Please tell your elder loved ones to wear a mask and not be

around other people especially the unvaccinated for now.

No hyperbole

My vaccinated inlaws in their early 80s both contracted Covid. They have both had bad symptoms in and out of ER for weeks. Luckily my MIL seems to be recovering.

My FIL is in a hospital long term care center. He has a lung infection and he cannot walk. This morning he could not raise his arms. Yesterday he didn't know how to operate the remote. Based on what I read on Mayo, it will likely take months and months to recover, if he does.


No sympathy needed. Just hoping you will reach out to your own loved ones and warn them.

Fox News watchers. Both got vaccinated but they didn't take any kind of care about who they were around. Many have covid most unvaccinated. So it was either at a funeral or from one of the neighbors. Where they live is very common for people to just drop by. They didn't know it wasn't safe if you were vaccinated.
