JUST AN FYI - HEADS UP DR. G -

My direct forum bookmark goes to some Lunarpages domain page instead of coming here. However, the forum is available from the message board link on your homepage - AND has the same DNS name. Looks like a bit of a hijack - or Safari (the browser) is getting hit with another javascript redirect script.

Obviously, since I posted this, I found a way in. LOL.

Dr. Richard Grossman:
Thanks, Skep!  I posted a separate thread addressing this problem.  From what I can tell, it's working fine again, but let me know if there are any issues.

Hiya, Hops I thought I responded but it doesn't look like it saved. Well I'm still trying to get more paperwork approved and stuff like that so I still don't know what they are going to agree to. But I've been taking classes anyhow this quarter and Fall as well, just random things to see if I can do it and I decided I can be a student. I took a paralegal class and now I'm taking some writing classes and a business class, just general stuff until something is final.

So I usually don't type about where I live but I'm not sure I care anymore. I live in Washington state and until a few months ago I lived just a few blocks away from the Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland which is where there was recently a Covid19 death reported.

One wonders what communities are going to look like here in the US. Schools will shut down, libraries will shut down. It's all worrisome and tonight I've got myself kind of worked up again after chatting with an old coworker about it who lives in that area still.

Tired, having a beer, have the TV on mute showing ridiculous wrestling because I'm not paying attention to it and never watch that. I'm really stressed about this. I think all a person can hope to do is prepare and try to social distance, but that is a difficult thing to accomplish even if attempted in earnest.

So community transmission is happening in an obvious way here now. It's inevitable and in a month or two all of western WA is bound to be pretty dicey.

There is a nursing home facility in Kirkland WA with an outbreak happening so far two people there were confirmed, about 50 people are sick at that nursing home. The firefighters who responded to that now have to be quarantined. A random teenager North of Seattle was diagnosed, no known travel or contact. I postal service work South of Seattle has been confirmed. It's getting around.

A news reporter stuck a microphone in the face of a Phlebotomist at the nursing facility to talk and they were also interviewing family members in their cars that were coming and going out of the facility visiting relatives who are staying there. There is no way this is contained whatsoever.

I wonder how all the little businesses with face-to-face customer service are going to cope with all of this.

Hopalong:
I know, me too.
I feel worst for the very low income folks without health care or paid leave.
It's immoral.

Perhaps this pandemic will be a wake-up call for our health system and politics.

We have much better care than existed at the time of the Spanish Flu, but evidently it's quite hard on the body (in bad cases), chewing holes in lungs, etc. Still, the highest  death rate is among the elderly (gulp, 70?) and the immune-compromised.

The county next to M's kids' homes is quarantined and they're worried. The DIL is a nurse and there's a corona patient one floor above her....

Masks are for not transmitting it to others; they don't prevent one from getting it, but help prevent spreading it. We haven't gotten masks anyway as everybody's out of them.

Try not to be too scared, G...another really important thing to remember is that in the majority of cases, it's just like having the flu or even milder.

Hugs
Hops
