He was sort of almost like a joke in our group of friends did you wear masks know. Did you hang out with your friends as normal. So all the things youre told. You should back off of we did there. We did we did and we still there the price for yeah from Lake Havasu City on arizonas border with california the patersons didnt give the virus much thought even once developing symptoms in late june, we just kind of carried on went to the pool, good stuff. You know where the rest the weekend. And then not monday morning is when we both woke up and were just felt like a train had gone. Were both of us said michael got sick debbie had to be hospitalized put on oxygen but did not need a ventilator over a month later. How are you now. Well obviously so short of breath.

Not lower when the president comes out and says wear a mask do you think hes just playing politics unfortunately i do at that point think that hes playing politics because originally he did come out calling this entire thing a hoax. For the patersons the coronavirus is no hoax and speaking out is not a political act because its a friendly warning. Its ridiculous not to take this seriously i mean. I could die just like the next person, i mean any anybody can it could have been either one of us are both of us.
