Laura describes what it’s like to go to a well-baby checkup at the doctor’s office during the coronavirus pandemic, and Shanna gives an update on her COVID-19 antibody test in part six of their “Momming During Coronavirus” bonus series, where they come to you in real time to give an update on how they are dealing with the coronavirus upheaval. They also include more listener stories from around the world about what parenting is like during this pandemic. It’s been six weeks since the coronavirus pandemic has turned Laura and Shanna’s lives upside down, and the spread of COVID-19 has shut down schools, workplaces, parks, beaches and all non-essential businesses in Los Angeles, where Shanna and Laura live. They also share several BFPs that have arisen amidst the chaos of the last week, including Shanna’s secret technique for getting a delivery slot from Whole Foods.
Show Notes:

- LA County Antibody Test Results Shanna was part of this study, which shows infection rates are probably much higher than we thought.
