Good luck for your sister.
The epidemic isn't over, yet. It would be if everyone would just have some basic common sense and get vaccinate if you can and wear a mask if its going around in your area. Not much more difficult than if stopping when the stop light is red and going when its green.
My best wishes for your sister. Worrying all the time can drain you.

^^^^ Thanks.
She was on an IV and on oxygen. She's able now to get up to use the rest room on her own and she ate a little and is thinking of ordering food for dinner and she was able to call us and talk to us and she sounded better, but she's still wiped out of course.
Not out of the woods, but those are good signs.

I'm happy your sister is better. It will probably take her a while to be fully healed but she's heading in the right direction and that's great.

My sister and BIL are both back at work and feeling better.
I keep getting notifications via e-mail of positive results for COVID for co-workers for where I work. Almost every stinking day. Sometimes more than once a day. The vaccinated were allowed to go maskless for a while (I still wore mine when I was around others), but now we're back to everyone wearing masks. I'm so sick of this thing, aaAAARRGGGHH!!
I see comments online of people who still think it's a hoax, or if not a hoax, then still done on purpose to control people. I'm no fan of Big Pharma. I'm sure they do a lot for just profits and capitalize on things when given the opportunity (as do a lot of corporations and governments). But a lot of comments I see from people are that BP is "cashing in" big time on this and "withholding cures" so that they can milk this thing longer. I know that for some companies who produce the vaccines that their stocks might go up and stuff, but are these people implying that companies would withhold medicines - which would cost consumers gazillions of dollars - to keep promoting the vaccines, which, for the moment, are free? I don't get that reasoning. It might be different companies that have the medicines which could be considered cures, or at least treatments, than the ones who have the vaccines, but wouldn't THOSE companies be promoting their wares big time if they actually thought they would work? Little capitalistic competition and all? And if everything is for population control, then who the hell would be left to give these people money?
I don't get people's thinking sometimes.
I'm not saying never question authority or never try to find out what's really going on, but there is such a thing as taking things too far in the other direction. They don't trust government, and any thing they hear about or read that reinforces that they cling onto like a religion. These people are just swapping one group of "they" for another group of "they" in who they choose to listen to.

A man in La Crescenta, CA (an "adult", mind you) has been harassing middleschoolers outside their school, waiting for them to get out and going up to them and yelling at them for wearing masks and calling them cowards and "stupid" and the like. He even spit at and coughed on some, going up close to them. He was wearing a shirt that said "Your Masks Make You Look Stupid." Yeah, like that shirt makes you look real smart. Parents complained and one adult tried to intervene and the guy yelled at them saying "A grown adult wearing a mask - you look like a p*ssy!" (Paraphrasing, but he did use the word p*ssy).
When cops were called, one of the cops instead lectured the kids on "freedom of speech." Last I checked, there was no "freedom of harassment and spitting on kids".
The cops said they know who the guy is and are investigating. There is a video of him doing it. Just arrest the POS.
I really hate some people.

m.lasvegassun.com/news/2022/jan/27/when-a-medical-team-quit-this-hospital-sued-to-for/Here's one of my favorite stories about covid foolishness this month. A hospital desperate for employees did the unthinkable. It offered decent pay. 7 medical employees at a nearby hospital took the offer but not before going to their current employer and telling them that they'd stay if the hospital would match the offer. They live in an at will state where employers can legally fire someone for any reason that isn't specifically prohibited by law. And employees can quit jobs at any time and employers can't stop them. The hospital refused to match the pay. But then, the hospital that the employees were leaving sued the other hospital and got an injunction to force them not to hire the employees. It was if I can't have them you can't have them either. The judge gave them the injunction over the weekend and when the first hospital refused to do much of anything to fix the situation he dropped it. And employers can't figure out why its so hard to find employees now a days. Treating your employees like crap for years isn't the best way to keep them when they have the opportunity to get a better job.

thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/longevity/588738-huge-huge-numbers-death-rates-up-40-percent-over-preHere's another thing I find interesting. Insurance companies are paying out more death benefits policies than they expect to by a wide margin. One company said that they paid out 40% more than they expected to last year. Most of the payments were to people who weren't listed as having died of Covid. They suspect that many of them got long covid which dragged on for months and which weakened their bodies to the point where something else killed them. And this companies clients were working people under 65 for the most part.
