My friend has good and bad days. It's all over the board, but she sounds pretty good.

Is she doing better overall, Lighter? I keep hearing that the long term from Covid can be tough, even if you get a mild case. I do keep wondering if it is what I had back in December. So many people talking about the possibility it was here earlier than we thought. I was very unwell over Christmas - dry cough, high temp, awful chest and I was still struggling by the March, just couldn't quite shake it off. Hard without knowing enough about any of it. So much is still speculation.
But we have some good news - the area I am in is in the five least affected areas in the country. Only four cases recorded last week, one the week before that. One death. The local population is around the 90,000 people mark so that's pretty good going. We've had loads of holidaymakers down here but it doesn't seem to have caused a big jump in numbers. Definitely nowhere near as bad as it was. Some people feel it will just burn itself out. I would love for that to be the case. I'm still not rushing to go anywhere - health appointments, library, cinema from next month once the kids have gone back to school. I think people are taking care. But it's nice to feel more relaxed about it. It feels more relaxed in general; I think the precautions have become more normal for people now so the anxiety over masks and hand sanitiser seems to have reduced.

Tupp:
THAT IS GREAT NEWS! Yes! Lower numbers are a really good thing to read, aren't they.
I have the name of a UK company selling what appears to be new 30 day wear masks that don't heat up, don't muffle sound and keep the virus from getting in or getting out... not sure if it KILLS it or not, but friend in medical field said, exactly. The site says they're reusable self disinfecting proven to kill 99.9% of viruses and bacteria continuously for 30 days. WHOO HOO, friend said he did the research... has the seal of approval from the right agencies.
Can you get them where you are... have them delivered? Maybe they're somewhere close to you, on a shelf?
INVISISMART MASKS.... get the 30 day ones... ISM30, not the 5 day ones... almost same price, for heaven's sake. They also have shields you might find necessary as well.
I pay 10.00 in shipping and masks seem to be a little over 10.00 each, so maybe you'll find a much better deal there?
The site also says they're 4 layer surgical grade....look them up if you feel it's worth your time.
I have some ordered... back ordered, rather.

Alas, cases here are still going up every day.
And worse, the local university is opening up for fall semester.
So there's a bit of dread building about how many thousands of more vectors for spread are about to arrive.
The U. really does not care about the local community, though it pretends to.
Beyond stupid decision, as students carouse recklessly all over town and have done so forever. I just don't think some people are mature enough to restrain themselves.
More, longer, tiring, demoralizing quarantine months ahead. In the cold.
Hops

Tupp:
My friend seems to be doing better. I hope she doesn't have any of the dreaded damage to her heart or lungs experienced by some.
She's in the high risk category for several reasons.
((Hops:))
It will be a dark cold winter, but we'll all be here for you.

Hopalong:
I'm glad your friend is doing better too, ((((((Lighter))))).
And thanks very much for your kindness about my winter dread.
It's creeping up on me.
(Note to self: Counter-intuitive or NOT, those affected by SAD need to start using their lights in AUGUST! The brain notices a subtle change in light even when it's still hot summer outside.)
hugs
Hops
