I bring it up here because I am despondent. She sees any refusal to come visit as a betrayal.

Can you offer a delayed Christmas? End of February? March?

I am in Connecticut; she's in New York. Once we don't have raging community spread, I'd drive down gladly. I tried to explain community spread the other day. She only thinks you get it from patients if you're health provider!

Consider yourself lucky. My mom’s short term memory is so shot that she wakes up each morning not understanding the restrictions in her nursing home. She promptly calls each morning, confused. I explain COVID to her almost every day, as if it was day one of the shutdown.
