COVID... in the family
 

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 have a SIL that had it and a nephew that has it,Â* but the they are
both hundreds of miles away.

We do have a policeman friend that was in the hospital with it, but he
is out and on the mend.

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

Good news. So far none in my family have caught it, and I don't know anyone who
has. Lucky, I suppose. When my daughter came back from Disney World I told her
we wouldn't be in contact for two weeks. That will be up next Tuesday. Can't
wait to see the kids!

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.

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

My nephew has it. Says it was pretty bad would not wish it on anyone. He's in his 30's.

NBC-2 here is leading the charge about masks, they are mask bigots and
still 2 of their anchors came down with it.
This is a virus about 0.1 micron in size and your mask would be lucky
to stop 5% of 0.3 micron particles The size used to rate masks.
