Our good friend’s brother is 40, a broadway performer that many of you probably know of. He’s healthy as it gets, and he’s laying in a Manhattan hospital right now waiting for a ventilator that the nurses have told him and his wife he’s unlikely to see.
Stay safe out there everyone. Hope you’re all well.
