His family hasn’t told Monroe he’s tested positive yet, have decided not to until he asks. Other residents who learned they had the virus didn’t react well, his daughter said, and they didn’t think it was something he needed to know unless he asked. The family might go to the facility on Easter and wave from outside the window, or try to FaceTime him instead. The news that he has the virus has been hard for family members, for Monroe’s kids who are close to their grandparents. His wife calls to check on him daily, but she can’t walk inside anymore, bring him the VFW magazines that come in the mail.
