Topics discussed:
- access to food during the pandemic: My uncle has been dropping off groceries at her house, but she is still afraid to actually see anyone. He has dropped the food outside the door and knocked, then she grabs the food after he leaves and wipes down the cans and boxes.
- Social events she sees on television: disappointed in college kids going back to school and partying like there's nothing going on.  I had to reassure her many times that I was safe and not going to parties.
- Bomb drills schools used to do: She told me about how she remembered her kids going to school and having to hide under desks to prepare for bombs in the 50s.  Now kids have to hide from active shooters and wear masks to school.
