Well Covid-19 is seriously hitting home now...

Right now, my youngest daughter now has the virus. She was on the front lines in health care (she's an RN) at our local county hospital in an ICU on the floor where the majority of local caronavirus patients are being treated (she, unfortunately, witnessed the first covid-19 death in our county in her unit). Fortunately, age and statistics are on her side (she's 27) and her symptoms so far are mild and obviously is in quarantine with her husband now. We can dream about future vacations and be disappointed in cancellations but folks, this is some serious sh%t right now (and I can't even see my own sick kid). SO be very careful out there...

Here, her and I are enjoying a drink at White Sands a few years ago...

Sorry to hear this, Ukran1ans...Thank your beautiful daughter for being on the front lines of this insanely, nasty virus.

Thank You...to everyone on the front lines...we know your exhausted, overwhelmed and putting yourselves in danger everyday...Thank You for incredibly, unselfish care!!

Please stay safe Everyone ❣️

I hope she recovers well. My hat is off to all workers in the medical field right now. You are right, this virus is very serious and scary.

Here's to a full recovery. No doubt it is a scary time. Your daughter is a hero for her service.

We haven't even begun to see the horror yet of people dying in large numbers and for a few months more at least. When the "best case" estimates are somewhere between 100,000 and 240,000 people dying in the US even up to Summer and beyond, how can anyone be thinking Jamaica will be ready for US tourists any time soon?

My personal take on the situation.

Horrible news ukran1ans. I Pray that your daughter has a swift and complete recovery.

Sorry to hear that Jer. Prayers for a quick recovery.

Your family will be in my prayers for a speedy recovery.

Sorry to hear that Jerry. Hope she recovers quickly.

Sorry to hear that. She will improve and soon you will be able to see her. This terrible virus will eventually end. Thanks to all front line health care workers at this time.

Prayers up to a quick recovery!

My wife's aunt is hospitalized in Madison with the virus, so far able to make phone calls but obviously no visitors.

Sorry my friend. Positive vibes her way.

Sorry to hear, A Big Thank you to her for her sacrifice in helping those who needed it. Wishing her and your family the best

Thank you, everyone, for your thoughts and wishes. Unfortunately, now my oldest daughter has covid-19 as well (she's a labor and delivery nurse that had to be tested after 4 12 hour shifts in 5 nights). Even though young, both my girls are fighting fevers, headaches and shortness of breath. These are very scary times.

Here's my oldest and grandson on Capt Moses boat heading out to snorkel and eat lobster on Booby cay...Attachment 54794

Wishing you and your girls the best!!!!

M&M

Prayers for your daughters and your family. I hope they are both doing better.

Beautiful family! Our thanks to all the brave health care workers out there! Get well soon!!

Well I'm happy to say that my daughters seem to be over the rough part of their infections and both are on the upswing (my youngest actually can't wait to get back to work soon). Thanks again for your well wishes!

A true hero!!! Thank you Emily

Thank you Emily! :encouragement:

Healthcare workers around the world are truly the heroes in this pandemic. How easy it would be to just say sorry but I need to stay home with my family. Thank you Emily!!

I'm sorry about your aunt, Homebrewer. Sincere condolences. Just getting over COVID myself. It was a brutal 3 weeks but so, so thankful to have survived.
