Bro is hopefully okay. He had brief contact with a friend 4 days ago who is taking a test today as he came down with symptoms after the contact but both were wearing masks and it was brief. Bro is 45 and has bad lungs, anyway (double pneumonia at 6 months, smoked for 1/2 his life), so COVID would not be good.

Maybe the briefness (is that a word?) of the exposure and that they were both wearing masks protected him.

The bad news on that is that a childhood friend who lives in Lake Charles has been having the 2020 to end all 2020s. Both her parents passed this year after battles with early-ish dementia, then she had to deal with that devastating Hurricane Laura. Her house made out alright with minor roof damage but her area is still in ruins and she only got power back fairly recently and had to spend the hottest part of the summer without AC and with her three, young late-life children. I mean, we're 47. I couldn't deal with toddlers, even if I were 27. Anyway, now she has Hurricane Delta knocking on her door.

In a typical year, some of the hurricanes go through Florida or along the coast of the Carolinas. This year they're all going through the Gulf and taking aim at Louisiana. I hope at least this one doesn't end up going directly through the areas that were hit hardest by Laura.
