[QUOTE="faster horses, post: 1700810, member: 17524"] My brother in law tested negative, he was exposed the same time as the rest of us. That was before he tested positive. The rapid test, now I have learned, is only 40% accurate, especially when it tests negative. In the meantime his wife went to work. Now she has to isolate for 14 days then be tested before going back to work. She doesn't trust the test. What concerns me is our other brother in law. It has affected his lungs. He walked upstairs and thought he was going to pass out. His oxygen meter reads in the high 80's. Our daughter has a friend who is a travelling nurse and she says if in 24 hours you can't get that reading to above 88 you need to get to ER. So he called the ER and they weren't one bit concerned, asked if he was short of breath when he moved around and he said yes and they said if it gets worse to come in.🤬 I should have asked who he talked to, someone who was merely answering the phone? He's very fit and this is nothing to mess around with especially with lung issues. He has taken her word for it and he's no better today. He had the infusion on Monday. Everyone else is getting better...slowly. I was never sick. [/QUOTE]
