It turns out my mom got infected with COVID the beginning of this week. She is 84, she has the 4 shots and one influenza shot as well. At this moment she is fine, she had cough, phlemg. a little fever at the beginning but not anymore, but she says she is ok, like she had the flu. Her oxygen is fine as I measure it each day.
The thing is that my brother told my sister he does not want our family , couisns, my mom sister to know she has COVID, cause as we knowmy family once they know, they will start to bombard and stress us with chats, talks each single day and I have 7 aunts.

But my brother insists NO, we ask for suggestions to other people or look for other people to tell us. THe reason for the NO of my brother is beacuse my female cousin has a difficult temper as well and she can start a storm beause my mom has COVID to all the family.

She even told my brother that she could sue us if we are not taking good care of mom or abusing her and she will do it because my mom was her older sister and she care for her. I mean
