While I was in Mammoth, my cousins stopped by my mom's to bring her lunch. They had just been to a memorial for their daughter-in-law's father a few days earlier. They found out later that their daughter-in-law's sister tested positive for covid. So they called me - I hate to see him call me on the phone because I fear the worst news and he usually just texts me with trivial stuff. Since he and his wife had been exposed - and they're in their 70s and very cautious - they were letting me know out of precautionary courtesy.
They got their tests back and they are negative.
However, their granddaughter is positive. She's only a year or two old. They were watching over her during the service but didn't contract it. They suspect transmission happened directly from her aunt. The granddaughter has a fever. Their daughter-in-law is an MD - anesthesiology - and she had just got her first job under that title when the pandemic hit. She turned down the job and decided to focus on caring for her daughter. Her husband works for facebook and they are financially well off. He's exhibiting some slight cold-like symptoms. She is asymptomatic.
