    I know of 9 people who tested with at home tests and tested positive. One family called the doctor’s office and was told what to take, to stay home, etc. unless the condition worsened. I wonder how many of these are happening and will never be counted. Another friend is in the death count from a week in January. So sad that we are losing so many to this virus.
