Our family situation is super fucked. My mom lives with us now, and she’s high risk. My son is attending UT in Austin, so he’s possibly bringing home the rona. My wife works for a school district, so her exposure is minimal compared to actual school house people, but someone on the floor above her tested positive last week. I work with my brother 5 days a week doing low voltage stuff. Riding in the same vehicle, whatever one gets the other surely will too. His wife is a teacher, 3rd grade. Exposure risk is pretty high because KISD gives zero fucks about the teachers. Parents don’t have to tell the school when they have had a positive test in the house, don’t have to keep their kids home. My daughter is a teacher, also KISD. She has had two kids in her class test positive this year, and she’s dating a soldier. Exposure risk super high. We haven’t seen her since the school year started beyond a quick drop by for a to-go plate of food.
My wife’s parents are high risk, my SIL’s mom that lives in town is medium risk. My wife’s sister and their family live in Leander and usually attend. They have already said they aren’t coming.
I think limiting our thanksgiving to my family and my brother’s makes sense. Even though my SIL’s exposure risk is elevated, we are exposed due to my brother and I working together anyway. We thought about doing something outside with heaters and fire pits, but my wife basically said there’s no fucking way she’s going to be outside in the cold. I think we are going to do to-go plates for all the family in the immediate area and catch the rona from my son anyway.
