Well it eventually had to happen in my practice:

[PCIntern]

Since 1980, I have treated a family in my practice wherein the husband and father is a well-known local politician. He represented an area of the city that was extremely, Shall we say, caucasian-oriented. His politics were far right, his attitudes towards people of color were, and I’ll be polite, questionable, and he was a giant Trump supporter. He lived and breathed all things Trump. Trump was the man who led him to the promised land and I know you all understand exactly what I’m talking about. And I have to be circumspect here because this is a public figure and of course I am restrained by HIPAA from revealing who this is or discussing certain aspects in detail.

He was virulently anti-mask and anti-social distancing and anti-just about everything that you can imagine. As an aside, He and his whole family had a warm spot in his heart for me because I literally saved his 18 year-old son’s life , but That is a story for another day. Well, guess who died from COVID-19? He had been somewhat compromised medically and succumbed very rapidly. Three days from initial symptoms to termination. He had been to a mask-less party at the New Jersey Shore, sickened appropriately thereafter and just gave out.

For the record, his wife and children whom I’ve known my entire career have always been nothing but polite and gracious with me and interestingly, the only Jewish High Holiday card I received routinely from my patients in all these years is from this family. I once estimated that I’ve lost approximately 11,000 people who are my active patients, and as a great writer once wrote every man’s death diminishes me, but the rapidity with which this Mercilessly took this man’s life was positively frightening. In a way, this is like a discount Herman Cain story.

It just goes to show that the virus doesn’t care what you think or who your idol is.
