My mother came down with something fierce, coughing really bad, painful coughing.

I took a chance to ask my father: "Did she get COVID19? Shouldn't we take her to a hospital"?

My father, just sitting there playing Age of Empires as if nothing's wrong in the world says to me: "It's just a cold."

If you guys ever wondered why I'm so abrasive, pessimistic and cynical towards everyone, this should make it a bit obvious.
