A couple of weeks ago, I talked about having a Covid Response Team.
They are a team of nurses that check in with you when you have Covid-19.
Yep; they came up with a ''survival" kit for Covid-19.
It was delivered by FedEx a day after being diagnosed.
The box was huge.
It had flash cards with everything from how to wash your hands to how to disinfect.
Did you know that if you have Covid-19, they recommend that you wipe down surfaces that you come into contact with but that you don't deep clean until AFTER all of your symptoms have gone away.
It also contained the following: 150 masks, 1 bottle of disinfectant, 6 small bottles of body wash, 2 bottles of hand sanitizer, another thermometer, alcohol swaps, 50 hot/cold cups with lids, 50 biodegradable paper plates, 50 spoons, knives and forks and 6 blue trash bags.
Yep blue trash bags. The kind they use in the hospital. The kind that has tape attached that says "biohazardous material"
Did you know that you aren't supposed to use regular dishes while having Covid-19?
I didn't.
It's because even though you are washing your dishes, you still have to touch them once they are clean. You are contaminating them again before using them.
You must put your trash in the blue bags because everything you touch will still be infected with the Covid virus after you use them.
Now that they are saying you have to double mask, I have enough masks to last at least two months. That is if I go outside every day; which I don't.
My Covid Response Team, or someone from my team, calls every day.
Without fail.
My phone rings at 9am every day and I am on the phone with them for at least 30 minutes. I have had a nurse come by to check since I'm an "over achiever" and have so many symptoms.
It's good to know that someone is looking out for the ones of us that are not hospitalized.
I just wonder; if you don't have insurance; do you still get this level of care?
