I knew where you were going with your questioning. You weren't the first one to suggest that.
I think my sister "froze" under the pressure of trying to make a snap decision, due to pressure from the vultures.
In summer 2023, I got COVID. I forget what variant, but my lungs were rattling. I was eating and cooking anything chicken related... and sitting upright since I couldn't breathe very well. It went away after a couple weeks, Heavy thick phlegm. I certainly didn't go anywhere
Supposedly COVID symptoms. He was on and off a vent. Something didn't seem right.
He should have been sitting upright (elevated) which is easier to breathe.
They had him laying flat. I was told by somebody else, that that is a no-no.
My B-I-L was stationed in Germany during Nam. He qualified for marksmanship, and during his tour, brought his personal weapon back home.
He died recently from odd circumstances that was supposedly COVID. I don't believe it.
