Side note ... Does anyone here know a person that has caught the Kung Flu?  I don't think I know a person that knows a person.

I have a friend in NYC whose mother died from the virus - she was 72 and had no underlying conditions.
 I have a friend in South FL who has lost both of her parents to the virus. (mid seventies, both) 
  And I have a relative working in a local (Jacksonville) hospital who updates me of how many positive cases (admitted) they have each week.  They have 3 right now and have quarantined 4 employees who have tested positive. That hospital has seen a half dozen deaths from the virus - one of whom was a work colleague of several of my friends.

I have to admit, I have became a bit nonchalant about it since having zero up close (or even distant) victims that I know. I don't know if that is because of the level of protective measures, or just dumb luck. I really hope the rumors that it is weakening as it mutates through each new level of infection is true. Like each new victim receives a lesser strength, as the previous host immune system did weaken the strain just a little bit. That last statement is the very short version of my readings, so I can't just point to one article, or link.

Had you told me in December we would close the country down, and everyone would be wearing mask ... Oh and the Olympics would be canceled, AND Biden will be the next POTUS, I would think you were on drugs. Like me.

Pretty much breaks my heart how this year has been. My older sister (with health issues) hasn't been off her small property in months. She is scared to death, and it causes her more stress than it probably should. She doesn't do stress well.

A very good friend of mine had to bury his mom, and had to do so without a funeral.  She was older and sick with other stuff, but that didn't really help make him feel any better.  Their last conversations had to be by skype through a ventilator.  And of course, famous Jag Tony Boselli caught it and had a hell of a time with it.

By the way, we had to put out an APB on you a few years back when you disappeared for a bit.  I'm sure Snowy/Wolfie appreciates your concern.  Always great to see both of you posting.

That is horrible, I feel really bad for your friend. I have been pretty lucky, but I do recognize that so many others have not been. 2020 has been a horrible year for so many, a year we will never forget, and we are only halfway through. Even though Covid-19 is probably the biggest story of 2020, it is closely rivaled by the George Floyd murder.

Always good to hear from you Any2112 ... I'm not sure why you like me, but we could be really great friends if you divorce the Jaguars, and Marry the Colts.

He is, I could never not appreciate a guy with his loyalty. Rivals any other hard core Jaguars fan. The Jaguars are lucky to have his enthusiastic fandom. Need more like him.
