Wife of Man on COVID-19 Task Force Diagnosed With Coronavirus, Despite Precautions

Loren Pennington said she did everything she was supposed to do: she had her groceries delivered, rarely left the house, and made sure her family was isolated. She has no idea how she contracted COVID-19. It was a real awakening for her husband, an emergency room physician.

"I felt terrible for him because he’s on the other side of the door listening to me struggle for air. It was awful," Loren said.

Pennington, 31, said the virus came on strong and on the other side of her off-limits bedroom door was her husband, Dr. Troy Pennington, who is a member of San Bernardino’s COVID-19 response team.

"It was really frightening. My wife now a statistic on the dashboard I fill out," he said.

if they could genetically modify the virus to produce glitter it would be easy to track....
no matter how hard my wife and I try, after visiting a store,
and taking every precaution we can think of
we still realize that we unintentionally did something wrong.
again,
whether it is contaminating something that we just sanitized,
or touching the door handle, steering wheel,key, etc.
there is always something we miss.
