8:30 this morning, he fell asleep and passed away.
I was just thinking last night that he might pull through, and we could take the kids to see him at Christmas.
Damn, 2020- you just don’t know when to stop.

Sorry to hear that brother. Sending angels your way for support.
My deepest condolences, Mr. Brunch. Tragic though every bereavement is, to those left behind, drifting off to sleep, and never awakening, is as peaceful a transition as any mortal could undergo.
Separation from a loved one is always heart-wrenching, yet, a tour of duty lasting 95 years, is admirable by any yardstick. May the soul of the departed, rest in peace.

Comfortably numb!
Wow! My deepest most sincere condolence during your time of need. May he RIP 
Thank you everyone for your kind words... it means a lot.
I know he was old, but he had no ‘underlying health conditions’ , he shouldn’t have even been in the care home as he needed no care- he was paying them extra so he could stay and help look after his wife.
Unfortunately he passed on his own, but he insisted no visitors could come in case he infected them too.
I strive to be even half the gentleman he was

Thank you guys again.
Sometimes I don’t know what I’d do without this community- there are a bunch of absolute diamonds here.
Please be Sensible, or at least careful everyone- at least until there’s a vaccine around-
This shit is very real, and seemingly randomly selective about who it kills.

Corona mutation in Denmark risks 'another pandemic'
A mutation of the coronavirus has developed in Denmark through mink, which also spreads to humans. Experts are concerned, all minks are being culled.
“In the darkest scenario, there is a new pandemic, this time with Denmark as the starting point,” Kåre Mølbak warned on Wednesday. He is director of the SSI, the institute for preparedness against infectious diseases. P remier Mette Frederiksen preceded him: “With the mutation of the coronavirus that we are now seeing in North Jutland, we risk that the effectiveness of the upcoming vaccine will be weakened. Or in the worst case, completely absent. ”
It's all about the mink. Variations of the coronavirus have been found in 216 Danish mink farms, while a mink variant of the corona virus has been found in 240 inhabitants. Twelve of these are of the so-called 'cluster 5 type', a type in which antibodies from Covid-19 appear to give no or reduced immunity. Actual infection rates are estimated to be considerably higher. Reason for the UK to impose an entry ban on Friday for everyone from Denmark, with the exception of returning British citizens.
The fear is that the soon-to-be-expected vaccine will not protect against this corona mutation - and is, in fact, useless. That is not unrealistic, but doomsday scenarios are undoubtedly also suggested to sell a difficult message. For example, the government and public health authorities argue that "there is a significant risk to public health from the continued breeding of minks during a pandemic".
The government also decided that the entire Danish mink population of 15 to 17 million animals - the largest in the world - must be culled to 'nip the mutation in the bud'. This ends a multi-million dollar industry.
Extraordinary measures
In addition, extraordinary measures have been introduced for the North Jutland region. The inhabitants of seven areas have to stay in their own environment, almost all inhabitants (about 280,000 people) are tested. Bus and train traffic to and from the region has also ceased and schools, restaurants, gyms, swimming pools, libraries and other public meeting places will be closed for the next four weeks. Prime Minister Frederiksen spoke of an 'actual closure' of North Jutland on Thursday. “The situation,” she said, “requires an exceptional approach. The eyes of the world are on us. ”
SSI director Mølbak says that it is possible to contain the mutated virus. In this way, spread from Denmark to the rest of the world can be prevented. “The first step is to remove the mink so that no new introduction can take place. The second step is to limit infections within the community. ” But microbiologist at the University of Southern Denmark Hans Jørn Kolmos thinks 'the danger is far from over'. "New mutations are still emerging at the moment and it will take a long time for all mink populations to be cleared."
There is also a risk of mutations elsewhere, including in the Netherlands. “We have also seen infection transmission between humans and mink in other countries,” said World Health Organization Regional Director Hans Kluge. "Our recommendation is that genetic testing (with which the various mutations can be determined, ed.) Be increased there too."
The Danish government hopes to have cleared all minks by November 16. Agriculture Minister Mogens Jensen says a 'pace bonus' has been introduced for mink breeders who are gaining momentum. At the mink farms, the flag is now at half mast.
