She has had the flu and she would want all to know that at least in her case she has never had anything like this. She is worried about dying and wanted me to review our will. We discussed who would raise our children. She is healthy with no underlying medical conditions. Listen to the medical experts and not the news or the politicians. When COVID-19 knocks on your door it will change how you view it.
I hope your spouse gets better quickly.

Is she on hypertensive medication? There seems to be some theories that anti hypertensive medications, specifically ACE inhibitors can cause severe lung inflammation and severe cases of COVID.
