My gf caught this, it’s pretty bad. After a week and a half of not getting any better, she finally had to go to the clinic and stay for a few days on IV meds and now she’s finally recovering. She had white spots on her lungs when they scanned them, it scared the crap out of me.

I forgot to mention, she had initially tried to get a doctor to come to her home and they told her they’re having a shortage of the needed IV drugs because so many people are having this sickness, and she’d need to come in to get it.
