I just got this from my interpreter friend in Berlin:

It is 16.24 p.m. in Berlin, Germany. I couldn't sleep for two days now, cause I am suffocating while trying to breath. I was just told that I am going on a respirator. Looks like I caught this new type of virus. African.  My fucking luck. Hope I'll wake up. Thanks for everything Jim. God bless you your good soul and heart. I want you to know that I love you. So long my friend
