Sorry to hear about your loss Mark TKO.

My nephew in his late 20's was hospitalised in autumn and he never had any vaccine as he thought he did not need the vaccine. He needed help with his breathing.

My wife had it earlier this month but none of us did and we went for PCR tests regularly. She is clear now. Sister and brother in law picked it a week or two ago and they have isolated.

This variant is far more contagious, and I know more people than ever that have had it.
