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. |
