My son's in-laws continue to be ill; it's a very scary situation. Fil was admitted to hospital yesterday with a diagnosis of "late stage covid." None of us can figure out what this means--does this mean very severe, or just that he is 12-13 days in? They did not know anymore than he is getting supplemental oxygen and lots of tests.
I feel really guilty for thinking they will not get vaccinated in future; they are terrified.
Tybee sometimes that is what it takes, unfortunately. My parents' mechanic was a covid denier until he landed up in the hospital intubated.
Tybee, I'm sorry for your problems. It seems like our local news has a story every other day about an antivaxxer laying in an ICU bed with them or their family expressing regrets about vaccination when it's too late. I don't totally understand some of the resistance, but I think some of it is cultural or based on poor information. I suppose the vaccine does has some small risk and a few unknowns, like many of our medicines.
I have two friends living out of state who were anti vaxxers and both have tested positive, but only had mild symptoms. So it's not always so bad, but a roll of the dice.
Tybee, so sorry to hear about your sils. I hope they recover.

Thanks, happystuff! They are both doing a little better this morning, and he is not in the ICU, so that is good news. Keeping sending good thoughts for them both, poor guys.Originally Posted by happystuff
Oh no. So sorry, Tybee. How awful!! I will hold them in my prayers.
ETA: Just read the more positive update. So good to hear, but I will still hold them in my prayers!

Prayers and love and light are very appreciated, thank you, everyone.
