I was in the hospital this weekend for an infection (kidney transplant). I tested negative for #Covid19, but when I saw the infectious disease doc, I asked a lot of questions. He works on the #COVID floor, and he wanted to emphasize that people are not getting it. He said . . .
âItâs not just immunocompromised people like you. It makes absolutely no difference. Healthy people, sick people, young, oldâwe are seeing every kind of person. Blood clots in the chest cavity, the limbs, multiple amputations.â I asked if people who were sick had a good idea of
how they got it, and he said, âNot at all. There is no way to track it and control it because people are not isolating themselves properly.â He said people should be saying inside their homes and never getting closer than six feet to another personâbut ONLY with both people
wearing masks. He said if you canât do the activity with the other person being at least six feet away, donât do it. He said there was no such thing as being âoverly cautious.â When I said that the pandemic has been really hard for single people who live alone, he said,
âYeah, but multiple blood clots in your chest cavity is hard.â The scariest part was him talking about how impossible it is for them to track and contain the disease because people are not eliminating their options for ways to get infected. We have got to GET IT TOGETHER.
