As airlines were cancelling flights globally, I texted a couple I knew who were on vacation in Egypt for 4 weeks, telling them to get on a plane and get back to Toronto ASAP before all flights out of Europe and UK westbound were cancelled. They were standing beside a pyramid when they received my text.
Acting promptly, they went back to their hotel that day, packed up and flew from Egypt to London Heathrow, then directly to Toronto, arriving back home only 48 hours after I'd texted them.
Upon arrival in Toronto, she got sick immediately and was admitted to hospital, now diagnosed with Covid-19 and becoming the first person in Canada to actually contract the disease. In fact they both had Covid-19.
They believe they got Covid while in Egypt or somewhere in transit, but 8 months later she was dead from committing suicide after being diagnosed with 'long Covid' and unable to cope with it's debilitating side effects. 🇨🇦
