On March 27, Kausche shared her husband, Fabian, tested positive for coronavirus about two weeks earlier, and had been fighting the virus with ups and downs.

"He is still running a fever but is otherwise fine," she wrote on March 27. "I myself exhibited symptoms for the past week with dry cough and fever but am doing much better now. We have been in quarantine for nearly two weeks now, and I am really looking forward to the day when I can do simple things again like going grocery shopping."

While their lives have been restricted, Kausche said she continues to follow daily coronavirus updates from state and local agencies urging everyone to follow CDC guidelines to protect ourselves and others, including at-risk populations who need to be protected from the virus.

"I know that many of you feel as anxious about the current situation as me," she wrote. "The best we can do to fight this together is to 'flatten the curve' by social distancing. This will help save lives and protect the incredible efforts of our healthcare and emergency workers on the frontlines. We owe it to them to do the right thing."
