Related: About this forumSpare some good thoughts for my husband's and my friend
He works at the Tyson plant that the county officials have asked to close. We've know our friend for 40 years, since we were in college. Wednesday night he emailed saying he'd be out of pocket since he felt lousy, very tired. His doctor told him not to go to work. He entered the hospital Friday, has taken a bad turn, has coded a couple times and been revived, and is presumptively diagnosed with COVID-19. (We are lucky to be able to hear this from his brother)
Yes Tyson is evil
Yes this really, really sucks

So best wishes to your friend and all those that work at Tyson's.

(1,763 posts)His family had him taken off life support, and his sister said he passed quietly. He had tested positive for the corona virus, he will be in the stats tomorrow.
His death just seems so senseless to me.
