It is just a matter of time before we all know someone who has died of COVID-19. That happened for me yesterday. Not a close friend; he was an older gentleman (in his 80s) who felt sick went to the ER and didn't even make it to intubation.
Sadly in a month or so everyone will know someone who died from COVID-19. One of the things that is so weird is how fast this is all going to hit. In the World Wars or Vietnam the deaths were spread out over a long time--I fear we will have 100ks of deaths in the next month or so.
Shit as I type this my wife just told me of another friend who died. That makes two (one in NYC one in STL) dead in the past 48 hours. Old white guys seem to be particularly susceptible (maybe the Dems should nominate a younger woman whose selling point might be "I will Survive".)
i will survive ---excellent cover
Also an up close portrait of courage---an elementary school friend who is (was) a retired ICU nurse leaving two sets of twins at home to return to the ICU. The hospital is putting her up in an extended stay apartment so that she doesn't have to decontaminate daily, but she is still putting herself at risk every day to save lives and putting herself in harm's way to do it. A portrait of courage and selflessness. I pray to God she stays safe.
on a super duper light note ----if a symphony can jam with sir mix a lot then anything is possible
best vid you will watch today
