Second cousin...age 53.
Guy I used to work out with...age 63.
Guy I went to high school with...age 63.

(12,182 posts)I'm so sorry you are going through this terrible time, and I hope you are not too, too gutted by it. Please don't dwell on your chances, because there is no reason to think that you are in any more danger than anyone else.
I hope health returns to everyone very soon, and happiness quickly visits your doorstep.

(17,192 posts)The losses have been hard. Im sorry its affecting you. So many people - gone.
We must continue to be vigilant about masking, distancing, and hand washing. I live in Texas and the recent ice storm felt like it took the attention off of COViD. Ive had to remind myself that we are still in a pandemic and that we must continue to do the masking, etc. WITHOUT fail.
Sending hugs.

(22,869 posts)In the last year, especially, I lost a lot of people I've known since I was a teenager, and some I knew since they were babies. Relatives, friends, the people in the towns I've lived in, or organizations I served. Even without Covid-19 claiming lives, there would be a toll. I hope they all rest easy.
