1. Joe I am sending you some Hail Mary's right now.

Please don't get sick.

[agingdem]

2. I'm 74 years old and I've had covid 3 times

and, yes, I'm vaccinated and boosted (3)..I wear a mask whenever I leave my house (I intend to be buried in mine)...the last time I tested positive for covid I was touring Canada with my daughter...at the time, masks were only mandatory in airports/airplanes/train stations/trains but nowhere else...

I can tell you restaurants, with the tables once again crammed together, diners coughing, is a covid Petri dish, and that's where I contracted covid, again...if Joe tests positive he'll have a hell of a "cold" but he'll recover, just like the last time.

6. My dad died 4 weeks ago of Covid. He was 74 years old, vaccinated, boosted, and healthy

Not everyone recovers. It was the worst death you could ever imagine too. I have such terrible PTSD from watching my beloved father die in agony of this horrible virus.

He injured himself doing some concrete work on our front step, had to go to the hospital, caught Covid at hospital, and just kept getting worse until he died.

[bdamomma]

7. oh

my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Crappy Covid it's still out there.

[electric_blue68]

8. How horrific! My deepest condolences. 😔

[lucca18]

[murielm99]

24. I am so sorry.

[SheltieLover]

25. Deepest condolences to you

[Evolve Dammit]

27. I'm so sorry to hear that. Please take care. This virus is not "over" or done in any way.

[Uncle Joe]

39. I'm sorry for your loss liberal mama

[StevieM]

42. I am so sorry for your loss. (eom)

[yonder]

44. I'm sorry for the loss of your dad.

[MontanaMama]

47. My deepest condolences on the loss your father.

[BigmanPigman]

50. I appreciate your information!

I wish more people would relate circumstances like you have experienced.

I told my doctor about 2 months ago that I was hesitant about getting some requested but not necessary tests in a hospital for fear of getting Covid, even though I wear my trusty, uncomfortable N95 every time I am in public. Being uncomfortable means that it is tight (which is a good thing). I thought he was going to tell me I was being paranoid and ridiculous but when I told him that I have read about people, like your dad, getting it even though vaxxed, etc he understood and was almost congratulatory that I keep up with current info and took it seriously.

[49erCat]

51. I'm so sorry! How horrific.

[AntivaxHunters]

45. Covid is NOTHING like a cold

Absolutely nothing like a cold and over 1 million have died of Covid. We're averaging mass death still each & every week.
My mom was 71 when she died of Covid.

[agingdem]

53. I'm sorry for your loss

I had Covid 19 prior to the lockdown.. difficulty breathing took a backseat to septic shock and the real possibility of losing a limb..I've had the omicron variant twice...compared to weeks spend in a hospital that specialized in skin grafts, omicron was a very bad cold..

[AntivaxHunters]

55. 50k deaths since August

[agingdem]

57. and yet, very few people wear masks

it's infuriating...I will say this, I rather enjoy the anonymity of a mask...

[AntivaxHunters]

58. Yep it's infuriating

[WarGamer]

3. I Just beat my 2nd or 3rd run with C19.

They'll all be fine.

[Evolve Dammit]

28. Some won't. n/t

[WarGamer]

30. I'm just staying positive... but yeah, you're right.

[Evolve Dammit]

34. Just looking at the numbers and recognizing that many have compromised immunity for many reasons.

[RockCreek]

38. So compromised immunity makes it OK that they are "in the numbers"? N/t

[Evolve Dammit]

59. What are you talking about?

[MontanaMama]

49. Really?

Did you read post #6 from a DUer who recently lost her dad to Covid? Vaxxed and boosted. No…many will not be “fine”.

[WarGamer]

54. Like I said above... trying to stay positive. Yes I know some are still dying...

[Cha]

4. Hope Not.. TY nt

[liberal_mama]

5. If you don't wear a good mask, & attend indoor dinners, you will probably just keep getting Covid

over and over again. I live in New York State and know many people on Covid infection #5.

I feel like I live in an alternate universe.

I have to go to the doctor tomorrow (I'm high risk, I have diabetes, lupus, RA, and Psoriasis) and I'm dreading seeing all the sick unmasked and coughing people who will be in the waiting room. People can't even have the consideration to mask in a doctor's office!

Having just lost my beloved father to Covid 4 weeks ago today, I don't know how much more I can take. I feel like I'm losing my mind with grief and anger.

[Walleye]

10. So sorry. That's terrible. I sure hope you avoid it

[XanaDUer2]

12. I caught covid in August in

A mask-optrional doctors office waiting room. From a woman within 3 feet of me who took her mask off complaining about allergies. I'm so pissed I don't want to go back. The medical assistant was unmasked, yakking in my face. Brought it home to a 70 yr old. I was terrified

He had 2 courses of paxlovid. Seems okay, with some SOB.

