EASTERN SHORE MAN WITH COVID-19: “THIS IS A HEFTY VIRUS”

One of the two Eastern Shore men who tested positive for Covid-19 encouraged others to heed warnings in an interview Tuesday night, saying, “This is a hefty virus.”

“People do need to listen to what is being said,” said Russell Vreeland, who lives in Craddockville and allowed himself to be identified in this report.

“I’m not sure what I can tell people that will ease fears,” said Vreeland, who feels he came into contact with the coronavirus in the Charlotte, N.C., airport several weeks ago.

“A person sat down behind us and started hacking and coughing like crazy,” he said, adding, “Despite everything we did maintaining our ‘social distancing,’ one person kind of messed it up.”

Question is, did her fly into Salisbury or drive back from Charlotte?

Maybe they took a flying carpet. At this point, what difference does it make!

Any virus or flu is hefty. Takes it toll.

1. He was at the airport. duh.
2. Got off the plane in Smallsbury and got to his car and drove home
3. It is a 6 hour drive from Charlotte to Craddockville
4. It is a 1.5 hour drive from Craddockville to Salisbury
5. I highly doubt he drove 6 hours home when he didnt need to.
6. I see you lack critical thinking skills
7. High 5 to the dude for releasing his name and potentially saving a life.

Participating in social distancing and flying in an airplane at the same time is impressive.
