I agree--it's just a feeling I have too, not exactly based on logic, just spidey-sense that they may go remote again.

I hope not for his sake, senior year is so cool. But they might graduate them early or something, too....

Last year because schools were partly in person, Seniors were able to have a graduation ceremony. They held it at the school on the football field. Normally parents have to drive almost an hour away to an arena for the ceremony. School said it worked out so well that they may continue it at the school from now on. Works for me! 10 minute drive compared to an hour drive. My oldest graduated in 2019 and he was so happy that he did instead of having graduation taken away from him like the kids in 2020.

I guess you know more than the reporters at the health care facilities in Florida talking to the health care administrators. Let me guess - you're getting your information from a self-styled expert who lives isolated in a pod on an island off the coast of Washington state. Because he knows everything.

This is how Medicare works - you show up at the ER and there's nothing wrong with you. Medicare will not pay the ER charges.

You are admitted "for observation" for 24+ hours and Medicare will pay.

Faced with a patient who cannot or will not pay the ER out of pocket charges, or admitting them to get the Medicare reimbursement, which route do you think a for profit hospital is going to take?

I just put a poster on ignore. What a nice feeling not to be bullied.

let us all hope that this virus gets under control, because after 18 months of this I hope it is not the new normal.
I also hope a family wedding goes as planned on November. They actually married shortly after the virus started, with parents, grandparents and siblings only present, but would love to have their party.
in the meantime, unless,I have something helpful to add, I think I’ll stick to the other threads. My mental health is very important to me and I am so incredibly sad by the disease and death around me. Arguing about it adds to the sadness.

I will reciprocate and put you on ignore.

If dubious information being questioned is bullying, and facts uncovered by reporters are denied as fake news, Lord help us all. Part of the culture of victimization I guess.

Reno is a big tourist destination. We have a mask mandate and most people are following it. Flowers, I laughed when I read the ridiculous statement that seniors that weren’t sick were going to the ER. If anything seniors are putting off medical care as no one wants to be around the virus. I appreciate hearing first hand what’s going on by you.

"An individual with hypochondriasis is known as a hypochondriac. Hypochondriacs become unduly alarmed about any physical or psychological symptoms they detect, no matter how minor the symptom may be, and are convinced that they have, or are about to be diagnosed with, a serious illness [such as covid-19]". I added the words in brackets.

Well, aren't you precious?....

Oh, here's a picture of a nice pod, T18, I saw right off my beach just this week:
