July 2020 Monthly Discussion Thread

Hey everyone, I hope you are all doing okay and continuing to stay safe from Covid heading into July! I thought it would be helpful to those of us quarantined away to have a discussion thread where we can talk about anything we want too. How we are feeling, how we are progressing towards our goals, and how we are feeling about Covid.

Personally, I am going to ask my Doctor for a very specific antibody test at my visit today as I am still a bit scared. I keep hearing that not everyone whose had it will develop antibodies or no one knows how long the antibodies will last if you do develop them. So even though I’ve gone through it, I don’t feel like I’m out of the woods yet. And living with another high risk individual like my mother who is disabled with a severe heart condition has me extra cautious. I’m essentially acting as if I never had it and have no protection from it.

Hi William! All we can do is wash our hands, wear a mask and stay home, as much as possible.

Definitely Anomar! Even after having Covid I’m still trying to be as careful as possible as I can’t find a clear answer to how long antibodies will last and if any antibody will cover you from all of the apparently different strains or mutations going around (I don’t know the proper term). My mother is considered high risk as well due to her heart condition and didn’t get sick when my father and I did though, so I would be taking precautions regardless. I hope you and your family stay safe!
