I got a call from the nursing home last night. My mother is COVID positive. But so far no symptoms. I spoke with her on the phone and she said she feels fine. I guess that's part of the reason she has lived to such an old age. Amazing. Of course we do not know how long she has had it and things could go bad over the next few days. We will see.
A bit of backstory. Local nursing home with maybe 100 folks. Locked down about a month ago. I visited her the day before the lockout. We got an email about a week ago telling us that two residents had gotten sick with COVID-19 and were transferred to the local hospital. I figured oh great it's going to sweep through the nursing home. But what can I do?
The call last night was quite interesting. The nurse told me that after the first patients got sick they managed to test every other resident and employee. They got six positive hits and my mother was one of them. But all of the six positives have zero symptoms so far.
So what's next? No idea. I will update this thread as I get more information.
