17. 2 week lag in results for mother in law

Jul 2020

My mother in law (late 70s) is in North Florida. She's been sick for weeks and went to the doctor 2 weeks ago. She got COVID testing 2 weeks ago. The result came back THIS AM, and she has it. She is feeling somewhat better. Meanwhile, my father in law has gotten really sick the couple days and is now on the way to the hospital due to the severity of his symptoms. We are waiting to hear....
We had expected this. It is a cesspool there, and they really were not taking enough precautions. No one in their area was, why should they?
It is terrifying.
And a 2 week testing lag.
The entire extended family was undoubtably exposed in that time. And they will have exposed others.
