87. Something similiar?
Tue Mar 17, 2020, 06:00 PM
Mar 2020

My daughter traveled for a conference. 10 days. While there she experienced similiar symptoms. Mild enough that she wasnt sure what was happening. No thermometer so unsure of fever but felt hot. Fatigue. Headache.
She came back & is self quarantine-ing day 6 today. Now looking back wondering if that was it? We said if only there were tests. How will we ever know? The most basic information.
