with my mom yet. She’s recovering at home- never got medical care at all, though she should have. She’s just too stubborn to go to the doctor. I’m pretty sure she has/has covid pneumonia but she’s honestly doing better.

Her husband didn’t make it though. Neither was vaccinated.

I’m assuming she’s processing the death of her spouse still. I’ll ask her about getting vaccinated in a week or so.
