Well 2020 is definitely the year that just keeps on giving......
I lost my Mum to cancer just over a month ago and we are muddling through sorting her affairs reasonably well - obviously am pretty devastated but trying to fuction.
My MIL who I cared for for 18 months before her dementia got too bad for us to handle safely is in a care home now. Today my DP had the call that she (74) has tested positive for the virus along with 3 or 4 others - but currently they are asymptomatic.
Obviously no-one knows when or how she became infected - lockdown has been strictly observed and some staff even lived in to minimise risk and we are very much of the opinion that it is what it is - so what I'm really looking for is anyone with knowledge or experience of this kind of scenario and thoughts on the likelihood of her becoming actually ill with it....... which is probably not possible, but we're the types who like as much info as possible in order to manage our thoughts and anxieties etc.
I can't allow myself to dwell on the problems and effects of her having to be isolated etc because I might just lose my shit as I've seen enough suffering since Christmas to last me a lifetime, and my DP is trying to remain stoic......
So hit me with science and risk assessments etc if you can - I know many people on this board have lots of insight and experience and I would be very grateful.
