"We were supposed to be in Thailand for our one-year wedding anniversary during this time. If COVID-19 didn't happen, we would have been on a plane back and he most likely would be dead. We jokingly – but not seriously – say that COVID-19 saved his life."
Dang. Crazy story, but funny how things work out. I'm sure he's grateful to be recovering in a hospital near his home instead of 8,000 miles away. Get better soon, George!
I told my dad about this, and he believes that if and when TPIR resumes production, they might have to find at least a temporary replacement for George. Quadruple bypass, after all...

I have a very hard time imagining TPIR resuming production in at least the next 4-6 months--I'm no doctor, but barring complications I'd hope George would be long recovered by the time production starts up again, knock on wood.
