In lieu of a live stream this week, I will be interviewing Angela remotely about her experience. The interview is scheduled for 3:00 Wednesday and I'm sure will be published within a day afterward.
I'd like to open it up for questions or messages for me to ask/pass onto Angela
Please ask how she thinks she contracted the illness. Did she have a known contact or was it an unknown source?
If an unknown source was there something she believes she could have done differently to avoid it?
I feel a lot of people who think this isn't serious because they expect to survive it don't realize how much they will go through
Q: Did you have a sense prior to contracting it that this would never impact you because of your age ?
Q: Were there any issues or delays in obtaining a Covid-19 test ?
Also did she do anything in particular at home that seemed to help alleviate symptoms?
Did you take a test that came up negative? How long did it take to become negative?
Keep feeling better Angela!
What is her advice for people, either task-based or philosophical?
Quote: DRichI don't know her living situation but I was wondering if anyone else in her household got sick?
Her husband got it first. I think he was probably among the first cases in the US, but we'll let Angela elaborate on that.
Im looking forward to giving you and both of my Vegas honeys a big hug when I come to town for G2E if it doesnt get cancelled.
For those that dont recognize them, thats me with my honeys, Angela and Heather. Theres a long back story why Angela is holding a desert plate.

Hugging is so 2019. Hopefully, if G2E is held, they will put footprints on the floor so your photos will practice safe social distancing
Which of the many table games you have demoed at conventions over the years did you have the most fun dealing?

One question might be how much weight did she lose in her time in the hospital.....not that she needed to lose any.
The doctor above lost a lot in his three weeks . What food did she want to eat once she did get home?

Angela has immunity, so she can safely hug anybody now.
Quote: WizardWe just tried to do the remote interview, but technical difficulties forced us to cancel it. I plan to interview her in person on Monday. Hopefully it will be safe for both of us.
I'm sure she will have no problem staying 6 feet from you. On the other hand, you might not be able to maintain a safe distance....
If you see anything that was meant to be clipped out, please let me know. This would be a time to make changes before I "publish" it.

Angela knocked this interview out of the park! I hope she starts posting here or at DT because, if she can speak that well off-the-cuff, there's no doubt that she could write tremendously well also.
So, we're five minutes in and I'm already impressed with how articulate she is, then:
1.) It turns out she was just warming up.
2.) She's a, "Raging Libertarian!" (Please excuse the political mention and I'll stop there or otherwise take it to DT)
3.) She sings for an 80's band whose name is a Back to the Future reference!
Looking forward to the next interview with Angela, whatever the subject matter ends up being. I would also like to thank her for representing Libertarianism so well with how measured and well-spoken she is.
Again, glad Angela and her husband are OK now.
One thing I noticed: the audio in the right speaker is just static.
Quote: Mission1463.) She sings for an 80's band whose name is a Back to the Future reference!
I should have picked up on that reference. Pass the dunce cap.
Speaking of references to Back to the Future, the vest worn by the character of Fabian in the time-travel movie Look Whose Back is a reference to Marty in Back to the Future.
Im so touched that when you mentioned my name, Angela just lit up, and her smile got even bigger and she said Hi Dave. 😁
Now, more than ever, I want to get my ass on a plane to Vegas so I can give yall big hugs. 😊

Well, I guess it's settled then.Quote: WizardI'm still alive, so far.

I do find it a bit strange that her husband had it early on(in January?) and she is certain she didn't get it from him, especially since nobody really knew anything about it at that time. I know she said they're cautious when one of them is sick anyways, and they were extra cautious when he was obviously sick, since they were thinking it was the flu or something, however, from my understanding it's highly contagious, even before you show any symptoms. So how did she avoid getting it then?
If someone had this back in January, I have to assume they thought it was the flu at first. I'm not sure how long the flu can last, but I assume you're usually only sick for 3 or 4 days, maybe five at the most? After 6 days of being sick one must be thinking there's something seriously wrong. If you got sick back in January you wouldn't assume you had the Corona-virus, there was a good chance you wouldn't even know what that was.

Going into the interview, I assumed she got it from her husband Steve. However, I take her at the word it is just a coincidence they both got it independently.
In other news, here is a short video shot while I was there.
