**Dropzone/Mikey** has tested positive for COVID, this time. The place where he’s been has sent him to the hospital. As he’s a good friend, I’m very worried. His daughter will keep me posted on his ordeal. I will post the info as much as I’m able. Y’all send some good vibes, please. ---

So … I thought the nursing home’s story was that he’d already had it and passed it to the Director of Nursing. None of that’s so, then? Best wishes to **dropzone**. If you’re reading this, I hope you make it through. And give 'em hell ---

He has been tested a few times. I’m not sure why. Maybe they’re testing everyone who was in near contact with the dead lady. He has asthma and other issues that will make it harder to fight the virus. I have my fingers crossed. ---
