I’m someone that’s been classified as potentially having it. They ran 4 tests with that awful up the nose one being the true test. In my state it takes like 4-5 days to hear back. The other tests are a chest X-ray, of which you’ll see your lungs full of stuff which I have. Also you’ll get bloodwork done where they look at liver enzymes and white blood cells. I guess the virus effects those two things. After I got quarantined in the hospital I called my CP and he notified the last few people I flew with. I think that’s all they can do.

More precise questions:

Why is ALPA not demanding that it's members follow CDC and Covid19 Task Force guidelines for the health and safety concerns?

If it's imperative health care workers have masks, why are Flight Attendants sent out to face the public unarmed?

Why are airline managements not being pressured by politicians to follow CDC and Covid19 Task Force measures while getting in line for taxpayer bailouts?

Sounds like you’re just the money bags to her... Sorry bro. Bet a Benjamin she has a side piece.

On another note, kids are don’t seem to get sick and not a single one has died below the age of 14 around the entire world from this. It’s impossible to shelter them 100% from it as it will be circulating for the next few years.

If that doesn’t work you may need to take a unpaid leave of absence and put the house on the market.

Sorry you have to deal with this on top of everything else.

I’d imagine it’s just that.. a rumor. If it really happened it’d be plastered all over the media.

Thanks everyone. It honestly just started off as just some sniffles. I thought it was allergies. I took some Zyrtec and it seemed to be okay. I then started to get the chills and some muscle aches with a low fever. It got worse and worse until it was kind of unbearable. It was like pins and needles types of chills for me. It hurt. After 8 days of feeling like death and having doctors say to just stay isolated I then developed a cough. It got hard to breathe fully and on day 11 of feeling terrible I drove myself to the ER. Got admitted to the hospital that day and been stuck here ever since. The cough happened fast. It was like 30 hours. No one I’ve knowingly come in contact with has the virus, nor are the last few I’ve flown with showing any signs of being sick. Must have been in passing somewhere. Stay safe out there y’all.
