I just did some shopping for my Dad. Wore a mask, dropped off the stuff at his place, said hi from a distance, and left. I feel terrible about the whole thing but he's in his 70's now. Would never forgive myself if I gave it to him and it killed him.

We did the same for my MIL last weekend, she came out to the car and begged us to come inside because she was so lonely and didn't understand why we wouldn't do so. It was pretty awful, but the same scenario - even though the chances of us having it and being asymptomatic are miniscule (don't go anywhere except walk the dogs late at night) neither of us would ever forgive ourselves if the worst happens. Late 70's, diabetic, just had major back surgery and has a thyroid issue she's dealing with right now, it wouldn't go well for her if she got it.
