As a mother myself, I can tell you with complete certainty that even if your mother was psychologically healthy, she'd be going out of her mind with anxiety over your brother's illness. That is simply something mothers do.
I'm having difficulties focusing on my own work as well. It just seems far more important that I become an expert on post-war Vienna than that I produce any actual work, y'know? 😀
Sending many, many good thoughts for R's recovery. Rapid COVID-19 tests have high specificity but low sensitivity—meaning that positives can be trusted but there are a fair number of false negatives.