[Grasswire2]

14. Wouldn't get away without a mask in clinics here.

Why is that allowed?

[Rebl2]

41. Went to

get blood work done at my rheumatologist office today and it was mask optional. I kept my mask on and the gal that drew my blood and one of the front desk employees had a masks on. Two other patients had masks on. There were few patients in office though. Most employees didn’t wear masks. It’s strange because many patients that come in have compromised immune systems so was surprised to see mask optional. My Mom’s nursing home has had an outbreak of Covid since mid September, although it slowed down in late October. The other day I checked and they had a couple new cases. I think during that September, early October outbreak they had eight people die. You can’t tell me it is over!!!

[Nevilledog]

16. ...

[Mr.Bill]

22. All the doctors here require a mask

before you enter the building.

[Tanuki]

33. Oh, that is such sad news. I'm really sorry he, and your family and friends

had to go through that and that he didn't make it. He did everything he was supposed to. Wishing you peace and blessings as you heal from this very great loss. Thank you for taking the time to remind us not to become complacent.

[vanlassie]

40. Please don't step into that waiting room.

Let them call you on the phone while you wait in car. Better yet ask them to admit you through any back door if any.

[LuckyCharms]

46. I'm in Upstate NY

I see a lot of doctors. and every office I walk into has multiple signs taped to the entrance door along the lines of ABSOLUTELY NO ENTRANCE WITHOUT A PROPERLY FITTED MASK, EVEN IF YOU ARE VACCINATED.

I'm discouraged to hear that it is not this way statewide.

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. It's so difficult. I lost my brother to it.

Hang tough, mama. You're going to be OK.

[Meowmee]

56. Don't go and ask for a virtual appointment

No doctor should be risking your life that way. I think my endo office started that too. Unbelievable. Lost my beloved father also and I will never forgive this country and all those responsible. This country and so many people here are crazy and or very narcissistic.

[tishaLA]

9. OT but what are those percentages?

In the group of tweets with the dark background it has "Normal" and then a percentage next to it. Is that some new Elmo Munch twitter thing?

[Kingofalldems]

15. There is a nasty cold going around the DC area.

Highly contagious too as I am always masked and still got it. I tested myself twice so it wasn't Covid, plus I never had a fever. My throat was freaking killing me for 3 days though, then it dropped into my chest. It was completely gone in 7 days though.

[DET]

32. Yup

We all have it.

[Wounded Bear]

17. On MSNBC they said he has tested negative at least once...nt

[Ziggysmom]

19. RSV is on the rise here in the upper Midwest. Older adults and people with chronic

health problems are at increased risk of developing complications like pneumonia. For average, healthy people it presents like cold symptoms. I sure hope Joe will be OK.

[IronLionZion]

20. Is everyone excited for Thanksgiving?

Tis the season for indoor unmasked dinners

[Evolve Dammit]

29. no

[jonstl08]

21. This makes the election results that much more signifcant

Not an expert on constitutional law so If I am wrong please correct me. If god forbid something terrible happens to President Biden and he passes away or cannot function and resigns. Kamala would be President and she would pick her VP. Senate stayed with Democrat control so they would confirm the pick. Under the GOP control they could refuse to confirm the pick and McCarthy (if speaker) would be next in line.

Am I right

If I am wrong please let me know.

[Mariana]

37. Appointment of a Vice President requires both Houses to approve.

The Constitution of the United States, Amendment XXV, Section 2:

Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

[SheltieLover]

26. Healing vibes on the way to Joe! 💓💓💓

[iemanja]

31. My best to President Biden and Prime Minister Hun Sen

[Tanuki]

35. And Naomi Biden's White House wedding is this weekend!

I hope it's just a cold.

[Texin]

36. Indoor unmasked dinners with others outside a family ARE dangerious.

That's why I've refused to to go out since late November of 2019. I was already hearing about what was going on in China from someone on Twitter who was living and working there at the time. And it's why I haven't had but a couple of people inside our home beginning after my second Covid booster. I can't trust the safety of someone else if I don't know their vaccine status. I just will not dine in a restaurant. Frankly, I've all but lost any great desire to do so. And my husband I used to dine out a couple of times a month. There's one wonderful French bistro that has a great outdoor patio, and I probably would consider that but not with another couple or any family members. I did contract Covid back in early July. My husband brought it home to me, probably from him having been exposed in a restaurant where he weekly dines with some of his buddies for lunch. We both had a light case each, but it wasn't fun.

All I know is that after my third boost with the Moderna co-valent vaccine, it knocked me down for about a day yesterday. I'm back to normal, but if a vaccine can do that, I'd hate to think what an infection with of these new variants might produce.

Biden likely has some faint, lingering protection derived from his previous infection and the subsequent rebound one.

[BrightKnight]

43. Praying for Biden and a pre-Thanksgiving booster is probably a good idea. nt

[Meowmee]

52. Should be masking
