Prayers for you guys. Hopefully the symptoms will stay relatively mild and you will be OK.
I am currently in isolation due to a friend (maybe former friend
) who I regularly eat lunch with not telling me he had some mild symptoms and had gotten tested the day before we had lunch together. He’s now tested positive on two tests.
Now I have to wait until I can get a PCR test after 5 days and hopefully get a negative result back.

Oh my! Just seeing this. Sending prayers that you have a speedy recover. Any updates to this? I see that it's been a few days since he's responsed.
I to am also "at risk" with previously having a heart attack a little over 4 years ago, bypass surgery shortly afterwards, and a stent last September. I'm terrified of COVID at this point and have had friends and family get it and had weeks of recovery. I'm thankful that my job allows me to work from home but my girlfriend works in a school so I'm not completely safe.

Glad to hear Carlson, I have been concerned, since I wasn't able to get updates. Continued prayers.

Glad to hear you are better and Mary is doing well. Prayers do work!
I did have Covid prior to Christmas. Luckily my symptoms were pretty minor. Got out of quarantine Christmas Day and went to th in-laws house. My sister-in-law was avoiding me like I had the plague, but I told her I was clear. The next morning (Saturday) she woke up with a slight fever and feeling bad. She went and got tested and was positive. She and her family all got exposed at her husbands family Christmas on Tuesday before Christmas. Apparently someone there was asymptomatic. So, with their party and then our Christmas gathering, we ended up having about 20 total people come down positive with symptoms
. Luckily, everyone has had minor issues, and no respiratory problems. Worst problems have been with my wife’s parents, who are mid-to-late 80’s. They have been fatigued and had stomach distress, so won’t eat like they should. Have to make sure they get nutrition and stay hydrated.
Anyway, that’s how easy it is to spread to a bunch of people quickly, even if you have no symptoms.

That story sounds like what happened to my family. Thankfully, I was not part of their grand family get together at Thanksgiving. All of the fifteen or so, including my 79 year old mother, who got exposed recovered just fine except my younger brother. He is 54. His lungs have been damaged by covid and is facing possible lung surgery to cauterize the areas that won't stop bleeding. His best case scenario is that he spends the rest of his life on an inhaler like an asthma patient. Covid is very random in whom it affects the worse.
