I remain alive and, so far as I know, uninfected.
Three days ago, I e-mailed my younger brother to verify that his daughter and her children are still living at the last address I knew for them. This was so I could send his granddaughter a card for her twelfth birthday.* His response (yes, they are) came yesterday, and he mentioned in passing that he was recovering from COVID. "It sucks. I was lucky but it still sucks." That this was the first I'd known of his illness should tell you all something of what a [engage sarcasm mode] close-knit family we are [end sarcasm mode].
* My younger brother has a twelve-year-old grandkid. Ye gods, I'm OLD. Save a spot for me on that park bench, Methuselah....
