When Donna Letto got a phone call one day in December, she says, she recognized the voice on the other end of the phone.

Or at least, she believed she did.

“I thought it was my son,” the St. John’s woman told CBC News in a recent interview. “My husband was sitting on the chesterfield at the time and I said, ‘Oh, that’s Daryl calling.'”

Her son’s voice sounded a little off, though, and she asked him about it.

“I said, ‘You’ve got a bit of a cold, don’t you?’ He said, ‘Yeah, I’ve got a cold the last couple of days but there’s nothing to it. It’s not COVID.’
