Covid coming closer

Oh man ... it feels like the pandemic's found me again. Cook County numbers on the rise. My sister's shut out of her workplace due to contamination concerns, tho she and my cousin who work with her both got negative tests back today. But my institutionalized great-aunt's roommate is in the hospital with a positive COVID-19 diagnosis, and my aunt's being quarantined in her care home. My aunt is developmentally disabled and aging, and unfortunately due to family finances and state laws is still in gods-cursed Indiana, where everything's been thrown open again for the last month. My aunt has cold symptoms; we're waiting on test results. It would be a blow to her if her roommate passes away, as well; she's had a few too many losses in the last few years.

I'm safe, I don't go anywhere, A's negative but he has to face the holiday retail scene and it's a mess. My sister's talking about permanent changes to her food&bev sector career. Ugh.
