DULUTH – Linda Shank s last Facebook post was on Nov. 10. I had two weeks of gastrointestinal trouble, nausea, diarrhea. I still have those symptoms and we are on day 12 of fever, chills, terrible body aches, fatigue, cough, she wrote. I just wanted to share our symptoms and tell you all to be extra careful right now. We must have let our guard down once and that is all it took to get the virus.
Her husband took over her account on Nov. 21 to give an update. She is not doing well. She is in very critical condition, Gene Shank wrote. Doctor says she has a 50-50 chance of survival. . I am so afraid of a phone call in the middle of the night saying she s not going to make it.
