Hi Jim--glad to hear from you and to hear your cruiseship does not have a bunch of covid. Our circle is quite small--I only know one woman whose husband has died from it. He had refused to be vaccinated, was in good health,and thought his Faith would protect him. A close friend now personally knows six people who have died from covid --4 were not vaccinated, 2 were "break through" cases. One couple she knew, the husband had died from Covid, his wife was sick--their daughter begged her Mom to go to the hospital, the Mom said "no it's just regular flu" --the next morning she was found dead. Other people have light cases, but she also knows of some who had the more severe type and were in the hospital.
My friends who work for clinics and hospitals in my city say their ICUs and covid wards are almost full. A few hours from us, Green Bay WI is getting help from the US Navy to set up additional covid wards in because theirs are now full. It's spreading because people thought it was almost over and began socializing and going to large events more. t's worth doing what we can to avoid getting it.We got our boosters, wear masks, and avoid shopping in crowds.
JoAnn--good to hear you have some help with things--clearing out is a lot of work. My friend in an assisted living likes it very much.
Gail--7 Christmas trees, so festive! You must have a storeroom just for Christmas trees and decor! DH is kind of a grinch, so I'm the one who decorates, I don't do as much I used to.
