Either/or, Guinness. Kate might be passing the tests but there is no guarantee that she isn't somehow contagious as tests unfortunately are not always fool-proof and there is evidence that even a vaccinated person can still be contagious. Even though she might not have the virus herself she might have been in contact with someone or something very recently where the virus is - too recent for it to show up in her tests. Thinking she is virus-free might make her a bit careless. On the other hand Megan might not have been in contact with anyone with the virus or been to any hot spots. Even though she doesn't believe all the hype maybe she is extra vigilant with hand sanitising, distancing herself from others, and so on.

So who to leave the relative with - as I said, it's either or. Toss a coin.

Sorry Guinness, couldn't help myself - I was born with a wooden spoon in my hand and it wasn't for cooking with. I am a natural-born stirrer.

By the way, you might be interested to know that some people/organisation in America don't want old people to be labelled 'elderly' or even 'senior' as this might offend - according to them they should be referred to as 'older adults'. For anyone's information I am an old chook - and you can call me what you like.
