I am scared. Both my wife and I feel fine tonight. Regular body temps each. No symptoms otherwise.
I live in a hot spot. Eagle County, CO. I am very spooked and entirely-mentally-exhausted living the -7 days (incubation) without knowledge of my health going forward. The doctor my wife works with (a specialist doctor office) is across the hall from the largest primary care provider in the area. Last week they had several full-gown-gear EMT extractions from that primary care office of affected patients to better facilities. My wife's office has been upholding all the CDPHE regs as they come out for directives and they have limited their patients to emergent-only cases and/or pre/post op visits. This is good.
That's not enough for me.
At home, we've been going insane with the clean hands, clean faucet, clean door knobs, clean light switches, edges of doors, key fobs, everything brought from the grocery, grocery bags, car door handles, steering wheel, gear shift, everything we touch, etc. It is difficult to keep up but we must. I WANT AND NEED FOR MY MIND to know that I am safe in my house and not have the need for both of us to wonder if today is actually day-1-exposure for either of us. Especially given that she has been going to work each day last week and today whereas I work from home remotely.
In the past 10 days, I've gone out as little as needed due to this bug and been very regimented in my hand cleaning and awareness of handling/touching things then cleaning whatever afterwards.
I'm pressing my wife to remain home with me for the full 14+ day recommended duration starting tomorrow. I must break this cycle of not knowing if either of us might be sick and not know it. Its the responsible thing to do. We need our day 1. We will know more about us by day 5. Even more by day 10 and by day 14 we can then deal with the real work going forward.
My plan is to self isolate both she and I for the next 14 days. I don't know how her doctor is going to take the news, but I must.
We will go for walks with the dog, hang at home and do catch up things here and venture out as needed for necessities and when we arrive at our destination, we'll don N95 masks, protective latex gloves, minimizing time in any given store and keeping the 6' rule in check.
Please everyone. Don't fuck around.
This was yesterday and a whole lot has changed since then:
