This ridiculousness is in my face daily and people are hurting, dying, and very sick! 9 of my colleagues have contracted it protecting people like you. You'd be best to tread carefully.
What area of the country are you in? Are you seeing any benefits treating people with the medicines that Trump suggested?

I'm in Ft. Worth Texas at John Peter Smith hospital. The only Lvl 1 hospital in the city. And I can tell you no one has seen anything like this at our hospital in the last 30 years. It's worse than bad. We're exhausted, last pay period I pulled 102 hours. We're rationing out supplies. I have to keep my same mask for a week because we are extremely low. I've been exposed to 3 Covid patients and some how miraculously not gotten infected or worse yet my wife or 2 year old daughter. I wish I could say the same for some of my coworkers. This is not something you do for just any old virus like the flu.
Do you know what happens to a person after they've been cured of the Covid-19 virus, if you should happen to even catch it in time? Fibrosis of the lung tissue sets in, and you lose you're lung capacity. Let's hope it's not permanent. Sorry for the lecture, just super stressed and have to be back in ER tonight and hope we find a vaccine soon.
I've seen it first hand and witnessed more people die from it than I care to share. From the ages up 18 on up. Right now we have a mother who is intubated that we had to do a C-section for her pregnancy. I pray that she wakes up, or she may never know that she even gave birth.
