My condolences too. I often jokingly say that you should thoroughly boil all children before petting them, but there's a slim thread of truth to it. Kids, via schools and their friends, are often the vectors for the "bug that's going around" to do that going around. That's bad enough at normal times but add to that kids are innately less good at discipline about handwashing, and following other infection avoidance advice, then the little darlings are a double threat to the vulnerable at the moment. If, as Stray Electron has said, you're in the habit of getting the little darlings out of your hair by dumping them on granny/grandad perhaps it's a good idea to consider not doing that at the moment. |

My condolences for your loss. I am on the edge as two 70+ year-old relatives are hospitalized with Covid-19 and we are in touch twice daily, monitoring the progress of the disease. We live 8000km away in separate countries, thus there is not anything we can really do. |

Sincere Condolences for the lady's passing and the partner's loss. Many relatives, neighbors and friends here in their 80s and 90s are in perfect vintage health so far, and the ones with serious long term issues, preferring to cash out ASAP before their memory and vital body parts go south badly and slowly, as well as not wanting to be a further burden on families and the health system, are wondering why this 'latest Corona thing' has let them down FWIW and YMMV once you pass beyond 65 and have health issues, any exposure to extreme weather, injuries, depression/anxiety, infections, bad medication mix and heavy flu or bronchial issues, can and will finish you off once and for all. And let's not forget those tiled kitchen slips and gardening/gutter cleaning ladder falls, to get the show on the road :scared: Sometimes elderly people with no issues, just keel over and pass on, whilst others in the same age and build group that are always at the doctors getting a fix, just keep going, till their day comes to go too and VISE VERSA applies too Corona is getting too much credit as compared with the other 'confirmed effect' modern maladies that have been contributing to speeding up aging peoples demise for decades More proof required to totally buy into this global panic flogging, not pages of statistics from questionable and conflicting sources, backed by circus news media industry 'story' vendors, doing what they regularly do best..roll with anything that gets them attention and advertisers ::) |

I'm quite concerned about my 5 year old nephew picking his nose and eating it. I hope my sister manages to nip it in the bud soon. |
