    So the info you have is sparse and you don’t know him very well.

    My ex had a coworker die from Covid supposedly early on in the game.

    I doubt most causes of death these days.

    People die all the time. I knew more young healthy people that have died in the past 40 years than I know now or will know the rest of my life.

    15 yo neighbor girl I had just been talking with after getting off the bus back in the day died later that day from a brain aneurysm.

    Today that is a Covid death

    Information isn't sparse because he and my sister and his wife are very close and have been most of their lives.
    Received the information from my sister.
    The VA said he died of COVID-19.

    An old friend of mine died last mo. Spent 4 mos, in the hospital, was on a ventilator, lost a bunch of weight. Actually came home, and thought he was going to be fine. Suddenly died, within a week. He was 65. Retired from GM Pontiac Truck plant.

    I’m located in Brevard County where we’ve had about 200 COVID deaths and around 7k confirmed infections..Your County has had about 170 deaths and 12k confirmed infections.

    Like I said, give it time. Kids going back to school, everything opening up and colder weather not far away. Trust me, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
    Perhaps a year from now one of us can revive this thread and see if anyone hasn’t been affected by it.
