recently to my doc for my annual checkup the other day, the nurse while I was chatting to her (and I was thanking her for their sacrifices, all of them, during these extreme times that we live in), she did mention that most, if not all, of the people she handled w/ COVID, were for the most part, already suffering from other ailments.

Thus, another thing to keep on top of. If you take meds for other conditions, be very alert and wary, and be on top of your other health conditions. I know that some have said that other conditions (and statistics support this) are being ignored or not being paid the attention that they should be and people, as an unfortunate result, are passing away from these conditions.

I'm waiting for my fourth shot, if and when they ever approve it. I think that this will become an annual thing eventually, since it seems like that COVID mutates quite often.
