My mother is very concerned about getting covid again given her age bracket (she's 80). My father still had covid in his body when he died, so he had long-term covid and never recovered. My mother is worried about going to public restaurants, and she doesn't want to take the risk.

It's my husband's 50th bday on Monday, and we're going out to a very nice restaurant with his mom, former nanny and best male friend. My mother was also invited, but she has declined because of her covid concerns.

So, I just need to spend time with mom at her home, or doing something else that does not involve a public restaurant.
