Tequila sorry to hear of your friend's passing. It saddens us that so so many folks just don't get how serious this is until they either contract it themselves and are desperately ill with it, or lose a loved one close to them.
Even here in Alberta we have been seeing our numbers rising the past couple of weeks due to the complacency now in regards to this.
Yes, I can appreciate how sick to the back teeth of this virus so many folks are but if we'd just ALL do our part on social distancing, sanitizing, masking when appropriate we'd all benefit in the big picture.
Death is one thing, but what grieves us the most is the ongoing and who knows for how long, side effects that many that have contracted it and somewhat recovered are going to endure. None of us know how to truly win at this COVID-19 game, but we can ALL heed some common sense medical advice at least and try to comply.
Warm thoughts of comfort to his family.
