yes, we still like to talk and vent.....
Based on our numbers and both the county wide and city wide curfews I feel fortunate that in the sticks where I live and zip code we have only had 412 cases since March and in the Zip code where I work 158 so living in the country certainly helps and we do not venture into the city we wear masks, as we take care of Sharon's Bed ridden mom as well

The Dr. Who of the TSC
For months, I went without personally knowing anyone who was infected with symptoms. Then our next door neighbors both got it and fortunately recovered. Then a guy I’m working with (remotely so no contact) also tested positive and is feeling totally wiped out. It’s clearly getting worse and these vaccines can’t get here soon enough.
I went to a friends Facebook page to see if he was home yet. He went into the hospital after I did and I had spoken to him a couple weeks ago. His fight did not end successfully. Had I checked yesterday I would have made his memorial service. They had trouble even getting a funeral home to come get him and they (the funeral home) insisted on cremation. He’s had COPD issues for years. But he was so strong, I couldn’t imagine this taking him down. Sorry guys. Just writing to get these thoughts out of my brain so I can sleep.
Sorry to hear about your friend.
Rich, So sorry to hear this. Thought are with you.

Condolences Rich.
I didn't know you came down with it too, glad to know you're on the mend.
This thing really sucks.
That is so sad to hear.

Same here. A couple of very distant acquaintances up to very recently. Found out last week a close colleague in NJ had just recovered, my team mate's father had it (later dying of non covid complications), and both my Uncle and Aunt in Spain. Aunt still in hospital and recovering but uncle died of pneumonia (we think. It's hard to tell if covid or not. Same end result)

That’s tough to hear Rich. We were certainly very worried about you and your family, hearing stories about friends who didn’t fare so well is a stark reminder of what could have been or might be for others. All I know is I am thankful for and celebrate YOUR recovery and the recovery of those others who are in my circle ... I celebrate the wins I can because there are/will be hard losses to mourn. Sorry for the loss of your friend Rich.
Getting the Moderna vaccine this afternoon after work. A few colleagues have gotten it (Pfizer version) already. Not trying to start a vaccine discussion/debate, just adding to relevancy the thread.

Sore arm the day after for both. One was pretty tired for a day. They received them on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Perfectly fine by day 2 afterward
Officially vaccinated! .... until I get the 2nd one in 4 weeks 
No! But my flu shot needle felt about that big! RN educator who should have probably retired a decade ago poked a nerve or something!

Sometimes there is a silver lining: my wife, who works at administrative assistant for a medical group practice, switched to working remotely from home when the pandemic started, and she was told recently by the doctors that she will be able to continue her working from home - which she loves - indefinitely, even after the pandemic disappears.
