Update on Ex (COVID).

Op, I read your thread. Very sorry for your loss.

[Anonymous]

Oh OP. I am so sorry.

OP: Will this affect your child support / alimony? So sorry for your son's loss.

[Anonymous]

I'm so sorry, OP. This is truly horrible.

JFC. Good thing we have you to focus on the important stuff.

Dead men can't pay alimony. Or child support.

Ah, you remind me of the neighbor who walked up to me at my kid’s bus stop the first day we went back after DH passed. She did not offer condolences before asking « how much life insurance did your husband have? »

If she has not remarried she should be able to draw on her exes social security income.

But they do get social security benefits and potential pension payouts. OP, in addition to grieving and taking of your son, make sure you get a copy of the death certificate so you can file a claim on his behalf. I know it sounds harsh, but you need to be mindful of your son’s needs over time. (Not a ghoul, but from a family of accountants. We've been taught what we need to do when a close family member dies - we would also want it to be done if we died)

Unless you've experienced the death of a parent or spouse, you have no idea how many practicalities are called for almost instantly. Get multiple copies of the death certificate, you'll need them. Deepest condolences, OP.

It was probably a cytokine storm. This is what we fear most, because we don’t know why some patients react that way. It doesn’t appear to be related to their underlying conditions. We think it may be due to a particular genetic make-up, associated with an ACE-2 mutation. Some doctors are keeping a close eye on IL6 levels because they’ve noticed a correlation, and that way they identify patients who are mire at risk, but once decompensation starts, there’s not much to hope for...

How do we know we’re at risk?

This is not a thread to think about yourself.
Offer your condolences and move on.

You are incredibly rude and controlling. It is perfectly normal for someone to follow up with that question in response to the post on the ACE-2 mutation.

OP, I am so very sorry. How awful.

You're not in charge.


OP I'm sorry / shocked to hear this. I remember your thread.

OP's Ex husband was remarried. See page 3 of original thread. See the post from April 8 @ 16:34.

That is irrelevant to the SS benefits for the child or any survivorship benefits for pensions or insurance. The child is entitled to those if they exist.
