My mom wants me to take the SAT at the epicenter of the virus
Okay so I’m 17 and I’ve already taken the SAT and got 990. So right after I took the test I went to go stay with my father in a different state. Right when I left it was spring break so I was shocked when I found out that my school had shut down and I had to take class online. I didn’t really mind it though. Well my mother has been hassling next to take the SAT again but I’ve told her that Florida wasn’t doing it. My dad he’s a right wing guy so he understands why they aren’t giving it out but my mom called me every day to make sure that I was checking. Then she contracted the corona virus and she’s had it for almost a month now. She wants me to come home but I have asthma and that wouldn’t be safe for me. But because Florida is run by idiots they’ve decoded to open everything including the SAT testing. I love my mom but she’s an idiot. She’s willing to let her asthmatic daughter who’s got a better chance of dying from this disease because I also have a weakened immune system take a stupid test that most colleges aren’t even asking for because she wants me to get a higher score. I don’t know what to do. I haven’t been studying because I’ve been up late freaking out about going back to the epicenter of this virus. I just feel like she cares more about bragging about her parenting skills than she does about my life. I don’t know what to do. Do I just tell her I’m not taking the test and stay at my dads place where I only come into human interaction once every 2 weeks or just ride it out?

Tell her my SAT score is 990 and will remain 990 until Covid-19 is behind us. Let her know nobody is thinking about school right now or getting into college. Ask her politely to lay off. If that doesn't do it have your father lay into her about it because it needs to register.
Also, tell her that there's no way you are coming home with someone who has Corona Virus or recently had it because you have asthma and are at a high risk for dying even if it looks like she asymptomatic. Make sure your father backs this up. She can't make you go do something that will adversely affect your health.
I would see your family doctor and talk about mom and the fact you can't leave to go back with her because of her positive test results and your asthma. Have him/her put it in writing that you shouldn't leave where you are or be with her because she's not well. Few people would go against a doctor. The test doesn't matter but your life does.
I wouldn't call her an idiot but she's certaintly misguided and ill-informed about Covid-19 which sadly a lot of people are. More or less when it comes to your health you have to do the polar opposite of what the president says. She may not be able to separate fact from bullshit unfortunately.
