    Sorry to hear about your uncle Jeannie!

    Well... I just got a call from my dad. My mom has tested positive for COVID. They both have had feelings of congestion and sinus infection. My dad tested negative. I really hope for my mom's case that it is mild because she takes medication that weakens her immune system. Now they have to isolate from each other in the house.

    I hope they have a good support system, and get over it quickly. They know far more about it now, and despite the alarming numbers in this country, much progress has been made in treatment.

    So sorry to hear this. Wishing your mom a full and speedy recovery and fingers crossed that your dad will stay negative and dodge this damned virus.

    Keep us posted.
