This is nowhere near over. My family has been hit

[Shanti Mama]

My "elder" uncle is in the hospital, but not (yet?) on a ventilator.

When will people get it that this will be with us for a long time and we need to be smart.

6. We just had another death here last night

Very sad situation and yes, you are so right. This is not going anywhere anytime soon. To think otherwise is plain stupid.

Thanks for the warning btw!

7. I'm so sorry about your uncle

Hoping for the best for your family.
My step-brother's father died last week from COVID complications, as did a co-worker's husband. And two of my middle school students are currently hospitalized. People need to realize that the pandemic is not over just because they are bored or want a haircut.

9. Hoping he recovers very soon. U R correct

About what is ahead, by how I understand the situation.

[niyad]

10. I am so sorry to hear about your uncle. Hoping for a good outcome.

As for your question? The cultists will deny and deny, even if they themselves contract it. They will deny to their last breath.

12. My mother in law

tested positive several days ago. Not in the hospital yet. So far, so good. I hope this trend continues.

She is in a long term care facility. Talking to her right now. Please stay safe everyone. This is a long haul.

16. Good thoughts to anyone, or their family members, dealing with this infection.

But anyone that takes medical advice from Trump or his spawn, while I don't necessarily wish ill upon them, is seriously eff'ed in the head. Part of me thinks I'm seeing a change in the wind in the press corp to the deference to the office. There seems to be more "what the hell" is this maroon talking about from the press lately. But then again, there are still a few WH reporters hedging their bets, so to speak, trying to play this out that anything this idjit says should be taken seriously. For those individuals, is the invite to the WH pressroom or briefings really worth sacrificing any integrity you may have?

And unless this virus mutates into something innocuous, which isn't bloody likely, the idea that it's just gonna "disappear" is completely delusional - which seems to be SOP currently in the WH & GOP. This could be around for years. Think the common cold, herpes or AIDs - all viral infections that we have had limited/mixed success in fighting.

17. Hoping for the best for your family member

[BobTheSubgenius]

18. I'm so sorry to hear it.

I hope all of you are fine.

[Warpy]

19. I hope he doesn't need a ventilator

They're finding many people do as well or better with high flow O2, CPAP or BiPAP, which are all far less invasive. The determining factor is how much CO2 he is retaining.

No, this is not over, not even close.

20. Hoping your uncle recovers soon.

My cousin, who works in a nursing home, also contracted the virus. She is 10 years younger than me. She said that for a while she really didn't think she was going to make it.

I think sooner or later we are all likely to be touched by this plague.

Stay well.

[marble falls]

21. I am very sorry to hear this. You are part of our family and so is your uncle.

[Magoo48]

22. Peace

[sheshe2]

23. Healing vibes for your Uncle.

Stay safe, Shanti Mama.

[MissMillie]

24. I absolutely know your fear

There's nothing anyone can say to make it better.

Remember to keep yourself safe so you can be there for your loved ones.
