Coronavirus (Covid-19) Discussion

@Matt:

I’m even worse at those.  No one likes to hear “I told you so” at a funeral.

Followed by an "Can I get an amen!.."

They have automated hand washing stations at the airport now. I want one for my house.

@Alex Good to see you posting and hope you and Kira are on the mend.

[Alex]

Thanks, @goosehd . I would say we are back to about 80% now. Smell and taste are both still missing, but hopefully that remedies in the next few days.

[mention]Alex [/mention]  Glad to hear you’re both feeling better[emoji106]

[Matt]

I’d miss my sense of smell.  I could get down with some hearing loss though.  Especially before and after school.

[mclaincausey]

Yes @Alex that is so good to hear, unsurprising as it may be.

Sense of smell/taste is one of the things that I get hung up on, which is pretty ridiculous given what else it can do. I just love food to a fault I suppose. It is one of the things that frustrates me the most about a cold or flu that stops me up.

Between COVID, heat domes, fires, continued geopolitical strife, it feels apocalyptic out there. Hope everyone is hugging their loved ones and living their lives.

@Giles:

Just spoke to one of my closest friends.  He is a Bonefishing guide on Andros:

You may see a pic of a very unhirsuite me in the gallery 

He has Covid (which I did not know until I called him), and I have never before spoken to someone who sounded so close to death…..

FUCK, FUCK, FUCK.....

Just phoned him back.  He sounded so poorly when I last spoke to him, I said I'd call back in a week or so. The phone was picked up by his brother, Phillip died 2 days after I spoke to him…..

The consolation, I did speak to him, and he sent all his love to Paula, that was about all he said other than that he had Covid

[SKT]

Damnit [mention]Giles [/mention] I’m so sorry to hear this news. I’m glad you got to speak with him before he passed. Covid is such a monster.

[Giles]

Yeah, this one hit me hard.  He was a big strong Bahamian, his smile could light up the darkest recesses.

Stalking bonefish in a skinny mangrove backwater opening (I christened the spot Bono, because The Edge was just around the corner  ), Phillip suddenly freezes and points, and then came out with one of his more memorable quotes…...  "Fuck me to tears, look at the size of dat Bone"...All me and my other friend could do, was piss ourselves laughing, no cast was made...

Brilliant story. I will raise a glass tomorrow evening. Losing friends is awful, sorry mate.

Beautiful memory (sure it is not the only one) to remember him by.

Sending you my deepest condolences, Mr.G.
