Dear Friends, I’m sorry to report that I am among the growing number of Americans who tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. I’m not in the habit of discussing medical issues on social media, but I do so in hope this will help other people to understand how serious and how contagious this illness is. Although I am fortunate enough to be cared for at home, this is possibly the worst illness I’ve ever had. For those of you who still do not believe the COVID-19 virus is real, or think it is a “hoax” or part of some conspiracy, my advice to you is to understand right now that this is a deadly illness spreading like wildfire throughout the world. PLEASE make every attempt to stall the spread of this virus by: 1) staying home- the only way we can stop the spread right now is by self-quarantine 2) washing your hands as many times a day as you can and don’t touch your face and 3) follow the SCIENCE. Importantly, please read the guidelines posted at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to educate yourself on the facts and protect your loved ones: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html
Last but never least: wherever you are in the world, let’s all be kind to one another. Only if we work together can we defeat COVID-19.
Love, Christopher 💙
Jim Pledger was a friend for 50 years, one of the most unique and genuine human beings I’ve ever known. We shared so many good times—memories that are even more precious now that Jim has passed on. I’m sure he is hanging with our close friend Rob, reciting episodes of Firesign Theatre. We will miss you my friend. Your memory will always be a blessing. 🙏
Deeply saddened to hear about my friend Jim Pledger’s passing. Jim was one of the most unique and genuine human beings I’ve ever known. We shared many good times over the decades, even more precious now that he has moved on. Shown here with our close friend Rob (who passed a few years ago), somehow I know they’re hanging out together again and reciting episodes of Firesign Theater. We will miss you. Rest In Peace. 💙
