We have very good, lifelong friends. In turn, all of their large extended family are friends. We are like family to and with them all. The older adults, like us in our 70's, and then the downstream kids and grandkids. They have continued to do family gatherings for birthdays and holidays during the pandemic.
So far, the COVID count in the family is......
Husband and wife (our friends, in their 70's)
His sister (80'ish)
Sister's 2 adult daughters (50's-60's). Sister's adult son (50's)
Husband and wife's 2 daughter's (40-50) and 1 son (45)
The 2 daughters' kids and husbands (husbands-40-50 and then their 6 kids and 1 boyfriend)
I think that is 18 people in one extended family. Apparently, all have been cautious, following the rules, other than the family get togethers.
Be safe, stay within your own 'bubbles'.
All have done relatively well. The boyfriend (late 20's) was hospitalized, on oxygen, cardiac ward. He is home now, recuperating.
The latest batch probably came from Thanksgiving and recent birthday.
ETA--1 additional nephew added
ETA--The husband at the beginning of the list, age 77, passed away yesterday (please stay in your own household 'bubbles')
