One of my grandson's has COVID.

He is in the Coast Guard and we think he contracted it from someone that had just returned from leave. He is isolated in his own apartment, has the stomach and intestinal symptoms and a cough and low grade fever. A member of the medical staff from the ship is dropping off food and meds for him.
My daughter, his mother, is an ICU nurse in Virginia. She has an almost daily view of this virus so I am also worried about her.

It is something that will touch everyone of us in one way or another whether someone we know is dealing with it, has died from it or we simply will not be able to see or hug family members just to keep them safe.

So we all need to have someplace we can express our feelings and vent our frustrations and even our rage over the fact that it never had to get this damn bad in the first place and to this day there are uncaring jackasses out there that are making it's containment impossible.

Thanks
