10. But the impact of the pandemic affects others. Perilously.

My octagenarian neighbor -- who was vaccinated back in February -- is in the hospital right now, but he and his wife are struggling to get him the care he needs. At first, they refused admission from the ER last week, and sent him home. Where his condition got so bad that the paramedics took him right back this weekend.

The hospital is seriously understaffed. The staff are overwhelmed and exhausted.

A minute ago the wife called me after speaking with the attending doctor. He broke his pelvis a week ago today and they're just now bringing in a specialist.

I hold the MAGATs who refuse to mask-up or get jabbed responsible for contributing to this sheer, shrieking healthcare-nightmare!
