Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

And getting into arguements on the internet wont change that. Write your congressman instead of being arguementative to your fellow man. You can only control what you do. I myself am here for you in support and hope that you are well. But I cant control what the policies in place are. We're all struggling right now so lets remember that. I think you're coming from a place of anger and frustration and I'd love it if we could all help you through that. We're here for you. thats what this community is about!

I like this.

 

[Cynthia12]

Nope no anger. I just like to see people help themselves instead of living completely in fear. That’s no way to live.

I'm not afraid. I'm vaccinated and I wear masks.

 

[Cynthia12]

I'm not sure how well masks work...but I do believe they help a bit, so IMO that's enough to make me wear them.

In no way are masks or the vaccine completely preventative, of course.

No vaccine has ever been a 100%. They sure help keep things under control though.

Any body else notice the diminished quality of the pharmacies? I read they got over worked since having to give COVID vax and unhappy with their pay. We go to Wegmans and used to get top notch service, now there are new employees every time we go and lots of mistakes. Went for a script this morning that should've been ready in Dec and she said, we've contacted the Dr several times and he won't send it, the next lady said, he shouldn't need a refill yet. On the patient portal it says the Dr renewed it on Sat. This isn't the first time it's happened. Last time they charged full price instead of using insurance. They are making a whole range of mistakes. Overworked? No experience? I don't know but don't want to stay an hour at the pharmacy every time I go and still leave empty handed

Our pharmacy in our small town has been really good so far, but I have noticed problems in most other businesses (fast food, dollar stores and many more). Quite often there are new employees with very little experience. It probably doesn't help that basic civility is something missing in too many people in our society. Far too often (no matter which "side" people are on) people have very little respect for others or the opinions of others. Even my doctor's office had to put up a sign reminding people to treat staff with respect. I asked if they really have been having a problem with that (because I had seen similar signs at fast food places, etc.) and they said yes... Before Covid they would have have only one abusive phone call or interaction with a patient a year. Now it happens almost every day. So sad.

I call my scripts in. I read off the number code they told me I had to give them. I say the name of the script. I then tell them if any new scripts are called in what they are and that I want them filled also. I do so 3 days before I go to the Pharmacy. That is when they told me to call them in any sooner they put back on shelf before I get there. They say it also gives them time to order the meds. they don't have on hand. I do this each month.
They should know every month I needs these meds. They should have them alrady on hand. I can only go to them once a month if anything isn't there I do not get it until next month. Most the time I walkout with 2-3 meds missing. They say ooops or bad. We missed it.

Be careful .. so many deaths..the whole world is sick. The whole world. My opinion...mine and oh so many others, is it's because one, there aren't enough vaccines getting done, and two, not enough masks being worn. If everyone in the world would do this, there would be so many ..less.. less deaths. It hurts my heart to know this. Our state is so sick right now. Do Utahns believe in masks? No, and the deaths rates are unreal this past months time. So, of course, Salt Lake City has had to mandate masks. Because they work! It's been proven! Vent over. Except one more time. Be careful. Now, this looks promising!!!! https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-...cine/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=news_tab

Not trying to be arguementative so please dont misread me. But even if you said "we would have world peace if everyone in the world stood on one foot for 2 weeks" it wouldnt get done. Just my two cents.

Ha I’m not having a rough time. As I’ve already said I’ve had covid and been vaccinated. I’m not eligible for the booster yet but don’t particularly have a problem with getting it. There have been no less than 30 people that have tested positive at work since Christmas and I assure you they are and have been wearing masks. It’s required.
Quite a few of them have been vaccinated as well yet still tested positive and got sick. So…again I’d ask what’s next? Continue living under a rock pretending the mandates and guidelines that have put so many businesses out of business are actually working? Ever actually worked? People have been buying into the BS for so long they cannot think for themselves anymore. It’s really sad.

I agree

It just needs to blow through and infection everybody and then we just add it to the illnesses we get. Having stuff closed down and making everybody stay home is just stretching it out. Kicking the covid can down the road. I understand people have underlying conditions but I hate to say covid don't care

 

[topochico225]

I seriously think DF and DB have Omicron. DBs test results aren’t back and DF got tested today

 

[h2oratt]

Is this a good deal?
