'm a 58-year-old wife, mother and grandmother living in Burlingame,
California. When the COVID-19 pandemic began last year, my
husband, Oscar, and I were very careful during lockdown. We didn't
even see our children or grandchildren. But on Saturday, June 13, a
friend came over.
I was baking cookies, and he brought a pie his girlfriend made. The idea was
to exchange goodies. He walked in and handed me the pie, and he and my
husband each grabbed a beer and sat outside to talk.
Two days later, our friend called to apologize, saying that he and his girlfriend
had tested positive for COVID-19. My husband and I started to panic.
