Hoping you're on the mend, jodi. Sounds just miserable.

Sorry you are feeling bad. Hope the misery is over soon.
I thank you for the warning. Have relaxed my virus watch a little lately. Back
to masks.

Sorry to hear this. Did you get a flu test to see if tamiflu or some other anti-viral might help?

I too owe you thanks for this reminder to be more careful. I have been so sloppy in precautions I'm too embarrassed to describe it.

It's especially important for me to get CAREFUL, as my town is seriously COVID hit. I had stopped following the stats as I was, and just read on our "Nextdoor" site that we're experiencing a real surge. This is clearly a result of the students return especially since the blankety blank university didn't require vaccinations.

That and the enthusiastic bloody football season. With the latest stadium expansions,

quote:

Beaver Stadium has an official seating capacity of 106,572, making it currently the second largest stadium in the Western Hemisphere and the fourth largest in the world.
...

Also, for some reason our hospital completely changed management despite the known menace of Covid, also letting go about half the staff, to jack up their bottom line. Neighbors writing into the site report very long ER wait time and deteriorated quality of care.

Back to forbidding visitors and they also stopped using our many hundreds of volunteers. Not a good time to get the Virus.

For the uncountable-th time, I mourn the 1963 PSU decision to accept the 50 million $bribe grant from the Hershey Foundation to build the Penn State Medical School in Hershey PA instead of State College where it belongs.

So, thanks again Jodi. It's so easy to stop taking it as seriously as one ought, without first hand reminders. Tomorrow I'll call my most in-the-know neighbor, to learn if - G-d forbid - there have been any more deaths on our street.

(And wishing you a strong immune response. You surely deserve to avoid any more illness.)

I'm so sorry to hear you are sick, Jodi. Here's hoping that it doesn't last very long. "They" are saying that this year's flu might be a bad one, because so many of us have been shut up for the past year and our opportunity to build up natural immunities has declined.

I hope you're feeling better already. Nausea/fever is the worst.

I did not get the flu test, my second covid test (that was sent to the lab) came back negative yesterday. No fever this afternoon, but still a terrible cough if I move too quickly, and totally stuffed up. Sudafed helps. Feel like I’m on the other side of the worst, thank goodness. I am getting tired of TV and nighttime is depressing because the last thing I feel like doing is getting back in bed when I’ve been laying around all day! Need some netflix /Amazon prime binge suggestions.

An old production and it does have a few commercials because it’s IMDb, but I really enjoyed this.

How about some light Hitchcock?
