A Faithful Quarantine

toil we must in soil we trust
for the life giving strength
of all manner of dust -

We’ve been quarantined. Dad’s been experiencing some secondary symptoms & Tim was with him on Saturday. Doc thinks as likely as not its Covid, but patients are not getting tested in this area unless exhibiting extreme symptoms or at very high risk. So...we don’t know. Grrrrr.
