A friend of a friend contracted EEE, that is Eastern equine encephalitis virus, usually carried by mosquitoes.
Said friends all engage on a beer-related forum, and having been away from that forum for a while, I discovered the situation today. Massive brain swelling, loss of sensory inputs, etc.
A friend of his is relating what he observes from the hospital to the forum: I do not remember being so scared as I was after reading the extent of the damage inflicted to the individual. Up to a few days ago, it was a great day when he would open an eye for two seconds for the day, without even being able to focus.
We are all hoping for the best, but the recovery will take a long, long time. We will be have mini fundraiser/brew day locally, as family is without disability insurance.
If you do not have any disability coverage, you may think about it.
