That's so sad. 
My brother in law died Saturday early morning. Because of Covid-19 there will be no funeral, no memorial, no nothing. I feel bad for my sister. My BIL knew everyone and had a lot of friends. Now she is cheated of a large gathering of people showing their care and support by showing up.
She lives in Conroe, an extension of Houston. Covid-19 cases are spiking in Houston and surrounding areas and honestly, I don’t want to go down there. If we went to her house and there was no one else there, I’d do that. My poor sis.
to you and family.So sorry @baymule . Had he had any other compromising factors? I know it was hard for the family of my former fiance'... but he had some other issues too, some breathing issues, and he had gotten quite sedentary from what I was told.....

@baymule . I'm certain it is difficult for your sister and her family to be dealing with death and no acknowledgement of his life's achievements by friends. It is a sad fact of what is happening across the country. I am so very sorry for your loss. And, you can't even hug your sister. 

sad about this too @farmerjan . i hear a lot about complicating factors making it higher risk for many, but i've also heard of enough cases where they don't really know what happened and one of those cases was a friend of our family, a middle-aged apparently healthy person, caught it and then gone quickly.
