One of my wife's brothers is battling Covid-19 in a NYC hospital. JW has lived a humble life but has always been an avid sports fan, going to watch the Giants in sub freezing weather. He is one of the most genuine people I have ever known. 

Right now, it does not look good. Please say a prayer for him.

Prayers for JW, as well as others on here that know someone going through the trials and tribulations of Covid.  It appears to be rather mild for the vast majority of young people, but for those who have existing medical conditions and for the elderly (and even for the occasional healthy youngster), it can be extremely damaging, if not fatal.   Again, prayers for all.

DarterBlue2, I wish your brother-in-law a speedy recovery, and I will say a prayer for him.

Prayers for you and your family. God speed. He will be ok, I’m sure of it.

Man it really hits people differently. My grandmother is 85 and has COVID after she got it in a rehab facility after having major shoulder surgery. She is now in a hospital COVID ward. I talk to her everyday and she is laughing and joking but annoyed she even has to be there. Tough woman who just wants to go home. 2 more days. 
 

hope your wife’s brother gets better.

 Man, I’m really sorry to hear that NB. I hope she feels well soon! Sounds like a very resilient, good-natured person. My Grandmother was the same way, very strong minded and a devoted, caring person. She loved to cook, and damn if I didn’t find out first hand!

I spoke to him today. No ventilator, at least not yet. Being treated with remdesivir. Tried to cheer him up. In 70 years of life this is his first time in hospital. 

That’s good to hear. I hope he feels better soon. I had a friend lose his mom to COVID. It’s horrible and I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone. God speed. :wub:

Glad she is doing well. Yes, it does affect different people differently. I am guessing this is due to both genetics, and physical condition. That's the chief reason I took the first shot of the vaccine this week even though I have reservations about it. I just have no idea how it would affect me, and I don't want to find out. 

I hope he gets better, too. He is a humble, simple, good guy. I don't want him to die this way. Yesterday, we talked about going to watch the Razor Ruddock vs Michael Dokes fight at MSG back in the late 1980s (or was it 1990). Action packed fight which ended in very scary fashion when Dokes was knocked out cold for what seemed like, forever.

So, some guardedly good news on my brother in law. He has been transferred to a rehab facility after testing thrice negative for the virus. While sick, he did suffer a mini-stroke. Hence, the rehab. But as of today, the worst may have passed. 

When he completes the rehab, he has a standing invitation to come down to Central Florida for a month or two to complete his healing.

      New "Open Division" proposal

      By nolebull813 · Posted

      It would weed out the bad teams that are not championship material. The cream would rise to the top. So once the the teams ranked in the 400’s and 500’s were gone after the first round like they should be, it would start to get to the point only good teams are left. The last couple rounds would be the best of the best. One true state champion.    Watering down the classes and letting teams who normally would have no business winning a title advance further than they should is like letting a toddler hold a fake steering wheel and pretend he’s driving. It’s not real. And it doesn’t prepare the kids for real life. It makes them think they are better than they really are.

      Buy Azithromycin Online Treat Certain Bacterial Infections

      By Bruce Parker · Posted

      Buy Azithromycin Online is a handy antibiotic you can buy online to treat specific bacterial infections. It’s great for things like respiratory infections (think coughs and sore throats), skin infections, ear infections, and even some sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia. One cool thing about it is that you usually only need to take it for a short time, usually around five days. Just remember, it’s super important to take the full course even if you start feeling better before it’s done. This helps make sure the infection is completely gone and doesn’t come back stronger. Like with any medication, there can be side effects, like upset stomach or diarrhea, so it’s always good to talk to your doctor or pharmacist first, especially if you have any health conditions or are taking other meds. Overall, Azithromycin can be an effective and convenient option for treating bacterial infections when used correctly.

      Okay, how about that STA vs. Ida Baker matchup in your first round?  Does your analogy extend to South Florida slappies?  My opinion is simply that no one (except CoachGraham, apparently) would be interested in the 1 vs. 512, 2 vs. 511, and 200 other mismatches such a format would produce, regardless of geography.  But I could be wrong.  And now I'm thinking I should have skipped college.
