So, after 2 years, and all that has gone on, I finally know someone directly who had passed from Covid.
Didn't know him well, a coworker, and a very nice man. Leaves behind a wife and a college aged daughter.
Over the last 2 years, I have known many people who have gotten sick, some severely but majority, a few days to a few weeks of feeling like crap and back to normal... Some have been hospitalized with severe cases, but all have recovered, though some have been facing very very long recoveries and are still not 100%.
I have before this, indirectly known of people who have passed, none directly, friends of friends, coworkers of friends, etc.
This is the very first person I know, that I can personally say I know this man, and he died of Covid.
I knew it was just a matter of time, before someone I knew would perish from this... law of averages and all. I fully expected it to happen long before now, honestly.
Anyway, this isn't meant to be a political post, just felt like sharing.
Yeah, “p*ss-poor” posts, that are clearly vanity related, seem to be going around ...
Me too - today! 1st person I know died today.
A strong Christian - he is with the Lord. Rejoice.
“Many recorded covid deaths are “with covid” but with other serious illnesses.”
They might not have died of those ‘chronic” nor “other serious illnesses” had not covid kicked them in their butts, too!
These are the interesting threads.
There is contrast with other threads, where no one has died and it’s all lies and a DNC/govt plot and conspiracy that somehow extends around the world and no one in Russia has died, either.
But when a freeper offers up personal experience, it gets interesting.
I know personally of 2 deaths. Both over 90. Comorbidities? Pretty much everyone over 65 has a comorbidity. The only comorbidity that matters is . . . over 65. No point in delineating further.
One of the two was sis in law’s mother, age 90, vaxed, tested positive during the Delta months. I’m told her passing was ugly. Relentless weeks of fighting and lowering blood oxygen levels.
The other was a few weeks ago. Good friend of decades. Age 91. Retired anesthesiologist. Fully vaxed, Pfizer. Vax about 3 months old. No signif side effects for him. Covid arrived and killed him in less than a week. He had prostate cancer. Cancer is, of course, the ultimate comorbidity, but he had his for 20 years, watchful waiting, stable PSA. Cancer had nothing to do with his death, but the comorbidity worshippers on FR will persuade themselves otherwise.
I was surprised it got him. He was mobile, a bit cavalier about avoiding people, but fully vaxed and still went to the gym now and then. But when it arrived he was gone in just days. Not much a vax can do about 91.
Not much anything can do post 65. If you get it post 65, you face the odds. Period.
college age daughter left behind... puts him married for atleast 2o years... perhaps around 60 years of age... most likely obese... under stress that he’s paying for a women’s study degree for his daughter who is dating a metro sexual... so a bunch of comorbidities there.
Perfectly healthy, no other issues. Not here to debate what makes someone more likely to die from Covid or not, it isn’t relevant to me in this context.
Same here.
Unvaxxed, otherwise healthy father of two. In his 40s.
Intubated for months and passed after multiple organ failures.
Forgive me for not trusting the good faith of our medical professionals.
If your lungs get heavily involved it is a tough row to hoe
I’m sorry for your loss. I only know one man who passed a few months ago, in his 70s. I don’t know if he was vaxxed or not. He started going to our Orthodox church because we didn’t adulterate our practice (as it should be if we truly believe in the Faith).
From what our priest tells us, he was tortured in the hospital prior to death. They didn’t even allow last rites or the Sacraments (Confession/Communion). We pray for him and with him as if he were a martyr. He is a good man.

Interesting. Was listening to a call in show that had one of the Phiser people on. Asked directly if he would get the “vaccine” he said, depends on ones age. Over 65 the odds are in your favor to get it. Under 65 and with medical problems I say the odds are the same and would get the vaccine. Under 65 and good health, the odds are not in your favor if you get it due to the side issues.
That sounds like a well thought out perspective.
Immune systems weaken with age. So help it out. Younger than 65 with something serious wrong, might need that extra help, too. Younger than that no problems? People at CDC are just trying to reduce mutation odds. I got no doubt they fear progressively worsening mutations and every obstacle they can throw at it, they throw.
Sort of silly given Africa.
I’m sorry for the loss of your friend.
Me too.
“This is the result of us turning away from God”
Yup!
The people who died that I knew ended up glass lung. They indeed got the first round of CoVid
Your snarkiness doesn’t wear well
“Most of the people who died of COVID probably died of something else because the PCR tests are useless having been proven to be highly inaccurate”
Our contractor friend age 55 has covid lung. He will be on oxygen rest of his life. He has never smoked. He just has enough energy to walk out to his truck. His wife just sold their pontoon boat on FB marketplace to raise living expenses. Now their camper is for sale.
My 59 year old classmate died of Covid Christmas Eve. His son passed of covid 2 days later Sunday morning.
Yeah it just a common flu /s
Before you start insulting people why don’t you do some research yourself and make sure you are correct in your assertions? And by research I mean prior posts and opinions to get the whole picture of where certain freepers stand on the issue/discussion at hand rather that painting with a pretty broad brush.
