    Just wanted to share some sad news of a family friend of ours that lived in Greece.

    His name was Pavlos, he was 70 years old and he passed away a few days ago suffering from Coronavirus.

    He was born and raised in my Dad's village in Greece called Kozani. He was married and had grown up children that lived in the same village.

    Pavlos talked to my Mum and Dad every few days on the telephone, he was one of the family friends my parents kept in contact with their entire life.

    Pavlos said Kozani was lucky last year not to have Coronavirus hit their village with maybe only or deaths in the local villages around their area.

    Unfortunately this year has not been good for their village and surrounding areas, Coronavirus hit that area and has caused over 10 deaths since November/December last year.

    Because of this, Pavlos and his Wife have not left their house or yard since around December last year. Their children do their shopping for them and help them out with whatever they need.

    Around 2 weeks ago or so, Pavlos got a knock on the door one morning, he unlocked and opened the front door thinking it was one of his children coming to visit, but it was a 'travelling salesman' selling insurance of some sort and he was not wearing a mask.

    This was a young man in his late 20's or early 30's dressed nicely with a backpack, not wearing a mask, knocking on Pavlos's door trying to sell him insurance. Pavlos abused him for walking around without a mask on trying to sell insurance while people are dying in hospitals with Coronavirus etc etc and he slammed the door in his face while using some colourful language.

    Pavlos went outside the next morning to water the garden bed to the left of his house. His neighbour that lives on the same side of his garden bed saw Pavlos outside and came outside to chat over the fence while Pavlos was watering his garden.

    Pavlos and his neighbour (I forget his name now) have been lifelong friends and neighbours. They sit outside and chat over the fence all the time.

    Around two or three days after the salesman knocked on Pavlos front door, Pavlos developed a cough and sore throat which quickly turned into a fever. A day later, they took him to his GP in the village who quickly called an Ambulance which drove him to a hospital around an hour away.

    They tested Pavlos and diagnosed him with Coronavirus and started treatment straight away. Pavlos Wife called my Mum with the sad news that Pavlos had Coronavirus and was in hospital in bad shape.

    My Mum started to pray for Pavlos to get better soon, but just over week after Pavlos getting Coronavirus he passed away.

    And it gets worse........

    His next door neighbour that had a chat with Pavlos the next morning unfortunately must have got Coronavirus from the same insurance salesman and/or Pavlos and he ended up in a hospital bed a few days later in the same hospital as Pavlos was in.

    Pavlos passed away a few days ago and his life long next door neighbour friend is still alive but only has days to live.

    Pavlos Wife fortunately did not get Coronavirus, she is in good health and she told my Mum that she can't cry or be sad because that is not going to bring Pavlos back to life and she takes comfort in knowing that he will be up there in heaven now with my Dad and soon they will be re-united with their old friend from next door.

    Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend with your family and friends.

    Thanks for the kind words everyone, definitely very sad considering he was a healthy bloke still and possibly had many years of life left in him.

    I have a friend that I talk to in the UK via Facebook and Whatsapp, his life has been impacted by around 8 Coronavirus deaths since last year. 4 of those deaths have been his Aunties and Uncles from both sides of his family.

    To say it's ruined his family is an understatement. He rarely wants to talk anymore, he quit his job and is too scared to leave his apartment. It's all very sad and we are very lucky to live here in Australia.

    Hilarious that that idiot in QLD and her equally idiotic CHO have both refused to get the vaccine so far.

    What is wrong with you lot up there voting her back in? She really is an embarrassment.

    Yeah. She comes across as, genuinely, an idiot.
    Really, really stupid.

    I don't recall any other pollie since Old Joh whom seems to be quite so dumb (ignoring every Greens politician, of course).

    How she got into her current position really is a mystery.
