Oh my, I hope they have a speedy recovery. Sorry you have to go through this Coubob. I think the most difficult part is the waiting around to see what is going to happen. It can occupy most of your thoughts and feelings until you know they are safe. q45

So far the holiday shopping lunacy has doubled the local cases. Today 90 people in the hospitals that have a total of 772 beds. About double what it was two weeks or so. Clearly the thousands and thousands of people packed in like sardines to buy inflatable garbage for their lawns (you know, essentials) had an effect.

A man I work with directly has it and is isolated. Another who I work with much more often regularly in close quarters is 79 and he was notified and isolated as a precaution. He's awaiting results and is asymptomatic. But me and the 19 year old kid who should have been told, who were told in the past about these things - they have no one to replace us so they said nothing. Their compliance and procedures are a total joke and if it's true here it probably is a lot of places. $$ first.

On another level though, I've been up to my ass in it for months and the hospitals just weren't and aren't now overloaded in any way. I wouldn't want to volunteer to be one of the 90 in there now, that's for sure. Those I know that have recovered do not recommend the experience. My brother has serious medical issues and he absolutely can't risk exposure, uses an N95 and I am grateful he has one and stays away.

But I honestly believe that if it were as contagious as we had all feared - even lived up to half of the hype - it would be much worse. All that reminds me of what we hear when a big snowstorm or hurricane approaches - reporters clinging dramatically to poles in the wind while someone calmly walks their dog in the background .... The virus will travel 32 feet and fly up your nose, your mask will rot your face, e-i-e-i-o

Put the f*****g mask on - about any mask - and wash your hands. NY was among the first to get this crap and then mandate the masks and even late and imperfect compliance had a noticeable effect.

My twin girls are Absolutely devestated! They were looking forward to playing in the wreakers (the 18+ training league). Possible tryouts for the real deal. But for now it's gone..
They join Ian my son in the loss of sport they love. Ian lost his 1st year as a South side slugger little league baseball this year. I swear on all I love they will get the best Christmas ever..

Glad to hear about your mom feeling better. The hardest part for me was the coughing. I coughed so much and so deep/hard that I thought for sure I was going to give myself a heart attack.

I feel for your aunt too. She probably feels guilty for passing it to your mom on top of all the stuff she has to go through having the virus herself.. Hope she feels better soon.

Since we're talking about your family, hows your shoulder?

I had my first Covid swab test last week, ahead of an outpatient procedure I had earlier this week. I had my throat and nasal passage swabbed. The one in the throat was only slightly irritating. The one in the nostril I found deeply unpleasant. The nurse performing it twisted the swab when it was deep in my nose, and it inflamed the tissue of the nasopharynx, leaving a lasting discomfort.

It also took place in the dreadful hospital I mentioned a few weeks back. Their procedures did not seem particularly sanitary. It was the greatest risk of covid infection I have been exposed to in a long time. All to protect the other patients who might be using the clinic I was visiting a few days later. Not much good if I was to get infected while being tested.

Good news! Glad to hear about your mother, it doesn't seem to be about age as much now, young or old can recover well, I think the key is the level of exposure, a light dose or a heavy dose determining how sick we become if we get exposed to Covid-19...

Our wonderful governor here in PA, Tom Wolf, has tested positive once and then had two negative tests. It was just announced that restaurants will not be allowed to seat patrons, gyms and casinos will have to close in PA. Already some restaurant owners are defying the governor. It’s a strange situation. Wolf is now in his second term. If you ask both Democrats and Republicans, most dislike the good governor.

He began to annoy Pennsylvanians when he decided not to live in the Governors Mansion in Harrisburg. He lives in his home in Mount Wolf PA, about 25 miles away. If he has business at the Capitol he is chauffeured to Harrisburg.

Sounds like he's got the Right Stuffe.
