They are not going outside. Her husband has arterial fibrillation so he's definitely staying inside. They had just changed the filter on their furnace/hepa.
Luckily their house is also energy efficient based on the codes they had to follow to build their place. Windows are hyper efficient.

Please take care of yourself. She mentioned rain the other day and was hopeful so my fingers are crossed for you as well.
