D&D and the rising pandemic

I'm sad and angry. This is my story...

One of my cousins isn't vaccinated and has ended up with a mild case of Covid. Now the Christmas plans are derailed, we won't be able to gather with them. My brother gave a ride to my cousins the other day and is a possible carrier.
And guess who else has been exposed to my brother ever since? -yes myself-. I might have to quarantine and might not be able to spend Christmas with my parents or anybody while at that.

I am vaccinated, but I only got one of these Chinese one dose shots, which give like 60% protection and have a limited response after six months -I wanted a two shot vaccine, but that is the one I was given. I could have risked my job if I had rejected it to wait for a better one-. The worst part is I could have avoided getting exposed to my brother -because I wanted to remain home to help my mother with all of the cooking-, but he really needed me to do him a favor and all but dragged me along.

(Did I mention there is a non-zero chance that this could be my Dad's last Christmas? We don't know yet, any official diagnosis will be given to us in January, but it could either be a good prognosis -a surgery and recovery with long time to live- or a very bad one -some months and change-)

U.U.oO

Good luck chief.

I'm very sorry to hear this. One of my best friends has just been confirmed positive, and his family LOVE Christmas. Baking, giant decorations in the yard, the whole nine yards. My friend and his wife have a young daughter and his brother (and his wife) has two more, and they were all looking forward to it, and now Kevin has to quarantine. His daughter may not be able to see her cousins either. :/

Best wishes to you - your family and you personally. COVID wrecked my last year's Thanksgiving family get-together (daughter maybe-exposed at college; long story). Most of you can try again to meet for Epiphany maybe?

I hope you / your Dad get the better news in the end.

I hope so. Thank you and everybody.

I've just had a PCR test done to me. I'll be getting results later. While I'm almost sure I'm clean -I made a timeline of sorts, even if the exposition was enough for my brother to get sick, it had been less than 36 hours since, possible even barely 24. So maybe not enough for him to be contagious-, I need to wait for the results and wait a bit more to go home. So definitely spending Christmas alone...

I hope that everything turns out well for you. I'm currently caring for my mother who has stage 4 lung cancer and is on oxygen. It's amazing how hard it can be to explain to relatives that no, you won't be bringing her to a family holiday dinner, with people who have not vaccinated and will not be vaccinated, just because they're "FAAAAAMILY."

Funny how they won't get vaccinated for "FAAAAAMILY" though, isn't it?
