I'm really worried about my mom. She was coughing a lot when I saw her today, but she thought nothing of it...? It is concerning for obvious reasons, and also because she in general does not take good care of herself. I wish she took this situation seriously and STOPPED going out all the time. I am afraid it may be too late though.

She and my dad have not taken this situation seriously. They're both like, "I don't wanna be stuck at home." Well, do you think ANYBODY wants to be stuck at home 24/7? If they are not already part of the reason this is spreading, then they will be when they catch it. They are being very selfish and ignorant by going out multiple times a day everyday. (Yes, literally THAT often.)

Unfortunately, I had to leave my parents' house early because of my mom's coughing. Not worth the risk of staying, as much as I love her. It may be too late for her -- who knows yet -- but I am not going to let it be too late for me if I can help it.
