Her advice to others is to assume you have been exposed, and have a plan for if you do get sick to help minimize stress. That afternoon, a friend sent me a Facebook post advertising a drive-thru testing facility at a Community Health Center in a nearby town. Convinced that this might be my only opportunity to get a test, I chugged coffee, got in my car, and headed over there. The nose swab itself was unpleasant, but the overall experience was excellent. Smooth, efficient, not scary, and I was promised a phone call with test results in 3 to 5 days.I could feel that it was slightly more difficult to breathe.
To make breathing easier, she suggested I take hot showers, find a humidifier, apply Vicks VapoRub to my chest, and try to sleep in a propped-up sitting position. She told me to expect limited sleep. Various friends delivered a humidifier and Vicks. 2. Determine how you will get groceries or meals if you suddenly become stuck at home for two-plus weeks.If you don't have friends or family who can bring food to you, google a grocery delivery service and find out if they actually deliver to your neighborhood. Create a sample order to make sure.
