A friend of mine in Quezon City (Philippines) texted me today. Almost his family members and that includes were tested positive for Covid-19 after having a swab test in their local barangay unit. There are only two sisters who were not infected. Now, they are quarantined for 14 days in their house. I am so positive that they will surpass this challenge. Are you going to be in a panic if it happens to your family? Image Credit: images.theconversation.com

I hope they beat covid. I’m petrified if it hits my family. My brother and his wife had it months ago. Loss of smell and taste, but recovered in 2 days with no known side effects. So lucky!

I also heard the loss of smell and taste. As of today, they were informed to be transported to a healthcare facility tomorrow.

Maybe at first it's hard to accept the fact but I just hope that no one will very ill and hospitalized. Being in isolation without having much of the symptoms can survive for sure after 14 days.

Instantly yes we might panic. But after an hour or so we would start analyzing what was going on, in the sense of who was having what kind of symptoms, and accordingly work on that. Who would require more support or help and who requires less support. How much the virus has affected which person at what level. this way we will figure out what to do.

Indeed. We need not panic and think what's the best solution to deal with it. Currently, the family was moved to healthcare facilities today.

Statistically speaking the chances are they will recover from it for as long as they do not show symptoms that can endanger their life. Symptoms to watch out for are difficulty breathing. Fever, cough, and colds can be managed by medicines. When you have reached the point where you have difficulty of breathing then you should seek medical assistance already.

That's very sad . It's more horrifying when the whole family members get infected. And the things get worse when the oxygen level starts getting down. Hope his family gets better soon.

I hope they will recover from the virus. No, when some in my family tested positive for Covid I didn't panic, but I did stay away from them. I offered to go get groceries for them and help with errands but was told they already had others who would do that for them. Thankfully, they recovered from the virus and are fine now.

According to my friend, they will be catered in healthcare facilities. It depends on the medical checkup if they will stay in the same place.

@DaddyEvil I think they are fine with the symptoms and all. It was the protocol to bring them into these facilities.

@Shavkat Here, if someone goes to a medical facility, the reason is that they are very sick with the virus... I hope they will be okay.

@Shavkat I'm so sorry. It's one thing to hear about this virus affecting people around the world and actually knowing someone personally having it. It's more personal. I'm so sorry. I am wishing the very best for them. I would be in a panic for sure if a family member of mine had it. I hope all will be alright.

I felt sorry and worried for them. I cannot imagine if it will happen to my family. Last night, I watched a short video clip that 23 members of a family were infected at the same time.

This shows that the spread of COVID is not under control in the Philippines. When all people take this virus serious, the end results will be positive.

I do agree with you. My friend and his family did all the necessary health protocols. He even wondered how did they infect. I cannot also validate it because this is what he claimed. Moreover, I think the situation here is far better than in India right now. We do hope that it will be controlled.

@Shavkat In India, the majority of people refused to follow the guidelines. Thus, many are dying.

I don't know. The disease going on right now is very deadly. It's little scary as we see many people losing their lives too. Have a good day. Take care

I would be extremely worried to know that someone in my family would be positive. I am sure they will recover.
