What a bittersweet story; so glad they survived and are all together again.

How often is a story like Chad and Tom replicated? So sad, but great that they made it to the other side relatively intact but with long-term effects of COVID and financial devastation.

I had a high school friend on FB who used to post "pun-ny" memes all the time. He was such a funny, nice guy. He was really, really looking forward to our 50th high school reunion which should have been in September, but which was postponed due to COVID. Jay pushed to reschedule that reunion as soon as possible--he loved coming back to CT from KY and seeing all his old friends.

We heard he passed away a few months back. I thought it was cancer--he had been battling prostate cancer. But I learned it was COVID. I got his address so I could send his wife a sympathy card, but before I got it in the mail, I learned that his wife had just died of COVID, too.

It's shocking how it has changed lives all over the world. So sad.

So many sad stories.

So many sad stories.

Indeed. And a reminder to those of us who are lucky enough to not have a sad story so close to home that a lot of people really have been suffering and hurting because of this pandemic.

Thanks for sharing the text of the article, JP. Truly a sad story, but glad they came through it.

I vaccinated a patient last week who shared this. She's had covid twice. She's a long-hauler. She hasn't been able to work for 5 months as she is too debilitated. She has an acquaintance who experienced long-hauler's resolving about 3 weeks after her 2nd vaccine so she was very hopeful!

The anecdotal stories we get as vaccinators are amazing. This is just one.

Our governor is still on a power trip. After an infectious disease specialist from a leading hospital in the state wrote an article in The New England Journal of Medicine stating the outdoor mask mandate should be dropped, did he drop it? No.

After the CDC said the same thing, did he drop it? Not for several days. He just couldn't bear to give up the control right away. Pathetic.

The CDC dropped outdoor mask recommendations this week. I don’t think my city has dropped that yet. But I don’t worry about that I think it’s ridiculous that there’s any kind of directive for me to wear a mask outdoors, that’s stupid and I wont be doing it.

I WILL be avoiding close up talk with humans outdoors, however.

On the way home from an outdoor dinner last night we ran into a neighbor and had a chat, maskless. Even though I had a mask around my neck because I had gone to this restaurant and thought I might need it if had to dart indoors. Anyway. I talked to the neighbor I ran into, but I stood 6 feet apart I stood in the street he stood on the sidewalk and we had our necessary conversation. It’s not hard.
