Annnnnd my parents have COVID. In Amsterdam.
-
Quick update: they're still in Amsterdam. They should've left five days ago, but they keep testing positive so they can't get on a flight. The hotel they were staying at learned what was up with them and kicked them out, so they were "homeless" for something like 16 hours before finding somewhere else to stay. Took another PCR test, still positive. And got kicked out of their place again. ("No vacancy" but according to my dad, all but 3 rooms on their floor were empty.) So they're in a third hotel, and rebooked flights for the 14th. Fuckin' hell.
Spoke to my mom last night. She sounds like shit. Not "hospital" bad, but still pretty nasty.
@George-K @bachophile @jon-nyc Any of you guys have experience getting/sending meds in foreign countries? I don't think they packed for nearly so long a trip, so wondering how this might work.

Fuckin' hell.
On the homelessness! These people who kicked them out, did they have any advice about where they were to go??? And where did they go?
I see why the proprietors booted them -- sort of, it seems like they could have sequestered them somehow. It's not like the pandemic sprang into existence last week. But it still sucks.

I get it too, but at this stage I don't know how necessary it was.

They're not seeing a doc—some B.S. about insurance and int'l coverage (did they not check beforehand?). But yeah they're out of their antidepressants. Which, great.

Do they have any at home or do they need to have their prescription filled?

My guess is that a neighbor could ship them?

I'm pretty sure those hotels weren't allowed to kick them out.

Still though, they did, and by the time they get it sorted out, they'll be home. I'm sending this along, though.

I get it, but they were already kicked out and they already started staying elsewhere, so what difference does this make?
