On a sad note, our first godson, Brian, died yesterday of COVID-19, he was 42 years old. When we made our last trip to the Philippines in January of 2020 Brian was our point man finding us accommodations in my wife's province so that they would be ready when we arrived after our day long drive down from the manila area. Up until last week my wife was talking via video chat and text with Brian regularly and he was in fine health up until their last conversation 6 days ago.
Unfortunately out in the province the vaccines have been very slow to be made available
