I hope I'm not DU's first Coronavirus case. [View all]

My daughter, who was indirectly connected to the Biogen conference and had been told to work from home, is now told that she is considered a close contact of a colleague being tested because she might have it. So now she has to self-quarantine.

I'm very involved with her kids. I took one to dance last night, and one to the dentist today. I don't know yet if the whole family has to be quarantined; I'd think so.

She'll know in a few days if the colleague has it. I'm 75 and in good health if you don't count five joint replacements. My husband is healthy too. We'll hope for the best, and keep washing our hands.
