Step-father has COVID
To make a long story short... My father died when I was a baby, mother remarried, and I was raised by my step-father Robert. We didn't get along well, I left home at a young age, and we haven't been close all of these years. My family is split, my mother lives here with me in California and my half brother and step-father live in PA. I rarely return "home" to the East Coast, and when I do it's a short visit for a funeral or a wedding. I haven't seen my step-father in ten years, haven't spoken to him in five years - mostly because he can't remember who I am and calls me by my brother's name.
I just found out yesterday he has COVID, along with his partner Pat. Pat is in the hospital. Step-father is 85 and not in good health to begin with.
Much to my surprise he is a full on Trump supporter, believes COVID is a "hoax" and refuses to wear a mask unless he absolutely has to. The only reason he made it this far is because his nursing home has been pretty much locked down and he doesn't own a car any more.
