in your life. You have covid. Take care of yourself and get well. Even if she did have cancer, what on earth are you supposed to do about it?

I saw let her believe what she believes. Tell her you're really sorry she's so sick and when you've recovered from covid you'll see what you can do to help her out, but right now you're too sick--and contagious!--to be much use to anyone.

There really isn't any point in arguing with these looney toons. I would step back as much as I could and let them enjoy your sister's "cancer" as much as they seem to want to, as long as they understood that you and your husband (and he could carry covid to infect them, too) were dealing with your covid. Tell them you're out of action until you (and your husband) have a negative covid test.

Let them have their fun, Debbie--they're clearly loving this.
