About to get real for me. My dad, who is just shy of being 77, has COVID. He started feeling poorly yesterday morning, but put off going to the Dr. until yesterday afternoon. My mom took him to the ER yesterday afternoon/early evening. They had a positive test last night ( I didn't know they could get the results so fast). He's been in poor health for years. He had open heart surgery in 2018 and never really fully recovered. He's been in and out of the hospital for the last 2-3 years.
He's been short of breath and borderline COPD for years before that as well. The last time I saw him he was telling me how fast he gets out of breath. So far the hospital gave him some antibiotics and sent him home AFAIK, I have not talked to my mom this morning to find out all the details.
