I feel like crying 😞

My son, who’s away at university, just tested positive for Covid. 🥺😔

He started school 2 weeks ago. He shares a dorm with two other roommates, so now he will need to be isolated. He is so worried about his classes and getting low grades for missing them.

This must be a cruel joke. How can he get Covid at the same time that my daughter and I have Covid? None of us have gotten it before. This is our first time.

It’s hard when I can’t be there to take care of him. 😢

I know you're concerned, and he is as well, but this is a very common scenario.

My daughter started college Fall 2020. She spent her entire first semester doing online courses, while isolated at her dorm the entire semester, and as student athlete, it was a double whammy, they had to test on daily basis for the entire semester. UberEats worked overtime :-)

I'm sure the school offers online participation in class, and office time via zoom.

I wish him, and you, a speedy recovery.
