Update

Update

I am suddenly very sick with fever , freezing,  burning up, headache, nausea 

Truth in New Hampshire:
I spoke with 4 medical personnel today on phone.  

They have no testing, only for medical personnel and severe cases in the hospital.

And.  They have no treatment. They told me only to go to the hospital if I cannot breathe, for a ventilator.  

They ordered me to stay home in quarantine away from all people and even medical personnel.

With all my underlying medical issues over the years, I have not had fevers, or anything like this. !

I will write when I can, but if I am not posting or answering, this is why. 

Please be safe and take this seriously. 

Thank you all

John Hamilton Date: 4/22/2020 12:11:00 PM Hello Heidi I am saddened by this news, sorry but I haven't been on the soup much. I will pray for you, heed the suggestions of the medical professionals, it's frustrating to know you can't be seen in person or take a test. However your symptoms are indicative of covid-19, go to the hospital if you are having trouble breathing. I'm so sorry you have to go through this on top of everything you've been through, but I KNOW you are a fighter and will get through this test as well.

I am home now , still fighting this, the tiredness, now lack of voice and lack of air trying to talk. Medical call daily. I appreciate your kindness. I hope you are well!
