I've had the first person I know taken by the pandemic. Someone I knew at church, to speak with but not well; in normal times if he'd stopped showing up at services I'd've noticed. About my age plus or minus, fellow usher, one of the group I zoom with on Sunday afternoons, a tireless volunteer at church and at the missions downtown, also named Paul. Got tested about two weeks ago because he learned he'd been exposed, tested positive and self-isolated. As of a week ago he was non-symptomatic but in the hospital because his oxygen percentage was only in the eighties. This afternoon in my email inbox was the announcement from another church friend that he's gone. Dunno how I feel about this yet.
