Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
Yesterday's local CBC coverage reports "726 patients with COVID-19 being treated in hospitals, up from 420 last Wednesday", also "There are 190 patients being treated for COVID-related illnesses in intensive care units, compared to 168 at the same time last week". Our government has once again slapped restrictions aimed to curtail outbreaks in long term care and other congregate settings. Many hospitals are also once again postponing elective surgeries as they prep for an influx of patients (and that means everything that isn't imminently life threatening). Sign, déjà vu.
Nephew #3 is currently isolating with minor symptoms, there is no testing capacity available but since he was in close contact with confirmed cases on Christmas day we all are certain it's covid, the first case in my family.
hug!!
wishing us all well! :)
regarding variants...corona...
since the beginning we've been told everything, and the opposite...
--masks don't help; they help; they don't help
--corona is not mutating, don't worry; corona is mutating, there are variants
--don't worry about the variants, you're vaccinated; worry about the variants, sometimes the vaccines don't work
--the vaccines are safe; the vaccines aren't safe (in norway, research is showing that the vaccines might be affecting many women's menstruation negatively); they're unsafe; they're safe...
the news changes constantly.
i think, trust your instinct.
pre-new-year hugs!!
bundle of joy :)
While omicron appears to be not as dangerous, it spreads more easily, what will the next variant do? It could spread easily and cause more death.
Hard to believe we have been doing this for almost two years!
be proud of all the help you gave!! :) :) :).
different topic:
some of us have verrrry ungrateful LOs, verrry abusive LOs, who try to make us feel horrible, trample on us, try to destroy us, want us absolutely not to feel proud of ourselves.

Sounds like my dad; he liked the nursing home.
I just checked. It got 5 stars. So did my other choices.
I often found that the quality of care and the rating often didn't add up.
The antiviral pills aren’t for everyone who gets a positive test. The pills are intended for those with mild or moderate COVID-19 who are more likely to become seriously ill. That includes older people and those with other health conditions like heart disease, cancer or diabetes that make them more vulnerable. Both pills were OK'd for adults while Paxlovid is authorized for children ages 12 and older.
I would be a full blown nutter. Oh wait, maybe....
From the mouths of babes, yep, your whole leg got broked.
Real, my sanity is already questionable.
Continued prayers for your health and sanity.
