COVID-19 Hits Close to Home

Microbe

A close friend, and his family, all have come down with COVID-19 as a result of some Christmas family time. I am so sorry for them. I know the intentions were good - and the precautions the family took were meant to keep everyone safe, but this is a nasty flu, and it's indiscriminate to whom it will hit. Closed spaces for several hours - like a Thanksgiving or Christmas celebration is just what it likes.

I think my household got it back in February 2020, after some trips to Seattle and San Francisco I had to take for work. I was in a packed airplane, and those cities at that time were hot spots. I got sick, for a few days, and then got better. My daughter was sick for a few weeks, and got better. While we haven't been tested, we survived without major complications.

I hope my friend's family does as well. This is a scary thing to have happen...
