    This has been a horrible month. My best friend’s wife just called to tell me that my friend had to be hospitalized due to severe coronavirus complications. He has severe pneumonia, is put on a ventilator and is in a coma . IF he gets better they expect it to be many weeks that he will be in this condition.

    Meanwhile, his wife also was diagnosed with coronavirus and cannot leave her home.

    What a terrible situation! And the kicker is they have been isolating themselves in their home for the past month except for occasional food shopping.

    So sorry your friends are affected, Min. He is an exElder. Is he still a believer or is he MO? (just curious) In any case, I hope he recovers and his wife has a mild case. Where are they located?

    Stay safe!

    Do you think it's his age that's the reason he's having a hard time? What is he - 60ish? I'm curious like 3rdgen; are they PIMI?

    That is heart breaking news Minimus. And extra awful that they have been isolating and still got it. I'm so sorry. Words escape me

    MINIMUS:

    I am sorry about your friends and I hope they recover.

    Interesting what you say about how they have isolated themselves over the last month except for occasional grocery shopping. I have done the same thing but for maybe the last month I have worn a mask. Before that I did not because there was conflicting information as to whether you needed one. Maybe these people got exposed a month ago OR they weren’t as isolated as they say and maybe saw a relative or two. It’s hard to say how somebody got infected!
