My Grandmother tested positive for Covid-19. She does not have the common symptoms everyone is looking out for though... It started on March 18th with her throwing up, she had no sense of appetite, and was very weak. These symptoms just sounded like she had the flu. This went on for a few days and we asked if she wanted or felt the need to go to the hospital, but she said no. The next day she was very dehydrated & we had asked her if we should call a nurse to come & give her fluids. She said no, but it was to the point we thought it was appropriate to call one anyways. Once the nurse came by she gave my grandma her fix & she began to feel better. However, hours later she was already back to feeling horrible. On March 23rd we took her to the emergency room and nurse came up to us and asked her “do you have a fever? Are you coughing? Are you having troubles breathing?” And she answered all with “No” They took her in and gave her fluids, nausea meds, ran some tests and they noticed the marks on her lungs from having previous years of Pneumonia. Those old marks are the only reason they tested her for Covid-19. We got the results 10 days later that she tested positive.
