I was last to test positive and so far have the fewest symptoms, but we're all pretty wiped and grateful we'd planned to be home this week.

On Monday, Meili tweeted his son Gus had to go to the hospital on his fifth day with COVID.

Update: spent the day in Peds ER with Gus (4), COVID day 5. He'd been improving, but woke up crying in pain today.

He had viral myositis – muscle inflammation secondary to the virus – bad enough he couldn't walk, and blood CK levels high enough to risk damaging his kidneys. https://t.co/6QOuFQC50o pic.twitter.com/C2wRhRrxOb
