Extremely little, both of them. They're both convinced that if they were

to get COVID, they would die. And although they are in their late 60s, both are in what I would consider very good health overall. When I look at the survival rates for their general demographic, and consider their vaccinated status, I find it really hard to understand (what I'm interpreting as) their very high fear levels. (I'm not bashing them for that, of course, rather just looking for ways to encourage them.)

My parents are both 75 and were rightfully fearful of contracting Covid -- HooStu 04/07/2021 4:20PM

Since I'm back in the office one day a week, I've taken to striking up -- 1994Wahoo 04/07/2021 2:59PM

You should stop, because that is -- sfb123 04/07/2021 5:55PM

I would leave them alone. It's their life and there are many other viruses -- wdwhoo 04/07/2021 2:58PM

I'm simply seeking ways to be supportive and encouraging while not -- QBSacker 04/07/2021 8:26PM

"Supportive." ** -- TheManUpstairs 04/09/2021 2:10PM

You got a question in there? Or just trying to be a jerk? ** -- QBSacker 04/09/2021 2:20PM

I agree ** -- 111Balz 04/07/2021 4:10PM

This. Unless the fear is causing damage to their lives, I'd leave it be. ** -- VAGentleman05 04/07/2021 4:08PM

Have they at least begun doing activities that they have avoided -- Hoojack 04/07/2021 2:45PM

Agreed -- GtownHoo 04/07/2021 2:45PM

Now what I hope for is personal choice moving forward -- hoos2008 04/07/2021 2:48PM

Covid is likely the best thing you can catch in a steamroom. ** -- Ronald Mexico 04/07/2021 4:22PM
