On March 8, my husband, who is a photographer for the southerncommand, was assigned for the visit of the President of Brazil to the facilities. On Tuesday 10 he had cold symptoms at night so he reported ill at work, speaking directly with The Deputy Garrison Manager since in his
work group there is no superior at the moment who is in charge of his
department. On Thursday the 12th he attended work, at noon he found out through the news that the chief of communication of Brazil was positive for coronavirus. At the end of the day he found out by chance
department. On Thursday the 12th he attended work, at noon he found out through the news that the chief of communication of Brazil was positive for coronavirus. At the end of the day he found out by chance
that there was a staff meeting with people involved in the March 8 event, in which no one communicate to him to attend the meeting to inform what had happened in a formal matter. My husband responsibly returned home and voluntarily isolated himself until he knew what would happen
with the fear now that our family was exposed to the virus or if we have exposed other people without knowing it. On Friday the 13th and Saturday the 14th, they only monitored by telephone despite the fact that he had recurrent symptoms, and despite this, they only considered
that he was not the high risk. My husband covered the event as a photographer for the southern command and there are video images where the head of communication from Brazil is in the same room and the delegation from which they have found other positive cases are close to him.
In one if the phone calls my husband was told, that he could only be screened at the Southcom Clinic. With his insistence they tested him on Sunday 15 and they inform that results would take until Wednesday 18(72 hours) How can this be possible, if in a US Coast Guard ambulatory
center of can have results after 8 hours. We have kept ourselves isolated as a social responsibility. My income has been affected because I decided not to work to prevent any situation. On Tuesday the 17th my husband received two phone calls, one from the Deputy Garrison Manager
where he asks why he has not called, and if he will return. When it should be as an important part of the structure of the office who should be aware that they should not return until the 22nd at least for prevention protocols. And the other call was from the Representative of
the surgeon office of the Southern Command at 4:58 pm and as we missed the call the message only says to call tomorrow Wednesday. The way in which they are handling the cases is not professional from the point of view of the institution with its lack of internal communication
as well as the lack of follow-up of the protocols that must be adopted in health in the case of the coronavirus. They have not shown to have structure at all. While it is heard that there are people who could be carriers and affect others who have existing medical conditions so
we must be prevented, we have had to take the reins ourselves since I am a 46 year old person with four cardiac bypasses since 2003 and that makes me more vulnerable. Having authorities who do not know how to act in these situations, put everyone at risk.
Today is Wednesday 18, 11:15 am, and still no response from results. @cnnbrk @cnnespan @UniNoticias @Telemundo @Southcom #miami #coronavirus #BrowardCounty #urgent
