonderful day!
