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.


The problem with that logic is that you, personally, can do all the right things, and still be infected by some idiot who refuses to wear a mask. Most of those folks seem to think this virus isn't real.

It is. And that was the moral of my story.

I am still not convinced masks do much. You can blame anyone you want
tho.
