Got the confirmation from testing that my brother-in-law has COVID. He was denying that COVID was a problem, not wearing a mask, refusing to distance. He's now sick with flu-like symptoms and vomiting with a fever, but no breathing problems (yet?). He's 56.

Hoping for the best for him. It just seems that some people won't believe it until it hits them or someone close to them. Wear your mask, dammit..


The problem with that logic is they tell us the mask is to protect
others, it won't save you, particularly a do rag tied across your
mouth. If he was that sloppy, he probably got it from his hands
anyway.


He was likely hanging with others who were maskless and not keeping his
distance.


His wife works as a Safety Engineer at a nuclear power plant, and trains incoming hires. She has a bit of exposure, and we wonder if she didn't bring it home to him. He's a good guy, Navy EOD and such, but didn't believe in a mask. He is retired and is at home, but they continued to go to the physical church most of the time even when other churches were doing the virtual thing. That's the majority of his exposure.

This **** is real.
