Many in my extended family have COVID. One of my school teachers died today, one of mom's friends died last week as did one of my friends' dad.

A good acquaintance is in ICU with 80% of his lungs damaged. My closest friend from college is positive and hasn't replied in 3 days. My dad's a doctor but he's a private GP, not a lung specialist, so every weekend I ask him to at least reduce his hours. He says his patients need him. He practices in a very working class area so they don't have tons of doctors to go to anyway.
I feel both proud and terrified.
