Gary B is positive

 Our son Gary sent me a text yesterday telling me he has tested positive for Covid. He said they took two other tests at the same time. His symptoms currently are fatigue and achiness. I have asked him to keep me updated and I hope he remains healthy enough to do that. Missouri has been an open state since summer. Many people there do not "believe" in it so this has been a bigger concern for those of us who know it isn't a matter of belief. Gary is a teacher so his job has put him in a high-risk category. We know he has done all he could in the way of precautions. He is just that kind of guy. And yet here he is...

And our friend Renie was called back to Michigan to take her mother, who has Covid, home from the hospital. The hospital sent her mother home, a woman who had Covid in her late 80's who was on oxygen 24 hours of every day and there was no one there to care for her. So Renie had to go, and now Renie has Covid and her mother has passed so she is trying to take care of all that goes with that as well. Renie is struggling but still able to function. There are so many things wrong with this scenario.
