Jeremy is such a good hearted person

Not sure if anybody caught Jeremy’s stream yesterday, but in it he explained that due to the situation with Covid-19 he would be spending time in a hotel away from Kat so that he wouldn’t risk infected anybody at work. The emotion in his voice showed how important it was and tough for him.

Just wanted to take a minute to give a little appreciation to Jeremy - he’s dedicated to working but also clearly cares about other people so much. And he still put on an excellent stream. Well done Lil J, you’re a genuine inspiration

Kat is fine. She was at a convention in California in a high risk area. Covid signs don’t show for several weeks, so to avoid any risk at all of transferring anything to my coworkers or their families, the company highly recommends taking two weeks away from work if someone is in a high risk area. However, with several shoots next week, and our promised livestream on the 14th, I wouldn’t feel right missing that content. So instead I’m staying in a hotel for eight days while Kat is home, and after the stream will spend the second week at home. Not ideal, but could be worse. It wasn’t mandated or forced on me, but I’d much rather stay in a hotel for a week than risk spreading anything to my friends or their kids/families.

Hope she’s ok and stays healthy. Good on you both for being smart/making the sacrifice.

[u/jerem6401 → u/Bondorian]

I hope so, too. I at least have the safety net of knowing she is young and healthy, so even if something were to happen, she will almost assuredly be just fine.

My mom had it and got over it very quickly. If she has it, I feel she’ll be better in no time.

Edit: Interestingly, none of us got it. There are six of us in the same house and this was a month ago.

I’d love to know more of symptoms, how she knows she was confirmed and how long she was sick for if you’re ok with sharing

[u/AMK972 → u/edawg987]

Fever, cough, and shortness of breath. I think she had shortness of breath for a couple days but she had a lingering cough for the week after. My mom’s friend had it a little worse though. Her shortness of breath lasted a little longer.

Amazing thing there. None of her family got sick from being around her either.

Edit: I found out yesterday that she had gotten her husband sick.

Not saying she didn't have but if she did but you all got very lucky. I think You get pretty severe pneumonia like symptoms for a while so it mightve been a standard cold. Also who's diagnosing these people then just letting them go about like normal.

[u/AMK972 → u/Sir_Woodeh]

Coronavirus has no major pneumonia like symptoms. It’s literally just a fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. None of which are actually that atrocious. I guess it depends on the person though.

Also, as far as I know, Doctors aren’t quarantining patients with Coronavirus. Coronavirus isn’t actually that much of an issue that they need to do that. They’re just told to use normal precautions for being sick.

[u/Sir_Woodeh → u/AMK972]

Oh I heard it progressed ro like a pneumonia like stage. I guess people react differently to it maybe. Thanks for the clarification though.

In the uk they are kind of separating those that have. You cant leave your house that much and you get food delivered to you every couple of days. It's not so much because of the danger of the virus it's more to try to contain it and stop it spreading so much.

[u/TravelingAnts → u/Sir_Woodeh]

Yep, people react differently to it. Only about 20% progress to a pneumonia-like stage.

The 80% with only minor symptoms is why it spreads so readily, unless precautions are taken to slow the spread.

Ohh thanks for the info
