It’s making me quite troubled as I have bills and rent approaching, and overall just a pretty discouraging situation. What would you guys recommend I do in regards to financial support? Until things take a more positive turn with this virus ordeal? Any advice is appreciated because I am at a standstill as of right now.

Do you have any experience outside of being a nanny. You could look to work remotely right now. Flexworks charges a fee to find remote work, but you can also look at weworkremotely.com and skipthedrive.com. Be wary of scams or if they ask to interview via google chat. If you need help with interviewing and job opportunities, please let me know. I hope this is only temporary.

Yes! I have a lot of experience in the service industry (Bartending, and serving). I also was an assistant manager for my fathers million dollar furniture company for a few years (before he passed away from cancer). I am currently in college getting my degree in psychology, and was going to start taking flight attendant classes to become a flight attendant (kind of a dream of mine). So that is the extent to my work history, but I would love to hear the options your speaking of in regards to job opportunities, if you wouldn’t mind PMing me. Would mean a lot.

Bee---sending all good vibes, big prayers and positive thoughts your way! I think you're already getting to the other side of this nasty virus! You're on your way to recovery. Thanks so much for sharing your experience, it's a good citizen thing to do!
I have a colleague who had the same kind of nasty bronchitis/fever thing you're describing for a month or more and then just 3 days ago, her husband got a high fever and suddenly out of nowhere--began violent projectile vomiting for HOURS and was so wracked with the physical severity of it, he thought he was dying. I really think they must have this and have passed it between them. Ive told her this, she is sort of blowing it off. :( (I sent her your experience)
So far, I think I'm ok. I did have a bad headache, sore throat last month and then have kept a lingering weird mucus grunge thing (sorry, but this is the deal) more in my sinuses--sneezing, coughing up for a month--but haven't been in close proximity of them in the last month or so, so Im not sure what it might mean.
The good news is, I feel much better now--the grunge has almost entirely cleared up--no coughing--but I swear it's taken forever. I'm social distancing from friends and family now and working from home.

Feel better Bee this virus aint playin. I think you are over the worst of it. Take good care of yourself. Self care is most important. My cousin works in the ER here in LA he told me that they ran a test on a group of patients coming in complaining about Flu symptoms and most of them have come Bee I am one of the people who lost her job recently yeah it will be tons of fun looking for a job during a recession. File umemployment and in most states there are rules for temporary employees who lost wages due to corona.

My mom is a doctor and swears against taking the flu shot (for her own reasons) so I never took it due to that. Well I’m deffinitely regretting that now😂😂 Not that it’s makes a difference in my scenario but I more so empathize with the fact maybe we all should find protection in a flu shot, so we can at least prevent ourselves from one global sickness out here. So in saying that... not only do I feel you, but I feel for you. but I do wish us a full recovery and health!!! I pray we will be fine 🙏🏽

I agree with your Mom. Avoid the flu shot. The flu shot does not protect you against getting the flu. It only lessens the symptoms, but you will still get the flu. Been there, done that.

Please do not go around telling people to avoid a vaccination that saves countless lives and allows for our healthcare system to remain functioning during flu season. It is a well known fact that the flu vaccine is anywhere from 40 to 60% effective. Without it, you are correct, symptoms are worse and with it you wont get as sick. Thousands of people die every year from it. Most unvaccinated. Not only does it protect from severe illness, hospitalization, or dying from the disease, but it is also important for herd immunity to prevent illness in vulnerable populations. You may get it and be fine, but you could pass your infection to someone who has cancer, an autoimmune disease, or the old or you who are especially vulnerable. Truly, GET YOUR DAMN FLU SHOT PEOPLE. Why wouldn’t you want to protect yourself AND MORE IMPORTANTLY OTHERS from dying???? Absolutely mind boggling how ignorant you and this comment are.

^^^All of this. Thank you for being the voice of reason.. As an immunocompromised person I appreciate the herd immunity. I am usually able to get the flu shot, and yes, I can still get the flu despite it, but it won't put me in hospital with pneumonia or lay me up in bed for weeks like it would without vaccination.
