    My mom is COVID positive. Strange since the disease isn't prevalent there. We don't know how it happened. She had a cough when we talked on the phone today. My dad is doing better. My mom is only worried about my dad and whether she'll give it to him. Not a bit about herself. My dad hasn't been tested. Now they're social distancing in their home. My mom keeps to one room and my dad to another. He's independent so it's all ok for now.

    Education is extremely important.

      Oh man I’m sorry to hear that. Is anyone around that can take care of her besides him?

        Not at the moment, but work from home rules give some freedom.

          Man, that's tough news! I hope her case is light and things go well for your dad.

                Geez....so sorry to hear, Horace.

                Hopefully her symptoms will be mild and short-lived.

                  Sorry to hear about it, Horace.
                  It is so worrisome when someone contracts it, and the question is, "how the hell. . . ?"
                  Hope it's a Trump version, fast lane to recovery!

                        Holy cow, Horace. Your folks are having a rough time already with health things this year. I hope her case is very mild. Keep us posted.

                              My finger is in a holding pattern, but I think and hope it gets a little bit better every day. I do fight against the scar tissue. My mom's symptoms are light. But my dad was tested and he's positive too. So these are sensitive days. Maybe in a few weeks I'll have some more confidence. Thanks for asking Kluurs.

                                        Horace, it has to weigh heavy to know they are facing another challenge. I hope they come through this well. Give updates as you can. We want to know and be supportive.
