So I was out of town for the 4th and got a text that my uncle tested positive before a routine colonoscopy. He had no symptoms. Both my uncle and aunt stayed quarantined for 12 days when she started developing a cough and lethargy with no fever. They did a pulse oxygen test at home and it came back at 86. They took her to the ER and she tested positive.
She's been there for a few days but is doing well. She's on oxygen and some medicine to prevent blood clots. Chest xrays and blood work are good. She's hoping to be released Monday.
They are both in their mid 60's, obese with medical history. Both have been very cautious with masks when they do go out in public and not going out but they have had family at their place. We would have been there for the 4th if we weren't on vacation.
