My sister has the hoax.

I'm not anywhere near her so I'm not at risk. I hope she'll be ok. She's not in the greatest physical shape. 64. Yes, she was vaxxed, and worked in a medical setting, so, did everything right, except she was in an office with elderly and fragile people.

If there is a god, he sucks.

4. She works in a medical office and knows docs personally, so, she doesn't need my advice.

She may not tell me all the details, so, I'll just wait to see how it goes. So scary.

My sister and her husband had it, and came out AOK, thank god. Also, my nephew had it too, all of them are centered around SW Missouri, a recognized hot spot (obviously!). They all are AOK, as well as the few friends that had it too. So I've been blessed that we have had no deaths that we know of, via family or friends of the family. My sister and husband even had their shots too. So at least the shots lessened the seriousness of the disease.
