Hi, I wanted to let you all know that I tested positive for COVID-19. I suspect that many, many people in the community have/had it but just haven’t been tested. I’m fine now mostly, a little short of breath and occasional cough.
We are following recommendations to keep myself and the kids and my husband quarantined at home for the next 7 days (which will be 14 days total since my symptoms started) even though they are not showing any symptoms. There’s a chance they could still develop symptoms so are not yet in the clear. Technically I am supposedly in the clear, not contagious anymore, but I’m staying home for the next week anyway. Since the day I got sick I have been nervous about the coronavirus and have stayed home and canceled events and tried to take every precaution to keep other people safe. For the first 72 hours I hardly even saw the kids and certainly did not touch them as I was mostly confined to the bedroom.
On Friday, 2/28 I woke up with a sore throat and headache. By noon I was finding it difficult to continue working and informed my client that I had to stop working. Luckily I mostly work from home. By 2pm I had chills and body aches and a mild fever of 100.2 that was gone within a half hour after I took Advil. By 3pm I was in bed and stayed there until well into the next day. I thought it was the flu, but that was the same day we found out that someone near Seattle had gotten coronavirus in the community without any connection to a person overseas. On Saturday I went to the Bartell Greenwood care clinic and was given Tamiflu. I tried to get tested for coronavirus but was told I didn’t meet the criteria for testing at that time. At the suggestion of the nurse, I enrolled (online) in the Seattle Flu Study. Within 2 hours the FedEx guy was at my door. It was a Saturday so I didn’t mail the sample back until Monday. Late yesterday I received a call from a person at King County Public Health informing me that I tested positive for COVID-19. She was lovely and we talked for 30 minutes and she followed up again this morning.
I have personally notified everyone I can think of who I might’ve had contact with. I’ve been on the phone for hours since yesterday.
I am pretty sure I can pinpoint the day I became infected—Tuesday 2/25 I went to lunch with 7 people at a restaurant and by that Friday 4 of us had symptoms (fever, etc). There was no physical contact such as hand shaking or hugging, only sitting at a table together for an hour. Similarly I had a work meeting with 3 people on Thursday (the day before I showed symptoms) and 2 of them got mild fevers within days. Again, no physical contact, just sitting at a table together. This tells you how quickly it transmits. Some people develop only a mild fever and that’s it.
I am extremely grateful to everyone in my community who has offered nothing but support (from afar) and kind words. I should mention that we are fully stocked up on groceries and other supplies at this point, so we’re all set there. Thank you! One of Maia’s weekly chores is wiping down all doorknobs and handles in the house and I’d like to think maybe this contributed in some small way to containing the virus in our household! (Thanks, Maia!)
This has been devastating for everyone involved but I am most concerned for the people whose health is already compromised in some way, and it’s for them that we all need to stay home and contain this virus as quickly as possible. I hope you’ll also consider not attending any events and especially if you’ve had any fever or symptoms, please self-quarantine to keep others safe.
If you have any fever or other symptoms you can call this new King County coronavirus call center to report a suspected case or ask for more information: 206-477-3977.

When the expanded testing system is up and running, people in the Seattle area who think they might be infected with SARS-CoV-2, the scientific name for the new coronavirus, can fill out a questionnaire online. If their symptoms are consistent, they can request a test kit, which will be delivered to their home within two hours. The swabs will be collected and delivered to the UW lab.

可不可以快递员自己再带个袋子，套住感染者碰过的盒子。。
不过我觉得他们应该考虑过吧
好像不要钱，我朋友转发了一个通过SEATTLE FLU 测的微软的员工回复我找一下贴过来
好惨， 感觉快递员会传给超多人
是的，赞行动派👍

我也疑惑，如果是这样取样就好，那之前为什么会出现取样没取好的情况。。。
re 赞bill gates！
美国的人口密度你不觉得at home sampling更好吗
免费，你是不是特别失望？
手动点名你这个大五毛。别说我是轮子，我就是全家在美国已经没有亲人在中国了，所以我不希望美国不好，中国陆沉我不care。
上门取样，sample放门外面，邮递员都不用和病人接触。邮递员戴手套，把sample放易封袋就行了。倒是这个鼻子取样，要很严重了才能测到阳性吧。下呼吸道感染，咽喉病毒都少，更别说鼻子
真像这位说的这么容易传染，那肯定全球流行，防疫只是拖延一些时间而已。
再就是咽拭子不准也不好取，有没有人研究过，用大便样品会更准吗？
我想象特殊sample收集员开个巨大邮箱卡车，大家出来自己往里投，快递员自己坐驾驶室里就行了。door dash， Uber eat之类的送餐公司可以贡献tracking软件，卡车快到了就在自家门口等着。
快递员需要更加注意个人卫生或者特别防护。其实这次暴露出来的问题不也是个人卫生需要加强吗，不习惯性摸眼鼻嘴，勤洗手等等。另外那个微软感染者的信也提到了她网上报名flu study然后fedex送来检测盒，她自己取样再寄出去。这种操作已经不是新鲜事了，应该说要加强个人防护吧，然后特殊职业需要更注意
赞一下这个seattle flu的神速
这种方法可以避免阳性病人外出把病毒传染给别人，也可以让普通感冒病人避免去医院、诊所得到感染。

这个举措跟韩国车检似的了。 赞
God bless Bill Gates!
贝秃这个铁公鸡，世纪贱男！
这个不错，估计很快Gates也可以搞一个，在MSFT，检测为阴性的直接去上班，检测为阳性的接着回家隔离
