I just received the news that my dear friend has died of Covid

She was such a vital individual, I'm having trouble processing this devastating news. It had looked as if she was going to be able to be transferred to a rehab unit, but then she developed a gram negative pneumonia, and that was just more than she could fight.

I'm going to have a good cry and then try to get some sleep.

I know life is full of death but we all want this horrible thing conquered and it’s everywhere.

I’m sorry.

was the Gram negative bacteria Haemophilus influenzae by chance?

that is what killed a dear friend's grandmum back in April.

We seldom have enough good friends. Losing one to this horrible virus is such a blow because we'll never know if it would have happened if our response to managing this pandemic had been appropriate.

Hugs, my friend.
