Need2know, I'm glad your mom is home. Some of the people I know who've had this say it's not been like the flu for them. The lung damage seems the hard thing to get past for them. I wonder if your mom had a problem with lack of oxygen. Not like knowing would do any good.
I also went to a zoom happy hour, but there were only about 10 people, my colleagues and students, and I didn't stay long enough for the drinking to annoy me. Two of them have been sick, so I wanted to check in. Also the organizer had a good game -- everyone sent in baby/toddler pictures of themselves, and we played match the baby face.
<3 to all. Probably some of you are coming out of solitary. Yay!
