Something tragic happened today.

I've struggled with whether to share this because I might come off as blaming someone who just died; that is *not* my intention.

But the story does contain an urgent warning to those who think they're immune to CoViD’s ravages.

So here it goes.
Three days ago, a 28-year old employee of the International Monetary Fund suggested that the cost social distancing is exacting "on the economy" might be more important than "the human aspect of the disease."

Today, he succumbed to CoViD-19.
I'm not sharing his name or FB post. And I don't want anyone to sit in judgment of a young man who made a mistake shared by plenty of people with a lot more power and authority.

But *please* stop thinking you are immune to corona. None of us know whom this virus might kill next.
