Grandson does not have Covid [View all]

followup from this post a couple of days ago:

https://democraticunderground.com/100215756223

His test and that of his Mom and Dad all came back negative. They just found out.
He does have something, however and so will be taking a trip to the pediatrician this morning to get looked at.

Since he is 10 months from the magic age of 12 our daughter is considering sneaking him in to get vaxxed and lying about his age. At 11 he is bigger than most 12 year olds.
