A friend's mom died last night from COVID-19. She was completely healthy, no underlying issues, got it.... fought it for a month. Got on the vent, got better, got OFF the vent, and then took a turn for the worse and got back on it... and then died.
Another friend's mom just tested positive. She's 80 years old and lives in a memory care facility for Alzheimer's patients. She likely won't survive either.
I've known several people who have died from this and I'm SO VERY ANGRY at certain family members who believe it's just like a bad cold or the flu, or it isn't real and is just a media conspiracy to destroy the economy. Or local people who refuse to wear masks anywhere because apparently it infringes on their "right" to go to Hellmart to buy shit they don't need.
Honestly, if I weren't so antisocial when life is "normal" this would have made me a hermit. Now I'm a hermit by necessity since if I catch the virus I'm unlikely to survive. But apparently that doesn't matter. People think nothing of doing stupid things and then expecting to actually be around me.
