thousands of times across this Country, among many others. And ironies of irony, mostly avoidable by simply wearing a mask. Just think of it, if we had all worn a mask (all of us) for two solid weeks at least, the CV for the most part would be gone. Unfortunately, I speak of a world not in our reality yet (the 100% wearing of masks, other measures to slow the spread of the CV, etc.).

My heart goes out to this mother and her 2 year old. I wish them the best.

And I very rarely pray.

Hopefully everything will be ok.

Too bad she can't track down some of those miscreants and lick their doorknobs, or something. Spit in their faces, perhaps.

got covid at school, passed it on to her 6 siblings and then both parents got it. The children recovered with minor symptoms, but the parents are still feeling fatigued. They were among the fortunate ones who did not have to be hospitalized. But imagine a houseful of children and adults all sick at once.

Don't know how many others at the school might have been affected, or who was the source.

All three had masks, but one woman's mask was beneath her nose. Without thinking I said, emphatically. "Masks Up! Without any equivocation she immediately pushed her mask above her nose. I don't know if she was was intentionally disregarding public health, but there was no way I would allow her to endanger anyone for her carelessness. It's amazing how this pandemic has brought out strength and care for the greater good. I wish we had not had to have this life lesson, but I'm glad to know I'm not afraid to stand up.
