Have to agree.  

 

Here in Maine the annual flu is taking a good strong hold. 

There's also a viral and/or bacterial issue being spread rampantly around schools in particular.  

 

 

Folks .. 

 

Be safe. 

 

Not stubborn.  

 

I have difficulty remembering to stick to my own words.

In response, I shrug and think to myself "hey, if they enjoy being sick, let 'em".

Me, I don't like it so I'll take steps to avoid it!

I work 2 days a week at a hospital. Unless I'm in my office, shop or mechanical room, mask has to be on.

I don't object to anyone's choice to wear or not wear a mask. However, I'm fully vaxed, have recently had Covid, have had my flu shot and I refuse to wear a mask unless it is required to get into a doctor's office, and then some require, some don't. I just had a root canal yesterday, no mask required. Just went to my urologist on Monday, no mask required. Went to a Chinese restaurant and the sign said masks required. I ate Mexican.

In SE PA, flu and RSV have been hitting hard among all age groups.  Local hospital beds are filled to capacity, especially pediatric ones.  My niece had to cancel a cruise because she tested positive for covid (mild symptoms).  RVS and flu has killed a few people around here.  I've had my flu shot and 5 covid shots, but I still try to avoid crowds.   I refuse to shop weekends close to Christmas.   We buy Christmas gifts on line if possible.   Still keep hand sanitizer in my cars.   I hate wearing masks too, so I just avoid crowded stores.   At 80 years old, I have to be careful.

My wife and I will be flying in two weeks and will be masked for the whole trip from CT to El Paso.  If there's a shot we've got it.

Lost a dear friend to the flue and pneumonia this morning. She had not gotten her flue shot and had just returned from a vacation two weeks ago. They were around crowds of people at the theme park just got home when she began to feel poorly.

Moral of the story is get your shots and seek medical attention right away if you feel poorly.

Sorry for your loss and could not agree more.

Sorry for your loss Richard, that never feels good to hear.  We believe though, that our maker has a plan for us no matter how we go.  We’ve chosen to not live our lives in fear and believe that there is a plan.  Ignorance, or faith, it’s working so far.  I know it’s a decision that’s not for everybody’s situation, but that is the choice we’ve made.
