OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

Just found out my 96 y/o grandpa has tested positive for covid19. He suffered a stroke last month. He has been in a rehab for about a week after being in the hospital for about two weeks before that.

He is one of the few remaining world war 2 veterans. Last year he punctured his lung. Two years ago he broke his hip. I know he can get through this but man oh man

 

Sorry to hear that... hoping he gets well SOON!

 

The greatest generation. Pray he pulls through.

 

Best to your intrepid grandfather, @ehizzy3

 

Just got word that my boy who does my job for the Grizzlies its now in ICU on a ventilator...... This shit is so real bro. My age, married with two kids......SIGH........ This after one of my best friend's dad just died last week. I can't believe that THIS is the way they went out.

 

Sorry to heat about it for anyone that is facing this. This shit is real and it is such a shame - because a lot of it could have been prevented. Stay vigilant.

 

Sorry, HCP. I'm starting to hear of more and more people I know who are sick with this virus. Only one so far got sick enough to require hospitalization. He's doing better now, but it was touch and go for a while. With this new more contagious variant getting a toehold around the country, I'm afraid it's about to get real bad before it gets better.

 

Damn... sorry to hear this! Take care of yourself, Brotha!

Oregon reports 1,755 new coronavirus cases, new model released

 

Good news from my college friend, he tested negative and his two housemates after three weeks were retested and are negative. They are out of quarantine. But enjoyed cookies anyway.

 

Sorry dude. Hope he pulls through.

 

Just do a national lockdown! Ground all planes.

Keep people in their homes. Use the military to make force the issue.

 

A lockdown is something Biden promised he would not do.

 

That was before he got control of the house and senate.

Unlimited power!

 

Hope he does. I got people dying all around me bro. Whatever we've been doing isn't working.

 

I live in LA. We are worse than anywhere.

 

I literally have friends dying bro. 1 last week and one is on a ventilator right now. They need to flip the script on what we've been doing. It ain't working.

 

Shit i have 50 family members in LA, you don't have to tell me how bad it is down there.

 

I have friends dying too and my friends and fiancee are on the front lines.

And we have been more restricted here in LA than most places in the US. Haven't had indoor dining since March. Barely have had outdoor dining until they banned it last month. Activities restricted. Mask mandates.

Its bad out here, I won't even go to Costco or Target right now.
