My father, strong as an Ox, a regular mountain hiker, no preexisting issues, contracted Covid19 14 days ago. He went to a pharmacy in a hurry, not wearing a mask and didn’t disinfect his hands either when he came out. That was his only contact with the outside world beyond getting into his car. He was admitted to one of the best private hospitals 6 days after his symptoms took hold. Being a typical stoic man of his generation, he cared for everyone but never wanted anyone to fuss over him, so he resisted calls for him to go to hospital straight away. They put him on Oxygen + some of the same drugs as Trump (so they tell me). On the second day in hospital, he went into a coma. His lungs were struggling to absorb oxygen and his O2 levels progressively dropped from his usual 98 to below 60 (often down to 20). His blood pressure dropped to 40. Ironically his entire adult life he had high blood pressure. For the last 36 years of our 4000 miles separation, I have spent every day wondering if I am getting “that” phone call - and it came yesterday. He passed away from what was effectively oxygen starvation and the subsequent brain damage. I am sad for me but happy and grateful for him - that having lived a long, healthy and rich life, he has ascended without any real suffering or pain. My dad would likely have still been here if he hadn’t been uncharacteristically careless on this single occasion - or characteristically of a strong man, resisted going to hospital in the first few days. I am told early treatment in the first few days is critical to your chances of survival. I have highly intelligent friends that in the past have said, so what if it kills a few, people get hit by a bus all the time. Fortuitously, getting hit by a bus doesn’t kill the last 25 people you came close to that day. What if one of those was their loved one? Please look after yourselves and your families and stay safe. Take nothing for granted! This is not a time to be complacent in anyway or for He-Man antics. We’re all vulnerable no matter what our state of health or age. If this story makes anyone think twice on each occasion they forget their mask or don’t disinfect their hands, then it’s purpose is fulfilled. So sorry for your loss. This thing has touched all of us, to one degree or another. Last spring a coworker where I work died suddenly from this thing. Yesterday I learned that several other coworkers have tested positive, and have been sent home. I have been sent home twice for quarantine due to contact tracing, because of my age (I’m over 60), for 2 weeks last August, and again for 3 days the first week of September. Working for a very large company (150,000 employees worldwide, about 45,000 here in Everett, WA), presents potential for infection every day. I have 10 months to retirement, and hope I can get there without getting this thing. My brother in-law has tested positive, but is asymptomatic, he is also over 60. Be well, and take all the precautions you can to avoid getting infected.

Pilgrim Posted October 30, 2020 Share #1233 Posted October 30, 2020 I assume that Biden will win, and although it will create a s**tstorm, IMO he has no option other than to enact a mandatory mask and distancing order to take effect on all federal properties and any mode of transportation which is under federal safety regulations, which I believe will include both trains and air travel. Massive federal subsidies will be required to keep businesses and transportation operating. The day after the election, Republicans will immediately discover that the deficit is unacceptable and will begin to wail and rend their garments over the same government spending which they have supported for the past 9 months. 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/63698-covid-19/?page=103#findComment-609270 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump's tariffs have been a major problem for farmers. Phone glass is not relevant to the farm situation.
