My cousin has passed on, but thankfully he was negative for Coronavirus. On the positive side, my mother can now quarantine with us and get her mind off of things with my son.

I'm sorry for your family's loss Mac

I'm so sorry, mac.

Really sorry to hear that, mac.

So sorry Mac.

Thanks guys. Didn't really post for sympathy but appreciate it. The fact that it wasn't COVID is a relief. I'd have worried about my uncle (multiple heart issues) and and aunt, not to mention mother.

Fun fact, my uncle is one of the AHN "Paul's heart sounded like this" commercials

Washington — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is about to change its guidelines for self-isolation to make it easier for those who have been exposed to someone with the new coronavirus to return to work if they are asymptomatic, Vice President Pence said Tuesday.

Insufficient and delayed testing may explain why some European countries, such as Italy and Spain, are experiencing much higher casualty numbers (relative to reported confirmed cases) than Germany, which has detected an estimated 15.6% of infections compared to only 3.5% in Italy or 1.7% in Spain. Detection rates are even lower in the United States (1.6%) and the United Kingdom (1.2%) – two countries that have received widespread criticism from public health experts for their delayed response to the pandemic

.

I hope we only detected 1.6% of the cases, because then that means this disease is a lower fatality rate than the flu, just ridiculously more infectious.

Sorry for your loss Mac.

Is there a problem with this? You have "diabetes" but Coronavirus killed you.

Seems legit?

Damn it mac that sucks. Tough time to deal with something like this, as if there is ever a good time.

Yeah. I hear ya. I don't even know what the arrangements will be. Obviously, he doesn't have a ton of friends. But my uncle does. I'd guess it'll be cremation and graveside burial. Perhaps a wake in a few weeks.

This is the guy who I mentioned previously, where he talked about the issue possibly being similar to altitude sickness. Seeing his name jogged my memory.
