Two friends. One week.

One has been exposed to COVID after a doctors appointment. The other tested positive and has been sick for a week...along with her daughter, mom at 86. Two cousins and a niece as well. They wear masks when out but not with family. Limited contact yet...sigh. The friend that is sick, she and her family are doing okay.

Stay safe.

Half measures will not work. We need to tighten down not loosen up. marble falls Jan 2021 #4

Two of my elderly relatives have died from covid.
It is hard to protect oneself.
Stay home and stay safe.

I am taking care of a 94 year old. I have been home for the better part of a year.

Stay safe as well. Dark times ahead.

It is important to be careful around folk that old.
Though I know a 96 year old woman, who gave her extended family covid. They all got sick and she didn't.
Bless your efforts.
