[FRIAM] social distancing increases risk of severe COVID reaction

[Barry MacKichan]

I grew up in Grand Forks, ND, and recently Grand Forks County was in 
third place in the world, or US (I don’t recall which). I no longer 
have any family there and most of my high school class seems to be in 
California and Arizona, but it is still very sad…
