Sarah Rymer suspects her 11-year-old son was infected with the coronavirus, and she knows her husband was. He coaches Pee Wee football, and at least two other kids on his team also tested positive.

The Grundy County schools, which her three children attend, were forced to close for more than a week soon after the fall semester began. Her best friend’s uncle recently died from covid-19, and a close friend’s mother spent her 53rd birthday in the hospital at Vanderbilt University up in Nashville.

The coronavirus pandemic feels more serious than ever to Rymer.
