From white plains viber group:
Good morning neighbors! Thanks Toti for the reminder.
I was moved to share you this story.
Even staying at home can have its dangers and hazards if the people around us are careless and irresponsible. And we are not vigilant.
A friend just succumbed to CoVid. He was immuno compromised. Diabetic and with emphysema. 73 yo. He stayed at home all this time of CoVid19.
They had a family driver who goes home to his family every week. He commutes and has 2 days off. He never took our friend for a ride, however he would be called upon to help inside the house. Unknown to the house owners, he was asymtomatic, positive and carried the virus. Our friend contracted it. He was rushed to the hospital on Wednesday for difficulty of breathing. His oxygen tank didn’t help at all. Intubated and into ICU, he didn’t see the light of day. He passed away yesterday. He knew it was coming to an end and we were told that while in the ambulance, he begged that he be spared from dying and he was not ready. He was an active businessman in spite of his health condition. He was comfortable inside his home, however the people who came in and out can be carriers of our silent and invisible enemy. Let us avoid the repeat of this story.
Stay Safe. Draw some house rules for our staff and family. Physical distancing. Washing of hands. Handle days off and set rules.
