I'm not a doctor. I'm a nurse.
(I work for a living.) They hate when I say that.

No, you work to keep people living. You probably dont hear it enough though:
THANK YOU

AMF

I am not going anywhere

It's everywhere, friends. PLEASE be careful!

Please get vaccinated, the vaccinated are getting it but for the most part not dying.

I am so sorry about your aunt

Apparently I have an irregular heartbeat. That’s what the 3 hearts mean. This machine plays a song while it measures!

I am fully vaccinated. Most of us in the family are. And to those worrying about symptoms, err on the side of caution. Things can go downhill really fast. My aunt was fighting a mild case, and was nearly done with it when pneumonia set in. My cousin, her daughter, is a nurse and took her to the hospital in the early afternoon. She was gone by midnight.
I work in the public school system. They're sending students and teachers home every day. I'm terrified to go back to work, tomorrow, but bills have to be paid ...

I haven't been on this thread for a looooong time, but since Covid's back in my life, I'm back here again. Omicron has been playing tag-team through my family since before Christmas. It took my aunt, last week - the dearest, sweetest woman I've ever been blessed to know. My 86 yo stepdad swore he had a cold and a minor sinus infection, until my Mom caught it and had to get a Covid test before the doctor would see her ... SURPRISE! That makes eighteen of "us" in three weeks - and no one caught it from each other except two spouses and one family of four. It's everywhere, friends. PLEASE be careful!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope everyone else is doing better.

Why would anything prescibe mess up the vaccine. Never heard that

I had a minimal reaction to the first shot. The second one pretty much laid me flat for three days. Doctor told me it was probably because I had already had Covid. Apparently the first shot primed my defenses and the second sent them into full-blown attack mode. Yay. Not. Still, I'd do it again. My guess is that we all will, once this becomes endemic, like the flu. At least, by then, we'll likely have treatments and weaker variants. {{ ... sigh ... }}

Topochico. It won’t let me start a convo with you. I would post it here but because of the censoring I really don’t want to
