My mother and father are both quarantined at home with the virus.
Both are mid-60s. Dad is overweight, diabetic, and has stage 1 lung cancer (he was tested last Thursday on the day his cancer surgery was scheduled and came up positive, delaying his surgery for 2-3 weeks). Dad had a strong cold for a few days. Never had a fever, but did have body aches. Had a weak cough. Diagnosed 7 days ago, but on days 6 and 7 after diagnosis he already feels a lot better and is doing yard work now. Mom is slightly overweight and has had a smidge more severe symptoms with aches. She's had as light fever, but nothing over 100F, with a decent cough. She's still under the weather a bit, but her symptoms have largely been really mild.
They've both been told to stay home for 2 weeks. If their fever gets out of control or if their breathing became too difficult, they were told to go to the hospital. Otherwise, watch some shows and stay away from people. They were not prescribed any medicine at all, nor were they given any advice on taking supplements (vitamin C and D, for example). I was pretty alarmed and pissed about them not getting any kind of medicine for this. They are monitoring their blood O2 levels and that's about it.
