I'm sorry to hear that you have lost a friend. I have been very lucky thus far, and I have not lost anyone to this disease yet. I'm sure I would be much more frustrated with misinformation if I had lost a loved one. My condolences.

I don't know where you are getting your information, but it is all incorrect. This is not factual data, and no one is 1. The death rate from Covid is much higher than the flu. Yes, people can die from the flu, but the death rate is much lower. 2. The CDC has demonstrated through experiments...

It's true!

I appreciate your kind words very much, even though I no longer work in the hospital. Those that do these days are truly the best of us.

You made me laugh out loud very early on a Saturday morning. My husband's standard answer is, "it's human nature". Probably true, not very satisfying.

That is funny. My husband gets this patient look on his face when I start a rant. He has put up with a lot of rants as well, and he has no answers for me. Perhaps yours does!

Well, I am a nurse, too, although retired. During my career, I worked with a lot of contagious patients, including drug resistant TB, and I was never resistant to wearing protective equipment. Maybe it is our "up close and personal" experience, but I don't understand why the general public...

Very eloquently said! These are vaccines made by a method never before used, and may be the model for how all vaccines are made in the future. Rapid vaccine development will greatly benefit mankind in the future. This is not the last nasty virus we will see, unfortunately, so it is so...

I, too, have been trying to suss out what the individual reasoning or psychology is regarding not wanting to wear a mask when the science is very strong that it helps to decrease transmission. Is it just a case of ignorance or misinformation? If anyone here can explain it to me, I would...

So sorry that you had to eat alone with daughter on Zoom. Your family must set a date in the future to have a celebration meal! I hope this quarantine just turns into a much needed vacation for you.

Yes, it is a bit frightening when people start speaking as though they have one foot beyond the veil, but it may be the result of extreme isolation. I really hate hearing that she is positive. Maybe she will have a mild course. I certainly hope so. It's really hard on you and your husband...

@Mobjack Bay, what dibbles said! Me, too. Your table is lovely as well as the view. I hope you have a safe, fun visit.

Me, too, Obsidian! I am a nurse, and I have been closely following development of the vaccines. They stop a drug/vaccine trial if anyone has anything happen that is serious to determine if it has anything to do with the drug/vaccine. So stopping trials is a common occurrence. If they meet...

I found this to be a fascinating article about parallels during Thanksgiving in 1918 and the current situation. For your reading pleasure: https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/nation/2020/11/21/covid-and-thanksgiving-how-we-celebrated-during-1918-flu-pandemic/6264231002/

I don't anything about Rooto, but I use Roebic lye consistently without any problems.

All this magical thinking about Covid is very disturbing! I understand why no one wants to deal with Covid, neither do I. But I also don't think it's going to skip over me and mine "just cause" if I don't take precautions. Thanksgiving this year will be me and my husband, with 2 dogs begging...

Just now seeing this, Kim. Such good news! I wanted to tell you that I have had to put a dog down for a stroke, and I have had a dog survive a stroke and get better. So, there's hope! If you have to give her water in the future, it is so much easier with a syringe. Can you get a big one at...

How frustrating and scary! I hope all goes well, Earlene. And I hope your surgeries go well. You definitely have too much going on!

Dawni, I hope all goes as well as it can for you and yours. I thought about you when the storms hit and hoped you were OK. Now, your uncle is sick? It seems it is a constant challenge these days. Take care of you as well as everyone else.

I wondered if anyone was going to address this issue. He once said that he thought hitting women was no big deal, so I agree, he obviously was not a nice man, at least to women.
