[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8508215, member: 4348"] Don't tell her it's about Covid. Instead tell her that it sounds as if her cough is really bad and that you are afraid she may have gotten the recent RSV (like a cold, not Covid, and you can explain it is explicitly NOT Covid) that has been going around. You are concerned as it can affect older adults adversely and it's been spreading really quickly among young children even and doing more harm to the kids than Covid recently. That you'd like her to get it checked out just in case, as the sooner they see her the easier it is to treat and such. Not sure if that would help, but as you are approaching it from an angle that it is NOT Covid, but something else may help prompt her to seek out help. PS: The above is true, there is an RSV that's been going around among kids recently that can also cause Pneumonia. Normally it is mild, but occasionally can spark into something worse, especially among young kids or the elderly. Covid has been in the headlines, but the RSV has been rather prevalent recently. So, you are actually telling the truth, even if it could also have a Covid test while at the doctor's as well and treat it also if that's what pops up. [/QUOTE]
