Be careful again (May 8)

 

Most enthusiasts are (somewhat) older and especially they have to be careful. Even if they will start basketing again. It has been 2 weeks since Sunday when Charel Boeckx said to his wife "I am going to cycle." He did that at least once every day. Also in winter and also in bad weather. Because Charel was actually perfectly healthy. So he fell close to home and had it checked at the hospital to be sure. Before being allowed to be tested on Corona. Negative. Slight operation, he recovered quickly and could go home. The family happy. After all, nobody had seen Charel after cycling because every visit was prohibited in that hospital (Belgians are strict).

 

It would be right, because then fate struck. Charel started to sweat and cough. Corona acquired at the hospital that was supposed to make him better. He died. Nobody can see him anymore. He will be cremated soon. Outside the cremation building, a few may watch the smoke. How hard life can be.

Belgium actually has the highest death rate of all European countries, it has a small population, the death rate is over 751 per million (UK is 469 per million - all today's figures) it's very sad, especially as the infection was picked up in what should have been a safe environment

Karel Boeckx was a very good fancier.

 

The wife of Flip Herbots has also died due to Corona virus
