THANK YOU Pat and all the brave and compassionate family members who were with us in the trenches of the pandemic. I lost half my friends and my lover by 1990, and just barely survived until 1996 when protease inhibitor drugs were tested. Another friend of mine was also near death in 96' he could no longer digest food, and was fed through a hep port in his chest.
