28. Exactly, and adult children & their kids who cannot visit their elderly parents, aunts & uncles in

nursing homes & hospitals. My God, this is a hideous virus. A close friend's daughter just had her baby couple months ago, and the baby's great-grandmother (GG) had to stand outside the glass window to see the newborn after he was brought home. My friend had the baby & her parents stay at her house, and they arranged the behind-glass-window visit both to protect the GG and the baby for fear that if they were to contract the virus, their family would not be allowed to be with either one in the hospital. My friend said it was heartbreaking to see GG's tears since the little one was her first great-grandchild and she could not hold the baby. Such is our new normal.
