I recently attended a multi-day event and took a rapid test each day before attending any events with groups of people not in my own household. And a person can have the virus in early stages and not be aware of it, something a rapid test would reveal.Īs an elder, your mother might suffer worse symptoms than you would if she got the virus. Vaccinated people get and spread COVID to other vaccinated people. My husband agrees with me.ĭear Upset: No, you are. I have notified our mother that we will not take a rapid test, which we feel is totally unnecessary at this point in the pandemic.
I am disappointed that my brother has put our mom in the middle of this. My brother, who does not live with our mom and has no underlying conditions, is also vaccinated and boosted, but wants us to take a rapid test before arriving (according to our mom). Our household, and my mom, have all been vaccinated and boosted for COVID. You’d then decide if you wanted to grant him visitation.ĭear Amy: My mom has invited me, my husband and our two teenagers to her home for a special occasion dinner. Maybe your guy should move in with his neighbor. On the other hand, given your history, your guy’s behavior would trigger your own sense of loss. It does seem controlling for you to declare that therapy “won’t work” unless it follows a path you dictate. Dear Fed Up: My take: All of us want what we want when we want it.
