He has daughters. I think they’re doing the best they can. ---

This sucks. I’d been hoping he would get out of that place before he got sick. When he recovers, I hope they don’t send him back. ---

He’s had a rough couple of years and now this - hope the guy catches a break and gets over this, gets past his other problems, and gets to go home and enjoy life. ---

Thanks for letting us know, Beckster. Are you able to get in touch with him directly? How’s his breathing? Gotta breathe, yanno. > [@nightshadea](#): > > doesn’t he have a family ? if so I’m surprised they let him stay in the dump he was in … That was unnecessary. ---

> [@cochrane](#): > > This sucks. I’d been hoping he would get out of that place before he got sick. When he recovers, I hope they don’t send him back. Best wishes to Dropzone. My mother was in a skilled nursing facility recovering from a broken hip when this started. I got her out on March 13th. I was not allowed in the building to help with stuff. They packed her up and brought stuff to my car. So they knew this was a problem and did it right. When I visited her on the previous week, I had my temp checked and had to fill out forms about possible symptoms. I then emailed work that we MUST have a work at home policy drafted ASAP. Have not been back to work since. ---

He doesn’t have his phone or devices where he’s at. So I havn’t spoken to him yet. His eldest daughter has promised to keep me informed. No word from her yet this morning. As soon as I hear I will post. ---

I just recieved an email. Mikey has been put in the COVID unit. Resting comfortably. His breathing is okay, so far. His daughter is working on getting his phone and laptop to him. I’m feeling like this is guarded good news. ---
