The tenant who lives in the unit directly opposite mine recently tested positive on a rapid test and is quarantining. That’s pretty much all she revealed in her email to the other tenants, so I don’t know if she is symptomatic or vaccinated, and I practically never see nor talk to her because she spends so much time studying at her college.
Nonetheless, for the next 2 - 3 weeks, I’ll be wearing an N95 mask when walking through the communal space leading to the apartment’s exit door.
My mom died of covid last night.
So Sorry puzzlegal. You and you family will be in our thoughts.
As you said “FUCK COVID”
I’m so sorry. Be well.
i’m so sorry. may her memory be eternal.
@puzzlegal, I am so sorry! That’s terrible news.
Remember her love is still with you.
How terrible @puzzlegal. My thoughts are with you and your family.
I’m very sorry, puzzlegal. My condolences to you and your family.

Damn. I’m so sorry @puzzlegal.
That made me tear up. I am so sorry. May her memory be a blessing.
Oh, crap, puzzlegal, I’m so very sorry.
Oh no! I’m so sorry.
I’m so, so sorry. My deepest condolences to you and your family. {{{hugs}}}
I’m so sorry, puzzlegal.
My dad, who has been ruining every get-together for the past two years with rantings about how it’s all a liberal hoax and easily treatable with ivermectin, is now fighting covid. He sounds pretty bad, but he would definitely rather die than go to the hospital, so I guess we’ll see.
I’m angry at him. He’s been such a dick, turning every conversation into an opportunity to talk at me and my sister (who is an ER nurse!) about all his crazy conspiracy theories. I hope he gets better, but I’m still annoyed.
That’s terrible, puzzlegal. I’m so sorry.
I’m so sorry for your loss, that’s so awful. I’m dreading that phone call myself, my mom refuses to vax or mask and I fear she thinks this is an easy way out–she’s lonely and has had enough loss in her life I think. I’ve tried to tell her this is not the way but she’s stubborn. Sigh.
Like six or more people in my extended family have had it, they claim. I don’t know if this was verified with tests or if they just assume what they had was COVID. All were mild cases.
Most of them are anti-vax idiots.
That was approximately my mom. We bullied her into getting vaccinated, and she wore a mask when it was required. But she hated masks, and she thought covid would be an easy way out.
It wasn’t. Aim for some other end.
Yeah, this is why I’m dreading the call. She lives up in the mountains a ways in California and gets snowed in/loses power a lot in winter. My sister went and dug her out a week or so back and took her down to Placerville to stay with her and her husband but I’m afraid that maybe my sister’s a vaxhole too and there’s more exposure with mom staying with them. I try not to worry but mom’s also a smoker and I’ve been fretting over the situation for like a year now. Can’t do anything about it–I even took a trip down to see her and try to get her to protect herself more but no luck. I really hate this fucking disease.
