So far 9 year old "nephew" and cousin are doing as well as can be expected, waiting on testing on rest of family.

the aftermath is pretty involved - all 3 kids attend in person grammar schools with desks separated by plexiglass, but all classmates have now been contacted and all have to self quarantine for 14 days including their families. cousin/wife had to call everyone they could think of that they came in contact with in the last 7 days and tell them. all 3 kids are heavily involved in soccer and football and now those team mates and opposing players/families have to be contacted as well.

The moral of the story is that symptoms might not show for 4-7 days after being infected, so it's very difficult to figure out how/when you were infected, so practicing social distancing is still very important.

I hope my nephews and family are ok, they're good people and this year has sucked.

Hopefully they all recover quickly with no long lasting issues.
Dodged a bullet with your mom I'd say.
