I went to an outdoor birthday gathering. It was warm and beautiful. Until covid came up in the convo. My husband and I are the only ones in a group of 10 who think covid is still around. Everyone says it’s endemic. We have to live with it. I left the party.

The gal in the coffee shack at the golf course wasn’t feeling well. Sore throat. Did you test? No it’s not COVID. I already had it.

Took my 91yo dad to optometrist yesterday. I wore N95 and gave him one to put in. He took it off immediately when he saw no one else wearing one. I said I’m keeping mine on. The doc asked if she should put one on. I said yes please.

@misskarri1 Outdoors is 400-500. In my house it’s typically 6-700. Any higher I open windows. If guests are over everyone tests first and I always have fans, air purifiers and windows cracked. I don’t go anywhere indoors without masking.

@germanfrancie I’ll probably wear a mask forever. In public spaces. I test anyone who comes into my home for dinner. (Family). Hepa filters and windows cracked. Fans on. Most people I know aren’t as careful.

Thank you for all the good wishes. Laparoscopic surgery went well. No rupture. Angry appendix removed. Having a popsicle. Maybe home tonight.

@Aidan_Baron @LucyStn @ketaminh @drruthmitchell I am always crying in empathy. People ask why I am crying. I dunno. Because I see someone I don’t even know crying. It’s just my human response.

@jtrebach I am allergic to cats. Daughter brought home a Devon Rex. Supposed to be less allergenic. Nope. Doc said to get rid of cat. Family said to get rid of me.

My 44yo son in law has been admitted to hospital. He has systemic sclerosis with severe PH. On list for lung transplant but I fear we are running out of time. I’m scared.

@AirCanada I am disappointed. COVID is not over and now you are enhancing the spread. Two way masking is the best for reducing transmission.

Saw my son in law. After some set backs, he’s improving. 700ml drained from pleural space. Hooked up to about 8 IVs. And ventilator. My daughter needed a good sleep so I covered for her. 85 days in icu.

SARS-CoV2 is still everywhere. Consistently wearing a well fitting, high quality respirator in public places gives you a high level of protection. Anyone saying otherwise is full of sh*t. I've pretty much given up on others taking precautions so I go it alone & take pride in it.
