For what it's worth, I just received news a good friend of mine passed away this morning from Covid 19. He got while RVing and they were being careful. His wife also go it, probably from him, but just got very ill. He was on a ventilator in hospital for 2 weeks. He was healthy and active. This is a wake up call for me. A winter at home beats eternity 6 ft under. This disease is not one to be blase about, it is not a hoax, it is not less dangerous than flu. Think long and hard before you decide to play Russian Roulette by heading for the sun this winter before there is a vaccine.

My wife is an RN. Too many patients, especially lately, mentioned that they had believed that it was a hoax, and are now no longer with us. It's a horrible way to die, on a ventilator and slowly drowning in your own fluids, fighting for each breath, with no family or loved ones permitted to be there and hold your hand.Compared to that, it shouldn't be a big deal to wear a mask. That, plus a widespread, robust, coordinated national testing and tracing strategy is how every other developed country has beaten this.We're the USA, we can do this.

The southern states are the hotbed of virus activity now.

Millions of Americans are still not serious about this virus.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Another unnecessary death

I lost my sister-in-law last month, non-camping related. Her son brought it home from work and contaminated the whole family.

Sorry for your loss. Difficult for me to understand anyone thinking this is a hoax.
