My BF's Dad passed away last night from COVID. He was 87, so there were underlying conditions. He lived in a VERY remote area of MI.

They are having a funeral Friday and my BF wants me to come. I told my two grown sons and they said NOOOOOOO MOM. Love them for their protectiveness, but I think they are right.

I'm glad the governor shut things down again. JS and IMO
