Buddy of mine died of covid the other day. Not a close friend, but an old friend, and a guy I liked and respected. Early fifties, no known underlying health conditions, but of course unvaccinated. He wasn't particularly republican or anything, just a macho dude who I guess thought it wasn't a big deal or something...really don't know. Besides sadness you sort of feel anger, because it's just so avoidable. My wife was a lot closer with him than I was, so she's going to the funeral tomorrow. The invite asked that everyone please wear a mask at all times independent of vaccination status. Really tough way to learn a lesson.
