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.

Tell her to go stay at her moms or something to that effect. Don't put up with that.

I can’t see the logic (if there is any) in restricting people from gathering in numbers greater than 10 or more (some states vary) but then allow 145 people to be placed shoulder to shoulder for 2 or more hours and breath recycled air in an airplane. Am I missing something?

Asymptomatic FA hands you something from the galley like a bottle of water. You don’t sterilize the bottle or your hands and you can get it’s that way.
Or literally billions of other ways. That’s the thing, people spreading it when they don’t even know they have it. I’d bet the infected is closer to a million or more. We only know those that have been tested
van driver grabbing your bags
Tsa touching your ID.
hotel tv remote.
Fellow pilot dialing FCU.
cockpit seat adjustments
seatbelt buckle or the belt itself
I’m wiping everything anyone else has touched best I can. Then when I get to the hotel my bag handles and everything in my pockets gets Clorox wipe along with the door handles light switches and surfaces I place my things on.
When I get home same procedure plus bag gets a Lysol spray. Shoes have never come inside anyway bc that’s just gross. Then I go wash my hands and face at a minimum before seeing anyone. Hard to tell my kids to not hug me when I come in the door.
If one has it pretty hard to not pass it to your immediate family with our close contact. I can try and prevent it hitchhiking in on my belongings. Also knowing we are at much higher risk of being carriers bc of my job we are actually doing our part and taking the distancing seriously. Getting calls for play dates and family hangouts but keep saying no because I don’t want to unknowingly give it to someone that either gets very ill or infects their family member that gets very or deathly ill. I could easily drink some beers with a neighbor in the front yard but the dang kids don’t know what 6 ft means.
