Condolences to his family and all who knew him. A good Bear taken, tragically, long before his time.
I'm less than impressed with the reporting however. As has been pointed out, coronavirus was present in Dubai long before it appeared in Scotland - at least 4 weeks before in fact - so there is absolutely no evidence that I have read anywhere that supports the theory that he contracted the disease in Scotland. Indeed, he may have carried it to Scotland from Dubai. There's no 'story' in that though.
Again, my sympathies are with the lad's family and friends. 40 is no age at all. Horrific.
