Corona Virus
« on: April 17, 2021, 06:35:52 AM »
Most people I know who have had it, had not much more than cold symptoms but last week I found out that two gents who were friends caught it and died.

One was a childhood friend who had lived on a farm by my grandparents and for years when I spent a week of so at grandpa's place, we would go out in the woods and do exploring with BB guns.
The other owned a small engine power equipment place and for thirty years I would stop in four to five times a year and we would BS for two to three hours about snowmobiles, chainsaws and other things.
Just a few days before I found, out I was going to go over to his shop and check on a new snowblower.

Both had smoked and had gained a lot of weight in the past ten years, plus one was a vet. suffering the exposure to Agent Orange.
It is the  usual , I think I will go see ..., but you don't, now  you can not.
Coulda , Woulda , Shoulda.  :(

I feel for your loss Bob. I had a good buddy recently pass from acute copd. Had a heart attack. I don't think the hospital blamed covid. At least not yet anyway.
