He swears if he was in Alabama he would have received MA treatment sooner and would have had a milder case. He is a pretty smart guy, engineering degree from MIT, etc. He was vaccinated two days before the trip, so basically not vaxxed. He surely lost 40 lbs from the ordeal.
Second guy was in Al but did not get MA treatment right away, during the 1st ER visit. He has had a very bad case and did not know if he was going to make it. Vax status is unknown (not my place to ask) but I would guess yes.
Covid is no joke, for sure, but its not like the Spanish flu 100 years ago either.
We lost one good man early this year, everyone else has pulled through. I surely know 50+ people that had it and most are 40 - 80 years old.
