UPDATE #3 - Shym has managed to get back to the US. He has arrived at OHare, Chicago but is in one of those horrible hours-long lines to get through customs.

I Have a relative who actually recently returned from, of all places, Casablanca. Glad he is making it home alright. Yes, his timing is unbelievable for trips. I have a friend who was scheduled to go to Italy but that's off now. But here, the latest is: the entire state is on self-isolation if over 65.

UPDATE #2 - He made it to Heathrow Airport and has managed to get a flight out tomorrow afternoon. He thinks he is just going to hang out at the airport until then to make sure nothing goes wrong.

UPDATE: Someone has managed to get some extra money to him and he is at the airport in Barcelona with a ticket to fly out this evening to the UK. He's taking it one step at a time and he has friends and family backing him.

Re: Re: Corbin_Dallas
Probably for the same reason(s) that you and I and others post things on Blogit. We must like to call attention to ourselves in one way or another, or for one reason or another or we wouldn't be doing public stuff.

Re:
My point of view is he used the young man to help his meager campaign efforts.
Why else did he go public with it?

i really love Pete Buttigieg. I was watching the night he helped that young boy " come out". I feel that if he could help he will.

Fingers crossed for Shym. He could write a book, couldn't he.

One little decision can bring on a tremendous amount of problems. Does he or his family know any Congressmen or Senators? It's gonna take "pull" from higher up.
