Could I ask some questions about your FIL? I'm wondering if he's ever gotten COVID before, and if so how bad it was. Because it's easy to forget that people still actually die of COVID
This was his first covid infection. And yes, people think it is no big deal, and people are dying every day. They go to the doctor's office where people are coughing and sneezing and refuse to wear masks or distance themselves.
Do you know anything about his vaccination history? Or how often he goes out?
It's just wild to me that someone could've gone this long without even contracting covid
He was fully vaccinated for what that turned out to be worth, but he did go out 3-4 times a week.
My spouse and I are the last people we know that have not gotten it yet. We take all precautions, I am even sleeping in a different room from them until we know they did not pick up any hitchhikers from the hospital.
