N-OS,
The pandemic hit home for me as I saw on the news what was happening in hospitals just a couple of miles from home.
Today was an especially difficult day for me because I found out a doctor on the front lines - someone I grew up with and knew from elementary school through high school - caught the virus. It hit him incredibly hard and he was hospitalized, on a ventilator and in an induced coma for two weeks. Fortunately, he recovered and is now resting at home with his family.
It's horrific enough when you hear about strangers catching the virus and getting incredibly ill or dying from it and seeing the footage at the hospital. Then you find out someone you know caught the virus and nearly died from it. That ups the nightmare that is the pandemic another notch or three.
