Is there any information on the risk for pregnant women and their baby? My wife has been exposed and I'm starting her on zinc, vit D, and other supplements mentioned by Dr Rev.

Haven't found much otherwise. TIA!

Edit - she's 5 months along

She's at somewhat higher risk of severe disease, but really the bigger concern would be for the fetus. Last I saw rates of preterm labor and low birth rates are increased a fair bit in pregnant COVID patients.

Agreed. Wife is 8 months along. She has continued working try and live life as normally as possible just like we recommended people adhere to at the beginning of COVID. If you are scared stay in

Really impossible for us to avoid this thing since we have 4 other kids all going to school in-person. Figure it's just a matter of time before we get it and I want to make sure we are prepared for biological warfare. Our kids' mental health is worth getting on with our lives.
