So again, I'll restate it. This guy had underlying health issues. Severe enough that he was on dialysis. But yeah, covid was the real problem here
Sorry about your grandma, but that doesn't make you an expert on that (my pops has it and suffers from neuropathy so bad he didn't realize he burned the skin off his feet by standing in my driveway with socks on helping me build a backyard playground). He could have lived longer but yes Covid did him in. [Reply]

Grandma had a good life, she made it to 80. She ended up losing part of her leg and had other issues. The end was rough, but it is what it is. Not my point though. I know it doesn't make me an expert, but it also doesn't mean I'm totally clueless either.
If the man was far enough down that he was getting dialysis weekly, his system was weak as hell already. His kidneys were obviously toast, and if he wasn't a candidate for a new kidney, what was his realistic outlook? If it wasn't covid, it was going to be something. [Reply]

I would prefer to be dead in that case yes. [Reply]
