Anyone have experience with someone they live with having COVID? My roommate just tested positive. Obviously he’s quatenteed to his room and I’m barely gonna leave mine, really only just to make food. But still very nervous I guess

Dude it’s hopeless. It’s impossible to quarantine in the same apartment as other infected people. You probably already have it.

KPMG1 No one said hes going to die??? Covid is an airborne virus and just because he does not have symptoms yet does not mean he doesnt have it. For all we know he could have been the original carrier and asymptotic. First thing they should is get tested to see if any of their efforts are already in vain. If they dont have it yet then they consider taking serious steps but unless they sleep with a mask on they will likely be infected eventually as the virus will reach a certain level of saturation in the air especially with central AC. If they have one of those window units then theres a chance that the air isnt circulating in the whole house and they can contain the virus to one room but OP will have to post to clarify that. Im not trying to fear monger. I just think they should get tested before wasting their time stressing out over something that has either a) already happened or b) inevitably going to

Wear mask indoors. Sorry you have to deal with this

just be sure to disinfect surfaces and that both of you agree to be careful ... if it worries you too much then maybe you can stay somewhere else for 14 days and then just come back and be normal

14 days is the incubation period. The roommate may or may not still be infectious after 14 days, depending on how their body fights the virus.

Did you also get tested? There’s a chance you might already have it if you have been interacting with each other. Wear masks at home, keep windows open if you can, clean frequently. A lot of hotels are super cheap now so maybe you could also just go somewhere else.

If you have central AC theres nothing youll be able to do to prevent it. I would recommend accepting that youll catch it or even already have it. Go get tested and try not to spread it outside your apartment

Get tested immediately. If you have it, then no need to isolate from each other. If you don’t have it rent a car and drive home - to your parents or stay with other family/friend. Get out of there now.

I would not drive to my parents, even if I tested negative, knowing I was that close to someone who is positive. Maybe after 14 days of isolation and still negative

Ok. I am teaching music in person and when we have a case of COVID in the school, I push into the classroom for 10 days. Are there music websites that are free that I can go to for quick lessons when I’m asked to teach in the classroom. I was told today with 5 minutes to prepare that we had a case, I couldn’t teach in my room and I couldn’t do the ukulele unit I had planned. I had to think on the fly and quickly came up with a BrainPop for them. I’d like to find a few more music sites.

This job feels like it’s killing me slowly. Physically, spiritually, emotionally. Working to stay positive and opportunistic. Anyone willing to share solutions? I want to be productive and positive.
