Cathy so sorry for the loss of your friend. I was just getting ready to get on the forum myself to vent. I am so angry right now that I'm seeing red. Yesterday my husband and I lost our close friend to Covid. I'm so angry because his death was so unnecessary. He went into the hospital with chest pain not Covid. How does it happen? The hospital determined he needed open heart surgery so they transferred him to the hospital in the next town that specializes in it. That hospital decided he wasn't a candidate for surgery because of other underlying conditions so they sent him back to the first hospital where they gave him a stent. From there he needed to go to rehab so he was moved again. In rehab he started to have respiratory issues so they transferred him to another hospital where he was tested and found to be Covid positive. Mind you he was house bound prior and had visiting nurses so he was tested continuously always negative. So, somewhere between the 2 hospitals and rehab center he contracted Covid. So consequently my friend died alone and scared. The only good thing out of this was one outstanding nurse that would hold the phone to his ear so we could tell him we were there. I'm so over this Covid crap and the imbisils that refuse to wear masks! Sorry for the long rant I just had to get it off my chest.
