Just found out my Grand Nephew tested positive. 10 years old. My sister is freaking out.
Sorry to hear. Every parent's worst nightmare. The vaccine for under 12 is due out next month.

Hadn't heard that. We'll be first in line for my 10 yr old. Hell, she'll demand to go if she hears about it.

10% of the teachers at our school are Covid positive.
Both my kids got exposed today.One teacher caught covid, got Pfizer, and has it again. She is early 40s. Her sister is dying of it. We have NO hospital beds anywhere in our region. Zero, zilch nada. Her sister got sent how with a bottle of O2 and a bunch of other stuff and basically told good luck.
I have great empathy for kids, parents and teachers today. It's a really difficult situation we unfortunately find ourselves in.
Turns out I was exposed Tuesday as well. Yeah for me!!!
Fully masked KN95 though so here's hoping!!!
Good luck, and hope things turn out well. Just as a point for those that don't know it... Along with KN95 being the only mask that is really of any benefit for the virus, the way you handle the mask as you take it on and off and position it is equally as important. Medical professionals know this. The average citizen has absolutely no clue. You need to think of it like you were handling chicken right before you mask up. Make sure your hands are washed and you're being very careful to put a totally clean mask on. Anything and everything you touch before putting it on, while it's on, and any adjustments you make are subject to contamination and could actually make things worse. In some ways it's very much like creating a sterile field. So, if you're going to wear the masks, try to do it the right way. I can say for a fact that 95% or more of the people out there are not helping themselves by masking up. The people that know these things know this.
On a totally serious note, we can all disagree as to how to handle this thing. But today marks one year since I lost my brother to covid. I don't wish this illness on anyone, though others may not feel that way. God bless and good luck.

Just stay connected with Dr on it...
According to my doc, I can't get seasonal flu or Covid vaccine for at least 6-8 weeks due to my having breakthrough.

Sorry about your bros...We light a candle in our home on the anniversary of a passing or birthday for someone who's passed.
I agree about mask handling. I wont do an N95 because of just the points you make - plus its too restrictive for me.
KN95 I found much easier to deal with.

Agreed. Will keep the families in prayer. I know there are some on both sides that want to dance on graves, but whatever you believe, that isn't right. Karma, Christian charity, just common sense dictates you don't celebrate death. It is a sick culture that celebrates death, even that of their enemies.
Not saying it doesn't happen, we are human and given to misguided passion. But thank you for "lighting" the way here PF.

^^^ Now your sourcing a former 6th grade science teacher’s twitter account who graduated from an Israeli university w/ 1-10 employees, convincingly awesome… B) Is Pee Wee Herman next…?  Wikipedia…!? B)
This would be a lot funnier if these mental giants weren't taking up every ICU bed across the country.
I am SOOOO over the selfish fuckers. You don't want to get the shots. Fine but don't go to the hospital you selfish fuckers. Stick to your guns. You don't want to trust medical professionals pleading with you to get vaccinated, then don't crawl to them to fix you when you get sick.
Are you ready to take that stand against everybody that bucks the odds or does stupid shit and gets hurt or sick? Tobacco users that get cancer or other, obese that get diabetes, careless sluts that get pregnant? I am not saying which way I support, ( Barr likely has a pretty good idea ) but the door has to swing both ways. That position can't be simply about covid, if we are going to withhold medical care for those that put themselves into a situation, then we can't overlook other obvious lapses of judgement or we will cease to be a civilization.
Yes, there should be penalties by the market for those who are driving up costs with selfish decisions. I would love a market place that rewards the right actions and penalizes bad ones. You don't want to get into a statistical analysis here on smoking, food, and the impact it has the healthcare system and ultimately the economy.
BTW easy with the "careless sluts" comment, WTF. How many people are born out of wedlock, not of a planned pregnancy? A significant majority, including I am sure plenty of people here. You are insulting a lot of women (wives, sisters, mothers) by stating that, not very Christian of you to do.

That hyperbole was likely intentional to drive home the point. But thanks for the lecture about being something you obviously don't care about.
I know it’s pretty easy to be tribal and start saying
sarcastic things out of our wounds, but I think we need to be cautious about
ending up on a path which results in an even worse healthcare system than the one
we already have. In zero realities do we
want to be heading down a pathway towards less people having access to
healthcare or increasing costs for certain groups of people, because we all
know that the major healthcare organizations would shun healthcare for as many
people as possible if it made them a buck, and we shouldn’t give them that
opportunity. If you need any evidence of
this, just look at the Purdue Pharma case that’s in the news recently, where
their lust for profits was responsible for many of the 400,000+ opioid deaths.
70% of our population supports universal healthcare or
medicare for all or whatever you want to call it. Let’s move towards better healthcare rather
than lowering the bar.
