How's everyone holding out?

I just wanted to check to make sure everyone is safe and healthy.

My neighbor works at United Airlines at SFO. He had 2 co-workers that passed from the virus.

Last time I was at work (in March) 2 co-workers (from our 15 person group) caught it. Work emailed us to keep an eye out in case we get symptoms. They both were hospitalized TWICE with really bad pneumonia. They survived. Whew.

My 2 doctor cousins are in charge of an ICU (in Singapore) and said it's so sad for the patients. The patients bodies are running a marathon but they can't breathe. After a few days their bodies give out. They said the hotspots pop up faster than they can monitor/control them. Crazy.

Stay safe and clean everyone!!

    Keep smoking. Supposedly they are seeing a correlation between tobacco users and the severity of COVID-19. It was on the Drudge report.

    Glad you avoided catching it with WFH. It is no joke! I know a friend-of-a-friends who had some scares, one diagnosed positive. Stay safe and I hope this blows over soon. I'm "non essential" so have been out of work for almost a month now.

    Glad you are OK brother, it is a scary thing. MY brother in law has it and is home recovering. My brother's brother in law passed from it. Robbie and I visited one of his daughters at West Point Academy while we were at the Quad State Herf 3 years ago, she has since graduated. Sad thing is that out of all the info they give us there is nothing telling you how to prepare, or what to do when it happens.

      Ugh. So sorry to hear about your brother in-law, Larry. Glad to hear your brother is recovering too.

      This thing is nuts. It's hitting everyone so differently. Blood clots, skin rashes, high fever and the latest I read was it can be transmitted by passing gas!! WTH! They did tests with pants on and pants off. Luckily it was with pants off.

      Hang in there, Larry! We'll get through this and herf soon.

    That’s scary Blockhead!

    Our daughter’s husband is in his residency, and has been exposed but not tested yet. Our doctors‘, nurses‘, police‘, firefighters’ & EMTs’ courage to keep going back in is just amazing!

    Stay well all!!

      Hope your son in-law is OK!!! Yes, the front line people really need props for what they are out there doing. They are taking this thing head on. Hats off to them!! I'm too chicken (read: lazy) to even go to the store.
