Appreciate you providing the excerpt

This is very serious stuff not to be taken lightly

I do believe a great majority of DUers already know the reality of our current situation, but this is nevertheless a timely reminder, and is also good reading for those of us experiencing some “covid fatigue”, eh? —— yeah...we’re not quite “done” just yet...

Be well, my friend!

This important. A friend who lives here in summer showed up questioning just how unsafe it is. I gave them a mini lecture and since they were gloating about being news-free for over a week, I told them they needed to start paying attention again and catch up. They were unaware of recent findings that impact how we interact and about who is getting and dying from this... both of which are fluid for the time being.

PARTY NIGHT!
What is it these twenty something’s don’t get?

... and then we're supposed to get over it and move on after some hand-wringing and speeches.

==========

Friday night, crowded restaurants, beer gardens, etc. No one wearing a face mask. Wake County needs to require masks; Durham and Orange counties (Chapel Hill) already do. Big spike in cases coming to NC.

They are, almost every one, horrible. And some very young, previously healthy people are going to have lung problems for life, if they live.

This is no joke.

It will impact hundreds of millions of people worldwide, at the least.

Stay safe, (well, as safe as you can).

The clan is gathering, or rather, his large part of it. There's a couple of birthdays coming up, a high school graduation, and on and on. Sounds like a whole lot of fun to me, lots of grandkids and hugs, bbq, buffet, a certain amount of booze... Just a nice couple of early-summer weekends in Ventura.

We declined.

These are not stupid people, but this is stupid behavior. Writing about it now, I just want to cry.

for take out, in SW AZ, blood red and COVID-19 Central (exponential growth). Not one employee was wearing a mask. I asked the cashier whether she knew what the infection rate was in the area. Got a blank stare.

Last time I'm going there for a while (they used to wear masks).

Most of the fast food joints (especially Burger King and Dominos) have been marketing everything around no contact safety.

😳
there's going to be a real, real harsh awakening one day for these folks,
that there is no return, nor normal anymore .. still clinging to their 'white privilege' and crumbling fantasies, as their totems are yanked down ..

Nobody can work 24 hours non-stop. There needs to be relief support and you guys answered the call. Thank you! The experience you gained in New York will help make you better doctors in California or wherever. Thanks!

the MORE we have to seclude because the likelihood of spreading is growing exponentially.
