I do have a friend in a nursing home who’s recently been diagnosed with COVID. He has a terminal condition, but this virus may get him first.

these are our elderly who are so susceptible to this horrible virus. They are human beings they deserve better no matter what health matters they have.

This horrible regime we have must pay dearly they need to feel the wrath of punishment that they so deserve.
