Our friend's brother passed away on Sunday from a bunch of complications from having covid. During the past 4 months he's been in a coma twice (induced and natural) as well as had a leg amputated and both of his lungs decimated - those same friends have lost both of their fathers over the last 3 years and it's been a really brutal few years for this family. I know it keeps getting said, but this guy also had no underlying health issues, healthy all around and it just took him out. He was in that 40yo zone that seems so prone to complicated bouts of this thing. It's crazy to see people in the states politicizing this, or comparing it to "normal death rates" - jesus... these deaths are on top of normal deaths for the most part.
It brings to mind that mindless patriotic statement "Freedom Ain't Free" you see on bumperstickers and fake military badges and how infuriating it must be to see how little work or discomfort some people are willing to do to keep their neighbours safer (however marginally).
I feel for all my friends and family in the states, but man you guys have a LOT of stupid to overcome. I hope our borders stay closed to these idiots for as long as possible.
- amen, well said and sorry to hear_niko

- erne, yes.ben_
- ben_ I was shocked when I read about it, this fucking virus manernexbcn
- Nothing to say but sorry. Fuck anybody who says "it's just the flu".garbage

- that's shit, sorry to hear.Fax_Benson
- erne, it was just one thing after another. Thanks to his friends he had access to the best healthcare as well. And that’s just one story of too many.ben_
- All of this is bad. And, I am so sorry. As a person who lost their father from cancer, something you can't catch from going into a room, I can't even imagine.shellie
- so sad!utopian
- Sorry for the loss. Hope his family was able to be with him at the endfuturefood
- This is why I kept posting peak properties youtube videos, but it was always down voted. PP gave best advice in those videos, made me super cautious of covid19shapesalad
- Unfortunately it's only now people are starting realise covid19 can be devastating, ins't just a mild flu, likely from lab, we all need to wear masks.shapesalad
- futurefood, yeah over the past couple of months family was able to visit here and there, it's been tough for Canadians to get down there though.ben_
- yea im calling bullshit.deathboy
- Why are you calling bullshit, person who is consistently the fullest of bullshit?ben_
- For the record deathboy, I would (and haven't) have any problem sharing who I am with qbn. You could fact check my life from there, but what if we all knew whoben_
- you were, would you be such a pile of shit if everyone knew your name and what a talentless sack of shit you are on top of being a consummate troll?ben_
- Why on earth would anyone make up a story like this?? And anyway it was reported in the media, the guy was a well known Broadway actor.yuekit
- the story of the reported guy seems fine. i call bullshit on connection and motives. i think using real situation to promote fear follow talkign heads vs lookdeathboy
- at truths. the existing death rate is not much higher especially considering the mid 40% were elderly in homes.deathboy
- his appeal to emotion falls on deaf ears here. thinking someone borrowed some public info for self esteem boostersdeathboy
- amongst other nuances but i trust my BS detector. its a well crafted device and has rarely ever failed. if ever. jsut the times I WANT TO BELEIVE somethingdeathboy
- Yeah, you’re so clearly in touch with reality, it’s obvious from your day to day posts you’re not suffering from some mental illness.ben_
- if all you have is your opinion vs public normal mortality rates... well you do you guydeathboy
- u live in your make up belief fear mongering shit taking public stories becuase to lazy to make shit updeathboy
- hell the idea you have to create such a story with motive to disuade people from looking at real death trends or facts 43% death are nursing home people.deathboy
- and that real infected rates by CDC pushes death rate to liek a bad inlfluenza season for seniors... shits all public. and you have no argument but insult?deathboy
- again why i think you are full of shit and a utopin/whatthefunkyb... accountdeathboy
- also for your bullshit check your wording. "our" a big giveaway. Assumption of inclusion to community. Its weird for the subject. qbn community friend? alludingdeathboy
- to someone besides youself qbn knows? Neither true from what i;ve seen. but i guess still successful for the majority. jsut not really gooddeathboy
- You are incoherent. “Our friend’s” as in my family is close with his family. Get bent you talentless fuck.ben_
