Ex Lurker

My wife's Trumper brother has covid [View all]

Unvaxxed of course. Not doing great at the moment. He lives alone, has asthma and some other health issues. He found some doctor to prescribe Ivermectin. Their relationship would be problematic even without the politics, but he's her only nearby family and she still worries about him. She went to his house yesterday and dropped off some groceries and supplies at his door. Sigh.
