*sigh*Argh! Angry, Confused, Scared.

My kid has some friends who have it, I'm super tempted to have him go hang out with them and actively try to get it, so that he'll get it, get over it, and be good for a long while.  He's 16.  I have zero worries about it for him, or my daughter (18).

If they were little kids, I'd worry even less.

My biggest concern about this thing, since March, was that everyone in our household would get it at the same time and that we'd each be hit hard. 

At this point (9+ months later) we have known some (I think it's 6) families who tested positive for this particular virus, and it seems like the way it's worked out is one feels it bad, for one it's like the normal flu, and maybe 1-3 others in the home show minor to no symptoms. I think that would be ideal. In those families, the kids were all in the group that was hit the softest, which obviously as a parent is how you want it to play out.


My wife works at a facility with lots of employees. Every few days a message gets sent out that someone else has tested positive for the currently dominant coronavirus strain. The concern for my family getting it (assuming we haven't already!) stays in my head, but it just doesn't move me emotionally.

Chin up, bjcheung. Have you come up with anything to lessen your worries?
