That pheasant hunting trip my dad went on went about like expected. They got home 3 days ago, 4 have tested positive including the guy my dad went with and has been around constantly. One of the guys is already in the hospital. My dad is not feeling well and my stepmother and her twin sister have been heavily exposed. While my dad was on his hunting trip my stepmother had her friend from NOLA in town and she has been exposed the last 3 days and now she is getting on a plane from Reno to NOLA tomorrow afternoon despite this. Hope none of yall flying from Reno to NOLA.
