20. My sympathies. This Feb.10th I lost my mother to Covid.

This wasn't due to COV idiots, she was in an assisted living facility and they were rigorous in testing , vaxxing ( she'd had one of two) and my sister was the only one still in the area and they'd have her masked, gowned, and scrubbed down down before she could see her for 30 minutes.
She went quickly, three ICU visits in three weeks. My sister couldn't even see her there. The last time they brought her back a nurse noticed her feet were blue, a sign she didn't have much longer. And she died the next day.
She was old, she was 96, but had always been in good health until her last three weeks. She had a desire to live to live to be 100, and she may have made it if Covid hadn't come along.
I do hate the general population COV idiots. For their callous, selfish, slavish devotion to The Dotard and their feelings, expressed or otherwise, that at her age she didn't have much to live for.
I've been living in Bangkok for over three years, before Covid hit and the attitude of the citizenry here couldn't be any different than in the States.

My apologies about your aunt.
