Well, my 82-year-old mother tested positive.

[PA_jen]

Yes, she is double vaxed and double boosted.

She lives in a senior apartment complex. and on Saturday she saw some people wearing mask and rumors of someone having Covid. She doesn't expect management to come out and say Jim Smith 2D has covid but she thought management would say we believe there is a case of covid in the complex please consider wearing masks in common areas. (Red area of PA so you know how that can be).

She called me because one of her friends in the complex tested positive and she took a test. She thought she had done the test wrong and said there was 2 lines. I told her that meant, she was positive. She was in the middle a second test when she called. She asked me to call my sister (covid-is-a-hoax-nut) asking her if she hard a mask she needs to wear it.

Sis and niece coming in from Maryland/Delaware area. Niece put me on speaker and My sis response to mask wearing "Well, that's not going to happen" with you are so stupid tone.

She is midway into PA. UPDATE: Sister is turning around to go home 4:35 pm

got to love family

3. Didn't you catch it in the past?

I'm so sorry you're sister doesn't get it. Hopefully, covid will fade from you and your family's lives.

4. i have had it 3 times this year all more than likely omicron strain. I haven't

seen mom in 2 months usually I take the 1 1/2 trip up to see her at least twice a month.

well we have idiots like my sister who will allow covid to mutate. This BQ variant has me VERY worried.

5. That's all my 98 year-old mother had when she tested positive a few months back

The sniffles were around three days, or so, but she was steamed she had to remain in quarantine for an additional two weeks.

6. I'm glad your mother is better.

9. My 86 year old dad had it in July

He felt rotten for four or five days and was weak and worn out for about two weeks after that. He's fine now. My 83 year old mother was near him the whole time and never had any symptoms. Good luck to your mother

10. Please tell your mom to get a prescription for Plaxovid.

11. Best wishes to your mom and you. At least it was your sister

who got to turn around and go home as consequence of politicizing health protections.

12. In my parents' retirement community

Masks are mandatory in common areas as soon as anyone is infected, or when the community transmission rate is anything but green.

Sorry your sister doesn't care about you mother, or other elderly people. She'll be there some day . . . And she's better hope her own children care more about her.
