My spouse and I lived in a split level at the time with his parents. His mother was diagnosed with Para Supranuclear Palsy (an incredibly aggressive form of Parkinson's) basically at the start of the pandemic. We were TERRIFIED of bringing Covid back into the house.

We were the healthiest group of people in our building and it wasn’t lost on me that if anyone in the building got sick and wasn’t careful, anyone or everyone could pay for it, and that shaped everything.
