Hopalong:
Was he vaccinated, Lighter? I'm so sorry.

I've just read the wave has suddenly begun receding in the U.K. and in India.
Who knows, but sounds like the vicious Delta variant is just whipping through, much terrible destruction in its wake, but then moving rapidly on.

That's an evil and scary bugger. I hope enough people are protected to not get severely ill.

Lots of light to your brother, and any others who may be unprotected.

No, Tupp.....not vaccinated.  He explained it like this..... doc gave him steroids and Zpack to keep his lungs clear. He feels congested, no fever....like the regular flu.  An employee has it too.  GF s negative.  Son, living in the same house.... negative.

I think being in the house for a week has him bored and a bit stir crazed, but he sounded steady to me.

I hope he's feeling better soon, Lighter.  It is weird how some people catch it and some don't, when they live or work together.  I've heard of many people here who've had some people in the household with it and other's  haven't caught it at all, even though they live together and have looked after them.  It's an odd and unpredictable virus, that's for sure.  I hope he's back to full health quickly.

The numbers here do seem to be dropping quickly and I'm hoping that means this hump is over.  There are a lot in hospital again and the death rate is right back up.  I think it's the longevity of it all that's so tough - all the staff that have had to work through it for months and months, all the people that have had to stay home for long periods, those who've had to avoid contact with others all the way through and so on.  I still don't feel that the quality of information being given out here is good enough and I'm having to hunt down various sources to try to figure out what our own personal risk level is (stay away from people is the signal for us at the minute, but it does seem to be falling).  Restrictions here have been lifted but most have carried on with masks and space anyway.  I think the vaccine rate here is pretty high; I did read that they think we're almost at herd immunity now and that another month or so we should be there.  I hope that's the case, and that it's sufficient against other variants.  And that they hurry up and help out other nations with vaccines.  And act quicker to stop future outbreaks.  And, and, and xx

The neighbor doc's intensive care beds are full of Coronavirus cases....non vaxed, every one.

She said a spike looks imminent and she's waiting for marching orders.

She said typically the cases go South real quick....likely, my brother won't experience terrible illness if he's been I'll for a week without hospitalization.

She also said one of her patients is 32 yo.  One is 48yo. 

It's not just elderly people nose diving with Covid.

She also said they aren't testing cases to determine which Covid type patients have.  She said Ga isn't interested in testing or reporting Covid numbers at all.

Not a great update, but good to know.

Phyll:
I had to go to Jury Duty today.  Other than one witness (a doctor) who testified briefly, I was the only person in the courtroom wearing a mask.  Our county rated High for infection.  Although I am fully vaxed, I really do not even want a mild case of this COVID Delta variant.  As it is, I had to cancel my PT evaluation and wound care appointments for tomorrow. I just really do not want to lose further ground on my rehab from surgery and recovery from Lymes disease.

My W of course is overly concerned with how this is going to affect him, saying I will catch COVID, give it to him, and because he has an immune disorder he will likely get really sick and die. That is a whole other issue.

I am not sure what I am going to do.  Later this month, my brother is having a funeral service at the cemetery for his wife N who died last December.  My 70 year old brother is not vaccinated, and neither are his adult son and daughter.  The daughter and her adult kids are all flying in from Texas. I know some are vaxed and some I am not sure of.  The timing is so bad.
