Someone I Know Got Covid

 My plans for the Christmas weekend had been set in stone since November.  But now I am without.

My friend’s wife, a local girl, came down with it I learned Saturday night. She has all the symptoms: headache, stomach pains, fever and throat pain. My friend suspects he was the carrier.  His young daughter is staying with an Ayi (domestic help) and can’t go to school.  He is locked down for ten days.  

So I won’t be doing much this Christmas weekend.  Under the circumstances, I can’t make alternate plans.

As with anything to do with Covid, whether it be the over reaction to it or the virus itself, it came just in time for the holidays.  Too bad.  I was looking forward to the party.
