My Uncle and Aunt: Covid-19 Positive :-(

I had a piece of bad news before New Year's Eve. A cousin of mine dropped a bombshell. They are my late father's brother and his wife who got infected with this killer virus in LA, USA. No further news about them and I felt bad about it. He is my uncle who never said sour statements against us. To take a quick glimpse of what had happened early this year, my family and I ended our familial relationship with my old man's siblings. I do not want to reminisce the old-time stories since we had moved on. I just want to offer prayers to them and surpass this dreaded situation. Any people in your bloodline got infected with this Covid-19? Are you still in fear despite the availability of vaccines at present? Image Credit: img.medscapestatic.com

That's a pity! But in the US things seem to be a bit ouf of hand. No friends or relatives have had it, the whole city is now at 4 deaths I think (which is less than in usual years, 'cause people don't die of the flu this year) so I'm mainly worried about being quarantined because of student etc. The numbers in general aren't too good right now, but the infection trackers here are brilliant so I think they'll sort it out. First vaccines for the old and sick arriving at Monday.

@Shavkat It'll be the really sick and old first, and the health care workers that have the most exposed jobs.

I am glad that it was being controlled there now. Plus, you are also lucky that vaccines are coming there in no time. For us, we are still hopeful.

@Torunn I do agree with you that health care workers are prone to having this virus. Luckily, I am not working in the hospital when this happened. If it is, then I will be one of the frontliners in my country.

I am sorry for your uncle and his wife. No one in my bloodline has been infected. I have never been in fear, I do everything I can to stay protected and I do not visit people.

I'm sorry. I am still scared because vaccines wont roll over until May here in our country from what I read in the news and there are new variants.

That's what I am whining about lately. There is a big issue why some uniformed personnel had these vaccines in their system without the approval in our country.

I hope they get fully recovered the soonest possible. The only thing we can do is to hope and pray that everything turns out well. Yes, we cannot relax until this pandemic is over. I feel so worried every time a new case is discovered.

Thank goodness our families remain safe and unharmed by the virus. But my heart goes to those who were, especially those who are alone or far from friends and family. Any recent developments on your relatives' conditions?

God help your relatives, amen. Sorry to hear sad news. You know it's not so much as a fear but a fight against covid. In history, many countries went through epidemics too, to almost pandemics. Polio in America, plague in Europe etc.We will get through it. Don't ever give up, stay strong and pray. I pray nightly to be protected from covid.

I agree. Pandemic happens in the past. A pandemic happened in Spain and they haven't found any vaccines for it. We just hope that this virus will end soon.

LA, California has the strictest and longest lockdowns. But still, numbers increase by the day. I wish for your uncle and aunt's healing and recovery. Praise God, we have fought through to the end. Our therapeutic practices and hygiene, even before Chinese covid, have been working. We are so grateful to God. Bless Him!

I think my uncle's wife is a nurse. I assumed that she got the virus as being a frontliner. I also heard the cases are so high in this area. I hope they will be fine soon. Thank you for your concern.
