I look it like this.   We are hopefully 6 to 9 months away from a vaccine.  I think its like the 1945 armistice or the last guy to leave Saigon.  You don't want to be the unlucky soldier to get shot in the summer of 1945 or in 1973...    we are so close...  the next 6 months is when we have to be the most vigilant and careful.   Anyhow this is what I am personally doing... I see it not only as protecting myself and my family but also my civic duty to not be a danger to my fellow citizen.

His heart is strong but the lack of oxygen and the damage to his lungs has taken its toll and the doctors now have little hope of his survival. The kicker of this f’ing disease is he’s dying all alone. I just want to thank all the f’ing people, including the f’ing president who had the f’ing disease, for not taking the virus seriously enough. Trump had every opportunity to change the course of this epidemic and chose not to. To hell with him and all of the Covid deniers.
