Update on my ex-friend who has the virus.

Her husband called this morning about an hour ago.

Had to call 911.

Ex- friend could not breath.

The paramedics came, and put her on oxygen.

Maybe she has pneumonia from the virus.

They took her to three hospitals before they found one open.


She sounded bad yesterday.

Stay safe guys.

I am remembering the past.

Looking at some old pictures.

Good days.

Her husband is a mess.

I told him to call me when he needs to talk.

He is a good guy.

I wish I could say I'm sorry about your friend/ex-friend, but my compassion for these Cov-idiots has waned to negligible. I hope she hasn't made anyone else sick.
Are you in the Houston area?

The paramedics for starters.

Then the hospital folks.

And her husband.

One little second shot is all she needed.

Ex-friend is in ICU now.

Not looking so good.

Her husband said she was not great with mask wearing.

I am not surprised.

A huge place.

She was very ill, the hospital needed to have a ICU bed open.

Not breathing.

A single mRNA shot doesn’t cut it against the DeSantis variant.

I don’t give a stinkfuck about the willfully unvaxxed adult covidiots. Put them in tents and parking garages with bare essentials, for all I care.

The kids below 12 and the ones 12-17, whose parents block them from being vaccinated are the ones I am concerned about.

I have a nephew below 12 I am worried to death about.

No messing around.

The way I feel now is give the stupid fools a blanket on the ground and some bottled water.

Maybe a tent.
