The problem I see and keep reading about is what happens later. Many seem to have loss of lung capacity, aches and pains they never had before,heart problems. Hopefully your relatives don't end up with any after affects but in reality only time will tell.
I know. I hope youth cancels some of that out. My son had covid last week. It hit him suddenly. He was tested Wed. and did not get the results back until Sun. (Way too long, in my opinion). He felt lousy those days, but is about normal now. He and his wife are on their second week of quarantine. He lives nearby but I did not have close contact with them last week. But I did get to thinking, if I was sick election day, how could I vote? As a precaution, and since I work that day and would hit the late afternoon rush, I drove to the courthouse yesterday to pick up an absentee ballot and vote on the spot. The deadline to do that was 5 p.m. Monday, and I made it with two hours to spare.
That's so sad, @rapmarks, so sorry for your loss. I'll add my "card story". My husband has played cards for over 35 years with the same guys (a couple of them he went to kindergarten with). They play on Monday nights during Monday night football and have a big super bowl guys weekend at a cabin grand finale. There are 8 of them. This year my husband opted out. The other 7 played. Almost right away, they were exposed by one of them. 4 of them got covid. 2 others tested negative. 1 did not test (nor feel ill). Thankfully, I think all of them have recovered, some got sicker than others. All have comorbidities. The guys seem to be coming through it okay. BUT... one of their wives got it - spent 11 days in the hospital. She is home now, but still on oxygen. She is a nurse, all her co-workers got tested. No one else she works with got it. Only her. She is convinced she got it from her husband who got it at cards. The person that got it first, barely stayed home, he works at a grocery store. He certainly did not quarantine like he should have. I try really hard not to judge and just do my thing (or not do my thing if you look at it that way). But how many people end up in the hospital (or die) because of this type of attitude / behavior?
Please Be safe and practice social distancing, wash your hands and wear your mask.
What card game are you playing. There are some card games on the internet for four (4) players to play.
So sorry for your loss. My mother, 80, had started meeting her prior work friends again for lunch every week toward the end of the summer. They would bring their lunches and meet at a park where they could spread out and eat outdoor. Last week was the first week they were scheduled to meet indoors at a restaurant and at the last minute she decided nope, not going to do it. So glad she is being extra cautious.
My husband and I continue to play golf and in our own golf cart. We have not had golfers catch COVID-19 at the club yet.
There are several "bridges card games that you can play on the internet, depending on the level of the card players. Just search bridges card game online .
