Hopefully it stays that way. My wife really only had a severe headache and congestion, but she's always been a very healthy girl.
We know how we got it as well. One of my wife's co-workers became infected and continued to go to work thinking she had a cold. She didn't stay home until several days later and was finally tested. These girls work in a bank and had gone back to drive through only and one client inside at a time, by appointment. They wear masks all day and clean/ sanitize between customers. With her working with the public I knew it was just a matter of time before we got it. I'm very happy that we got an early jump on it and they know how to treat it better than 6-8 months ago. We've been wearing masks since this thing started and I've been working from home and going out 1-2 times a week. COVID is running wild in Northern OH right now and unless you're sealed up in a bubble there are no guarantees.
Stay safe out there!

We're all over the virus and out of quarantine. We got through with what mostly felt like a really bad cold. Only thing I needed other than over the counter stuff was an Albuterol inhaler. That worked wonders for my cough.
When we tested positive we were contacted by our county health dept. and asked if we would participate in a daily online survey to track our symptoms and progress. I didn't think anything of it at the time so we agreed. About a week later, I got an odd letter from the H.Dept. that was mostly blah, blah blah about the virus that just about everyone knows at this point and at the end was a very hollow threat that if it became known that I was violating the quarantine order the local authorities will be contacted and I will be forcibly returned to my place of quarantine. I wasn't about to go anywhere but that ticked me off. I was going to write back and tell them to have Barney come and get me and we'll see how that turns out. Didn't bother and wasn't in the mood to argue over BS.
Fast forward to the day before my quarantine was to end and I get a text msg from the health dept. that they are extending my lockdown two additional days. I wrote a long and not very pleasant note back that basically asked "who are you, what are your credentials and by what legal authority do you have to arbitrarily extend this lockdown?". Didn't hear another word. Just another low level county bureaucrat trying to push people around as far as I can tell.
