I have a friend who has 8 people circling the drain, including a family member in the memory unit now for four years. She survived delta, now has omicron, and what should one wish for?

My friend thinks a couple of them will last five years. I am not so sanguine.

They want to go. Some are very very conservative white males who do not want to be here as things shift. They do not want to look in the mirror of their discrimination. So they are dying instead.

Dying to not face it.
