Friend exposed to the virus [View all]

I have a friend here who is a fairly new activist. He is doing a great job as a member of our Democratic Central Committee and precinct committeeman. I have some fairly detailed voter lists for him, with notes and phone numbers. I was happy to pass it off to him, because now I have to cover only two precincts instead of four.

He works with the public, and has been under strict guidelines, for everyone's safety.

One of his co-workers went to a bar to celebrate the limited reopening. He says the co-worker stayed outside, but even that has its dangers. Two people there came up positive. She interacted with both of them. Now my friend has to stay home. Fortunately, he lives alone.

We have all been happy and proud that our state has moved to Phase 4. IMO, it is too early to celebrate. I am worried for this guy. And I am madder than ever at Trump.

This is the first time I have been impacted personally by the virus. Stay safe. Be kind to your friends and family.

I know this is anecdotal, but I don't want to put this guy's personal information out here. I just wanted to share how angry and helpless I feel today.
