Fellas:

I didn't start this thread for it to go down this path. I was truly hoping to hear or talk about some good news and to maybe to start to see some light in all of this bleakness and sadness.

As a person who lost a best friend (49 y.o.- 3 kids) to the virus, that 3% hit me like a 100% ton of bricks.

In NJ, I can tell you this virus is wrecking families, businesses, and communities.

I think we need to put our faith in the experts and do as they say, so we can avoid those early AM phone calls telling you a loved one has died.

I am still upset by the fact that my friend died alone in the hospital while his family sat at home heart broken that their father and a husband struggled to breath.

On Monday, NJ has almost 900 deaths due to COVID. It's real enough to those 900 families.
