A medical emergency where minutes count, and he's a dead man.  They call 911 and the local paramedics come, and then they have to call in and get an ambulance from another county that can carry him.  I pick up his prescriptions, and it's four or five every week. I don't know.  It's just sad.

35% would be high for my dad.  He usually remembers one random sentence that by itself indicates he's just fine.

If it reaches the lymphatic system it can cause lymphangitis or lymphadenitis which many times require hospitalization and IV antibiotics and can also progress to sepsis. Again, all more likely for him than coronavirus.

Though I did have vacation scheduled for next week to go visit some relatives in Pennsylvania and take my dad's ashes to spread, but we decided to postpone the trip because of everything. My sister was flying in with her daughter and it was a risk to bring that to our relatives, a lot of whom are elderly. So we aren't going, but I'm going to still take my vacation and spend it fishing.
