my wife is quarantined in our guest bedroom and using the bathroom on that floor all to herself, so she's not touching or sharing anything with me and the boys. when I drop off her meals, drinks, snacks, etc... she masks up and I promptly wash my hands like a motherfucker right away afterwards. the system seems to be working, but I can't imagine how people in an apartment would pull this shit off.Working from home this week, and maybe next. My boss called Saturday and said because my wife is frontlines, they'd prefer I stay home. Makes sense, my wife and all staff at her hospital were told that they should assume they've been exposed. So, I guess I am to assume that too.
How are other SOs of medical workers dealing with this? Are you staying away from your loved one? Seems nearly impossible to constantly disinfect everything we both touch, and we're still occupying the same rooms, etc.
Honestly, i find this quite a bit of an oversimplification, because masks is only one of the things those countries did differently like early trsting and isolation etc. I would mark the red circle "learned from SARS and MERS" and had emergency plans ready, while the western counties mainly ignored experience with these epidemics because we thought it was an asian problem. Hell, we all still acted like tgat when it started in China in january, most still in february and some countries still to mid-march. There is a good bit of western arrogance towards asia that deepened this crisis.

Holy shit! I can’t even imagine!my wife is quarantined in our guest bedroom and using the bathroom on that floor all to herself, so she's not touching or sharing anything with me and the boys. when I drop off her meals, drinks, snacks, etc... she masks up and I promptly wash my hands like a motherfucker right away afterwards. the system seems to be working, but I can't imagine how people in an apartment would pull this shit off.

like @Lee Newman said we knew it was going to get her/us since as a staff nurse she is in direct contact with employees at her hospital who have tested positive for Corona, it was a question of "when", not "if". so we sat down and came up with a few plans on how to handle it from her quarantining at my parents house while they are in FL, to her quarantining in our house and how to pull that off. that planning definitely paid off. don't freak out about it, just try to come up with a solid plan(s) in the event it happens.Welp, we're falling woefully short of those measures. Next level of worry now engaged.
There also seems to be some interest in investigating medications for autoimmune disorders that suppress the processes that generate the cytokine storm. If I understand correctly, those wouldn't treat COVID per se, but could maybe keep the immune system in check while the body fights it off.Luckily, additional proper clinical trials are under way. There are also trials with promising safer drugs like colchicine. Fingers crossed something works.
