Sigh. (then wait). (vii). A friend of a friend simply died while sitting on the toilet. She was sitting straight up, and her friends found her in that position...no one among all these older ladies had ever heard of anything like that. Here in Korea, they cremate, no embalming for a funeral...this was just a few days after this lady got the 2nd shot. Well. There seem to be plenty of sad stories like this. (then wait.) Etc, etc....
