Hi there my dear friend. I remember you telling me that. I pray they are doing well, and that it will continue.
Our children, and grandchildren have been wonderful.
It's been very hard on them not having physical contact with us, but they know they must stay away They are trying their best to isolate themselves too, and heeding all precautions.
So we are in constant contact with them either by phone, Skype or texts.
What does worry us though is my brother has been living with us this past year. Hes 58, and his career is essential for the coronavirus so he goes to work 5 days a week. At his company they have around 60 there. The company makes it mandority they each must do exactly as the guidelines say. They are no longer doing meetings in person, and it's by phone conference only. No one is allowed to come into anyone else's office during the day, and they have shutdown their inhouse cafeteria
My brother is somewhat of a germaphobe anyway, and a clean freak. So when he comes in for the day he takes his shoes off outside, sprays them down with lysol to dry. Of course he immediately comes in, and takes his shower. We are all making sure we wash our clothes on a daily basis. They are saying it's a good idea for everyone to do that since they could have walked in an area where someone with it had coughed or sneezed.
But we do worry since my brother must go to work, and can bring it home no matter how safe he tries to be.
My hubby had 3 cases of very good masks before this hit. So he is using a mask, and gloves if he must go to a store or pharmacy trying to be extra safe. If we hadn't had them already we sure wouldnt be buying them when so many need them.
My doctors are filling my prescriptions without me coming into the offices now since they have me at high risk.
I'm supposed to go back to the cardiologist at Phoebe the first week of April, but if we are still in the dangerous hotspot like now, I will refuse to go. The meds given all have at least 1 refill.
Everyone in America must do all we can to protect ourselves, and just as importantly to protect all others.
If it continues to community spread it will most likely be from millions who refuse to change their normal daily activities, and our health care workers, and all frontline responders will continue to come in contact with those who have it.
Iirc, 30 healthcare workers as of this weekend at Phoebe may be positive with the virus, and awaiting the test results. If so, its being spread inside the hospital as well who is trying to contain it. Sigh.
Its appalling to see so many unwilling to make any sacrifices for the good of all people, and instead are so self absorbed caring about no one, but themselves.
I dont see how they can live with themselves knowing this is truly a life, and death situation.
Please be safe everyone! I deeply care about each one of you.
Jmho
How are you feeling, any better?
