ALT Parents ignoring Covid quarantine My mother and stepfather, both in their 80s, have tested positive for covid. This is his 4th day sick and he's been coughing all over and touching everything in the house. Neither have been masking. My mother tested positive today. They're about to go out to the bank and grocery store. My mother wanted me to take her and I refused, said I didn't feel safe in the confined area of a car with her. I offered to run both errands *for* her but, no, she wants to go herself. So now my stepfather is taking her. I've explained over and over how contagious covid is. How they can make other people sick. How they need to quarantine. They just refuse to take it seriously. My mother says, "Everyone else walks around with covid, anyway. I don't see any reason I shouldn't."

ALT I even got their doctor on speakerphone to back me up. He told them how easily it could spread, even if they wear masks. How even them touching things could spread it to someone else. My mom just talked over him and said she feels fine. I'm beyond frustrated and feel awful for anyone who might be impacted by their stubborness. How can I get through to them?
