My kid's best friend has Covid. [View all]

He apparently got quite sick with it despite being vaccinated. Was at his sickest about a week ago, and still very audibly sick on his Skype call to my kid right now.

His other best friend has had it, apparently more than once.

They're currently being homeschooled in order to keep their 82 year old grandma safe.

Pandemic definitely not over yet.
