Going into the new year, it seemed the family was done with COVID-19. We just rode out our quarantine, said Nickey Stamey, 41. I was, by far, the most symptomatic, but everybody else, the three guys did really well. We did our quarantine and went on with our lives.
On Dec. 28, they were finished with quarantine, and all seemed in the clear. I don t know, I didn t have like this deep sense of fear, she said.
Most of her concern was for her 73-year-old father. She had just lost her mother to COVID-19 on Dec. 8. Getting COVID on the heels of my mother having just died from it, I was very concerned for my father, Stamey said. I wasn’t as concerned for my husband and son, because they were not symptomatic and they seemed to be faring very well.
