I'm not here to argue points.

I stopped in to provide real world data from direct experience. You all are clearly entitled to discuss numbers, tracing, whatever as you see fit. I'm just not interested as I deal with this regularly.

Enjoy your discussion gentlemen.

2ata, I appreciate your input and more importantly I appreciate your efforts on the front lines.

Went to call a prospective customer today that I haven't spoke to in a couple of years, doing a lot of sales work via telephone for obvious reasons. Called and spoke to his boss who I also have known for several years, found out my original contact died last spring. I knew him (deceased guy) for a couple of decades and he was never a picture of health, a year back his diabetes caught up with him and he had to retire due to health reasons last fall. Poor guy lost a leg, then they cut off again above the knee a few months later, followed that up with a quadruple heart bypass early 2020. Shortly afterwards he had a stroke and somewhat recovered and a month later was put in a nursing home for recovery, pneumonia struck and he died a few days later at the age of 52, official cause of death was listed as Covid, mentioned in the obituary, I read it this afternoon on the online local paper. Glean from that what you want, imo the stats are complete BS.

Yes, but that's not the time he said he wants to catch it. In a thread that I believe is now deleted, he said that he wants to catch it because he wants to beat something that kills others. Or to that effect. I remember that specific post. And you'll note that in this very thread he did not disagree with my quote of his.

It's not a big deal. I'm just a stickler for accuracy.
