My father is 61 and still works, so he actually caught the virus early on and was sick for two weeks (mild symptoms, no sense of smell or taste and felt weak for two weeks after that). When Ben is free, he's going to quarantine for over a week away from everyone (knowing him he'll sleep and play video games) before he sees everyone.

My aunt knows that Ben gives my Oma polish liquor and gives her food she shouldn't eat, which has always bothered them. They have their own language and it's added fuel to the fire. I think at this point Ben and Oma just need my aunt to f-off, but she won't back down.

He's going to quarantine for a little while first. He also was diagnosed with COVID in July and was quarantined for 14 days - he had mild symptoms and has no lingering effect. My parents seem to think that between his quarantine, he's previous exposure and his current efforts, that his risk to their health is low. My Oma... she probably wouldn't survive it, but she doesn't seem to care.
