Anyone know if PCMATTIE (Gary?) is okay?

I started playing FOG with "pcmattie" back when there wasn't a "2" after the name, and we've been exchanging challenges since.
Its funny how you form a friendship with someone without ever meeting them in person, or even seeing a picture of them.
I've always thought of him by his username, but I think his real name is Gary?

Once in the past, I inquired on here if anyone maybe was a real-life friend of the person behind the username. I had been
concerned because weeks had passed without contact in the middle of a game, and he was usually very courteous about telling
me if he would be unavailable. That time, the issue turned out to be a computer crash.

This time, the situation is very different, and I am worried.
He had told me in in-game chat that he thought he and his wife both had Covid-19, and that it felt like the worst flu he had ever had.
He was very sick. A couple days later, I stopped getting turns from him. And...its been a while now. Two weeks at least.
I live in Seattle, in King County, which had the first confirmed case in the US and the largest outbreak in Washington State.
Statewide, our numbers are now at 8682 confirmed cases, and 394 deaths, so you can imagine the harsh reality of the Pandemic has
really struck home for me, though so far I've been fortunate to not lose anyone I know personally.

I think he told me once the name of his community, but I confess I've forgotten it. So I don't know exactly where he lives, except that I
believe its somewhere in the East Midlands area of Great Britain. We were just playing the Battle of the Trent, and he mentioned it was
fought near where he lives. I know that he played tabletop war-games, including FOG, at a Club somewhere in his area, and I thought
that he'd said some of the other Club regulars played THIS version of the game as well. So if any of his real-life gaming buddies are on
here, please reply. Its virtually impossible for me to search for any information on him without knowing where he lives, or his real name.

If ANYONE can get me any information on his current status (or even his actual name so I could search online) I would be very grateful.
