MrsWD had the “when do you go” conundrum about a week ago. We gave our friends a Valentines Day gift Feb 13 - stayed at their house and babysat 4 kids 8,6,4, & 2 while they took the night off. We spent 14 hours in close contact with these 4 little disease incubators and, having no immunity, kind of expected to catch something. I got off easy with 24 hrs of GI distress. MrsWD got a very bad cold that lasted the full 10 days, but she had a cough that would not go away. We monitored her temperature and it stayed normal, but the cough persisted and with all the COVID-19 talk were getting concerned. She didn’t want to sit in a waiting room full of sick people so she waited another day. Fortunately it was the right call, but it could have gone either way.

Doctors offices need something like an airport cell phone lot where you can stay in your car until they call and say are ready for you. I don’t like sitting in a room full of sick people waiting to be called to see the doc.
