We have symptoms in our household consistent with the virus but mild. It's not me, I feel fine. I walked to our local grocery store Wednesday night (I think). I also had to pick up some rx for prednisone. I wore a mask and washed my hands as soon as I got home. Today i had to go to work to get a new headset for working form home. They left it outside for me to pick up. I stopped by Aldi for a last bit of groceries and we should be good for another couple of weeks. While I was there I left a gf card of $20 for folks that might be a few dollars short with the cashier. On my way out, I also found someone's debit card on the ground in the parking lot. Normally I would have dropped it off at the bank it was issued but I know that wouldn't be helpful if the owner needed access to cash right now. She'd get a replacement in 7-10 business days. I left it with the manager and hope she'll return for it.
We have no loans, no mortgage and I'm still working and getting paid. I know how darn lucky we are. I hope we all get through this ok. This reinforces why I've done my life this way. I hope that this experience doesn't push me to be more extreme about it.

Stay home: Most people with COVID-19 have mild illness and are able to recover at home without medical care. Do not leave your home, except to get medical care. Do not visit public areas.

The person, referred to as an "index patient" by the CDC, had mild symptoms when the person shared a take-out meal with several others in Chicago. The CDC report said two of those people ended up getting COVID-19 and one died weeks later.
The same person then later went to a birthday party and hugged several family members and shared food. At least three family members then got COVID-19 and two died.
One of the people considered a "probable" COVID-19 patient went to church, where they passed the offering plate, possibly spreading the virus to many more people.
The patients in the report ranged in age from five to 86. The three people who died were each over 60 and had at least one underlying medical condition.
