My in-laws, some of the nicest people you would ever meet and who are both in their 80's began getting really sick about 9 days ago.  We kept our distance, but watched them steadily get more and more weak.  Very early on, their doctor prescribed a z-pack (azithromycin).  While that didn't help their condition, it may have saved them from the respiratory havoc that makes this virus so deadly.  They took a ride in the ambulance together on Saturday, were given the test, took x-rays, and put on an IV briefly.  Not having any breathing issues so they were immediately sent home.  Their tests results both came back positive a couple days ago.  Not eating or drinking much and sleeping all day, extremely fatigued and barely able to care for themselves.  We are checking in with them at a distance as best we can.  Totally helpless feeling and very very worried.

Hope your in-laws pull through, I think that it's a good sign that they did not develop the respiratory effects.

I hope they make it out alright.  Any idea where they got it?

Thanks everyone.  Heading over there to cut their grass in about an hour, and to get a visual on them.

No idea where they got it, but when the grocery stores first started getting a run on every thing, they were out shopping like crazy.  Going to Sams Club, Costco, out to dinner, church, you name it, they were out doing it.  They didn't take it at all serious.  In fact I got a lecture about how they lived through the depression, WWII, they thought this was all overblown.

Sounds like they are on the mend.

man it's everywhere.....Jim Edmonds got it and that dude is in very good shape as he worked out at my gym even has all his meals prepared by this organic chef company. Traveling and touching things and then touching your face is how most of you will get it. We have friends on a ventilator down at SLU who was the head of ICU there, also my wife has two nurse friends who have it pretty bad and another doc she used to work with at BJC has a very bad case and he is 44. Wash your hand constantly and don't touch your face. be safe no joke at all...….my fear is people in rural areas think this isn't out there and let their guard down with the hygiene and wham is on you quick and then yer spreading...….it's out in the rural areas......don't kid yourself
