My best friend's currently in the hospital. He started showing symptoms shortly before being told that someone else he works with had tested positive.

So that sucks. Fortunately he's extremely likely to make a full recovery with no problems because of his age/health/etc, but this is now the first case where someone I actually know in real life caught it, as opposed to just random strangers.

Not entirely surprising, considering how intense it is in central NJ (more than anywhere outside of NYC itself - and the NYC region as a whole accounts for like half the infections in the US at the moment).

Truly feel for you, and hope he makes a full recovery. To be in the hospital is interesting, though-I didn't think they were sending people to the hospital for it, unless you were at risk/had really bad symptoms.

Case in point, one of my best friends is 99% he got it, and is just now over it. He was tested last week, but he won't have the results until tomorrow at earliest, and he's already out of the woods. But he was told not to go to a hospital. I know someone else that feels fairly certain they have it, in another state, and they were also told not to go.
