have to find that out the hard way.

Is your daughter being as conscientious as you are?

Hang in there. They WILL see the light. Once they start seeing the body counts and realizing how debilitating this is even for many who survive, they'll come around. Masking here is almost universal, so even conservatives must be doing it.

My cousin, who lives near me, told me in the beginning: "I have only one goal. Everyone who is alive today who I love will be alive when this goes away. That's all I'm concerning myself with." She browbeat some conservative relatives into submission and so far the extended family is doing well. That's all you can do: watch your own circle, and avoid the stupid people.

Hang in there. I wish you and yours continued health.
