MEDIA, PA – As COVID-19 slows and the economy opens back up, Dawn Kershetsky is no longer able to put off visiting her parents. \u201cI was really banking on this second wave to come in hotter,\u201d Dawn told the Satirer. \u201cIn the beginning, I thought the pandemic was a blessing in disguise, I mean how often do you get an excuse to not visit your folks and<\/em> act like you\u2019re doing them a favor?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately for Dawn, fewer people have died from this horrible disease in the last few weeks. As businesses only partially open back up under new safety guidelines, Dawn has been unable to fall back on her usual excuses of work trips, volunteering, or pet sitting. \u201cI can\u2019t tell them I\u2019m busy with other stuff after I spent the last seven months posting about what a hero I was for staying indoors,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Satirer reached out to Joe and Irene Kershetsky but were unable to obtain a comment from them as they were both in intensive care recovering from COVID-19. Upon receiving the news, Dawn exclaimed, “Wait a minute, they <\/em>caught it? Ugh! If they recover and become immune I’ll never <\/em>be able to get out of visiting them!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
