Coronavirus COVID-19 Pandemic

For what it might count, I'm sorry for you.

 

It counts

 

I know. It still feels like I failed. He had a bad UTI due to a catheter and tested negative three times while in there and then a couple of days ago he tested positive.

I'm pretty sure he caught it at the hospital

 

You have my sympathies, for what little they're worth.

 

It's worth plenty.

 

You have expressed and executed filial piety better than some people I know in that exact situation where your father is in .

You have done well and a better son compared to them.

 

I'm sorry to hear that. We are here for you.

 

So number of new cases in Finland is growing. I would like to say I am surprised but... the train I take to work is as full as before. How are we supposed to social distance in these conditions?

 

As of 7pm CST my father is yet another death caused by COVID-19

 

... damnit. I'm sorry to hear that.

 

Thank you.

 

Hard to think of what to say to that, just a shitty situation all round. Hold strong.

 

Thank you. I really do appreciate it.

 

hugs?

My condolences for you and your family

 

The part that was... aggravating, was that he seemed to be improving right until he suddenly wasn't.

 

Ah man, that sucks. I'm so sorry.

Sounds a bit like the lungs were starting to recover, but then the viral blood-clots and prolonged oxygen deprivation went on to wreck a bunch of other organs.

It's a cruel disease.

I'm so sorry.

 

COVID does, unfortunately, do that. The disease has almost distinct stages, and whether you go on to the next (and more serious) one is almost a roll of the dice.

Fucking cytokine storms...

 

COVID-19 also causes really abnormal clotting as well as some research suggesting it causing changes in the permeability of blood vessel walls, triggering strokes and all sorts of organ damage from blood-clots flying around.

 

My condolences. Have a hug.

 

I’ve referenced that before. I haven’t, however, seen evidence that the clotting phenomenon is related to the tendency of the illness to occur in almost-discrete stages.

 

I remember stages from NY/Italy, was a ?14? Day timeline with demarkations for recovery/worsening condition.

I remember seeing it when BoJo got covid some time ago, haven't seen it recently but I haven't been looking for it. He hadn't made a recovery by day 7 or so which didn't have good associations.

 

For what's worth it, you have my condolesces.

 

Condolences. Take time to grieve and care for yourself after the upcoming rush.

 

Condolences good sir.

And I'm getting concerned on how the Philippines has now 130,000 cases and still increasing.

 

I'm truly sorry to hear that. My condolences.

 

So I need to get properly tested so that I can safely interact with my brother and sister when they get here on Tuesday. My sister doesn't want to take the chance of bringing the covid to her kids since her youngest has impaired lungs. Which means a 2 and a half hour drive to get a test with a fast turnaround time. I'm gonna do the drive here in a few hours so I can get the test in the morning

EDIT: gotta give my brother in law props for this though, I'm here losing my damn mind and he reached out from Tampa to Dothan fuckin' Alabama to find a place that is actually reserving a test for me and will do the lab work on site with a 24 hour turnaround.

My brother in law gets shit done.

 

You have my condolences.

I've had similar things happen before in my own family and it always hits particularly hard when an illness up and does shit like this.

 

MadGreenSon for what its worth, I'm really sorry. Take time to grieve. I don't know what else to say that won't sound like the insensitive prick I am but take care of yourself and your family. And let the memories of your father be the reason to remind yourself how much there is still left to enjoy in life alongside your friends and your family.
