I would suggest that the boy stops tugging himself during this period. Having lived through this awful disease, I know first hand that the body needs to conserve as much energy as possible. I have a friend who finds it very difficult to stop tugging and after catching COVID ended up in hospital no doubt due to the constant strain he was putting on his body.

Wishing all a speedy recovery but chances are they will be perfectly fine with a bit of paracetamol and plenty of fluids - important thing is not to stress out as that depletes the immune system.
In the UK hospitals were instructing patients to use a very similar breathing technique to the Wim Hof method, lying on the stomach and doing breathing exercises to increase blood oxygenation and survival rates in hospital patients - there's the NHS patient guide to Covid-19 breathing exercises here: NHS Patient Information - Covid-19 breathing technique
Video of NHS Dr explaining the technique - BBC
Obviously not 100% effective but can help ease symptoms and increase comfort.

Has he tried Kellogg's cornflakes? John Kellogg hated onanists and locked up teenage tuggers in his US sanitariums to cure them of the terrible affliction. His brother inveted the cereal as an aphrosiac but John removed the sugar and marketed cornflakes as an anti-masturbation morning meal with great success which is why the chicken on the front of the cereal box remains unchoked to this day.
Steer clear of Frostie. They're the original aphrodisiac version, hence the cum stains on the cornflakes.

- His older brothers are more independent and will that small difference have an impact on infection?
Just one curious thought I had while reading your OP....
Regardless of whether or not any of the boys test positive, I'm wondering if she had been preparing most of their meals for them over the past few days?
Based on what she told me, the cynical side of me sees this as an opportunity to learn more about: - Body composition vs severity. She's a short woman and a little overweight in apple shape. I'm fairly confident she doesn't exercise.

Good way to waste an hour i guess.
What exactly do those approximately 36 deaths prove to you? The virus is bad? Or is that your easily manipulated heart overpowers your brain.
Covid didn’t kill Larry King btw....

Just learned that I have CV antibodies. Don't recall having Covid. I do recall having a "cold" in Feb. (that's what it felt like) or a MILD flu for about a week. I am super healthy (no medical conditions at all; great 'numbers' for bloodwork and chemistries).
HOWEVER... I easily have 50 pounds I should lose - that I gained from stopping smoking about 4 years ago after 30 years AND menopause. I am very active and eat well but just can't seem to lose this weight.
Anyway, I digress.... But as far as weight and COVID, it is my belief (FWIW) based on observation of those I know who have had it, that weight isn't a big factor IF it is not also causing other weight-related medical problems.
Basically, those I know who have had CV and are overweight - but WITHOUT other weight-related issues (such as myself, apparently) - have not had a bad case of it, or significant problems. On the other hand, I do know others who got it and are overweight WITH other medical issues, and they had a tougher time (1 death). Thus, it SEEMS like the weight factor and its relation to CV prognosis might be hard to pin down completely.
Hope your friend feels better soon OP and that her kids (and you and yours) fare well!

It’s my belief your health is your own problem and if it’s your right to fill yourself with booze,corn syrup or any medication of your choosing for the duration of your life span to what ever ends you see fit, just don’t cry when your in a early grave. Me wearing a mask or evening considering your health or your 81 year old mothers is a waste of my time. Your health starts with you!
The big factors in if you live or die start with you not me.
Your right my heart doesn’t bleed for the lives claimed by covid anymore then it bleed for anyone else that dies for any reason.
We have cancer killing people by the millions and just being a fat ass will definitely get you buried early and rightfully so.
I would just like the world worry about what’s actually killing us by the truck load.
The care home numbers are higher because your retarded politicians send covid patients into care homes.
I think they called in cuomosexuality or something progressive like that.
I wish you and yours long happy lives healthy lives, it takes effort tho.

My doctor gave me the test because I had a rash on my upper arms that is apparently common post COVID by a few months.
However, Kroger supermarket offers the antibody test for $25. It’s just a finger prick there - and then read on a meter similar to a pregnancy test. Very quick and easy. I had an antibody test there in November but that one was negative.

That really sucks, being real sick and stuck with your kids at home 24/7. She is going to be stressed to hell. Those kids will make a mess of the house, such a mess that she would probably rather die than clean it after a week. Can you imagine what the kitchen will be like in a week?
