I'm Quarantined

I work in the healthcare industry so of course, I knew I was bound to suffer from exposure. At first, like most, I doubted that I would ever be exposed or contract it, however, I was clearly wrong. At the moment my exposure is only that, exposure, but I do have several of the symptoms and have tested negative for all known viral infections thus far. I'm currently waiting for more information about my prognosis and if I've been infected, but until then I'm currently placed on 72hr quarantine to give time for the test results to come back. Given that I feel like I've been hit by a freight train and currently struggle to take big enough breaths, I'm currently a bit concerned.

Thankfully, my job does offer an LOA for us that we are free to take. It sucks because it's currently unpaid, HR is currently trying to determine the best course regarding pay since it is a national emergency at this point, and I can't currently afford it but at least most of the utility companies are being lovely about now cutting us off for being behind.

So, anyone else being quarantined or on a self-quarantine at the moment?
