The people down-voting this comment should be ashamed of themselves.
They don’t have one drop of empathy.

I might have missed it but I have not heard covid mentioned at all in this series.
The virus began with a fungus. The pandemic is a scary thing. I’m sure millions of people have new lifestyles now that include not being able to leave their homes except for when absolutely necessary, which includes me.
And I’m never without a mask.

That being said, so far, this is a beautiful story with many moments that break your heart. At least we can still feel something.

Ah. Way it was described was a fungus, yes, that was mutated from covid, or at least the people that I know that were talking about it. Could well be that they were mistaken in that. Some of them are known for talking a bit as they watch, so could be they missed something, or maybe read that into it?

I myself never bothered with a mask or ever changed anything I did any more then I actually had to, I always figured that when my time came, it would come, and not until then. Nothing can stop it when it does. I do feel bad for all of the people that were separated from family and friends and such when they got sick and were in the hospital though, and weren’t allowed to see them or spend time with them, even or especially at the end.

I always thought that that was very cruel and unnecessary. I have since then lost all respect for the medical profession, as it seems to me they have no empathy at all for the patients in their care or their families.
