Harwood (the mother) and most of the rest of her family were quarantined because of their own COVID infections. She said she and her fiancé were out of work because of the pandemic.

Harwood said she wasn’t vaccinated.

“I was one of the people that was anti, I was against it,” she said. “Now I wish I never was.”
