Thing that's carpy about NYT, why I copy and paste quotes from them, is nobody can read more than the first paragraph on their site unless you have a subscription, so no one here without paying for NYT can see more than a few sentences of what u posted.

I'm doing well, treating the asthma and improving. Out of quarantine too! Seeing the Dr. tomorrow, we'll see about the persistent cough...
So many folks out there without either the vaccine on board, or a face mask. Infuriating!!!

So sorry for your loss. My next door neighbor passed away a couple of weeks ago from covid. She was in the hospital for about 3 weeks. It was a real roller-coaster of emotions for the family, it seemed like everyday the prognoses was different, until the day she passed.

Way back in the beginning I doubted that a vaccine would be 100% effective due to the rapidity with which coronaviruses mutate. It's a fact that the vaccines are not a 'save all - cure all'. They are just one step in protecting ourselves. Social distancing and common sense are still necessary. Sad that the death of your co worker points out this fact.
