Speaking of not getting tested, my daughter continues to improve. I’d bet thousands that she has Covid-19, but for now we won’t know, as she didn’t qualify for testing either.

Sorry to hear about your daughter. The lack of testing is sad. In the aftermath, hopefully both her and I can get tested to confirm we've already had it.
There has been no blood or chest pain today, just a fever. My (lay) advice to everyone is to do everything they can to avoid exposure. If exposed, no one should assume they will be able to access testing or healthcare.
