[quote=Anonymous]I have a son who is a Type 1 Diabetic. He works 10hrs/day, 5 days/wk, and then does side jobs on the weekends. Working Line Clearance. Helps keep the power on. Spends all day every day climbing trees and cutting limbs off power lines. The chances of his dying while at work from some type of accident are MUCH higher than the chances of him dying from complications due to covid. He was shocked at work less than two months ago. Job hazard. Didn't kill him, so it's all good. I raised him to be tough, and to not use his diagnosis as an excuse. I expected the same from him as I did from my healthy children. He has gone into DKA twice, almost died both times. Of course he's going to die at some point. When he does, his kids will be without a father. Is that a reason for him to hide in his home? No, it is not. He spends his free time teaching his kids how to do tree work. They are younger than kindergarten age and they know how to clean up a job site, know how to drag brush, they know that his job is dangerous, and if one day he doesn't come home from work, they will be proud that their dad died doing what he loved. 
My suggestion to all of you who are afraid to die is that you stay home and distance yourselves, while those of us who aren't afraid go out and continue to live our lives. Because death is inevitable. [/quote]
