    My ex wife is an adult nurse practitioner specializing in lymphoma and leukemia at a university hospital and said fall baseball was fine for our son to play.  She also asked the infectious disease doctor she works with and he said it was a ok to play. For the record she is immune compromised. My son played and there were no issues.

    Yes, the unusual and backward thinking people (snowbirds) certainly flock to Florida. This morning I dropped off my lady's daughter at the Fort Lauderdale airport and it was packed. That's the curbside check in, most were wearing masks however social distancing was nonexistent. I wore my mask just to get out her luggage, here in South Florida one cannot take any chances.

  • While everyone seems to be focused on the total number of cases and deaths, no one is really talking about the covid survivors, many of whom have long term, damaging health effects that will be a burden for family, friends, the health care system and insurers. If you missed the 60 minutes piece on “The Long Haulers,” I suggest you catch it.

    Yeah, my sister in law is a nurse, too, and she thinks the whole thing is overblown hysteria. She thinks masks don't protect us, and she's also anti-vaccine. So there's that to consider when I listen to her opinions.

    I missed that part; catching the oldsters portion now. Would’ve been interested to watch that segment.

    How can someone be a nurse and an anti-vaxxer? That doesn’t seem to make sense

    Not from tonight's show, but basically the same from 60 Minutes in Australia.

  • Take extra care all my American friends.  You are wise to be cautious and stay home.

    My chiropractor didn't like the mask idea (but gave in and started wearing one, probably because he knew he would lose a lot of clients), and also is big into sending kids back to school to encourage "herd immunity".  When I hear things like this from people I have long regarded as having good medical knowledge, I get this glazed look and fog in my brain and begin to wonder what is real and what isn't.  And one again, I think of that phrase, "You can't believe half of what you see and none of what you hear."  Reality loses it's grip.  The rabbit hole opens.  The void beckons, and I run like hell.

  • Great breaking news from u.k
    Oxford vaccine is ready and works and is safe. And its best given in half dose first so would double capacity  to reach many people faster. The cavalry is on the  horizon.  Stay safe for a small while more  a few months and hope is coming .

    Its the uk one. Astrazenica and oxford university.  Its the flu jab basically  but  for covid .  Im very optimistic about it as unlike the usa ones.  This is old science  and not a new kind altogether.
