Covid is still devastating lives...

My former 92 y/o client contracted covid 2 weeks ago, in the assisted care facility she was moved to in the Portland metro area. She's in hospice. I'm heartbroken.

A dear friend in Texas who welcomed her new grandson into the world 3 days ago, both his parents and my friend all tested positive for covid and feel awful today. All vaxd boosted and very careful, my friend is severely compromised, plus the new baby on the way. No one went anywhere unmasked. Please, please take this disease seriously.

Also, we welcome all good wishes, prayers, vibes, whatever you believe in or can find in your heart to send their way.

Also, we could use some good thoughts for the wildfire danger in southern Oregon and California. Red flag warnings are up, and there are already fires going. Please keep us in your thoughts. ❤❤❤

I just put my 86 yr old mother with dementia into memory care facility July 14th. As of last week outbreak started, facility back in lock down.
I'm in North Dallas.
If you don't mind sharing, where in Texas is your friend and her family? I went ahead and got my 2nd booster today.
This is out of control. People are getting sick that are fully vaxxed, boosted and masking. All because of knuckle draggers who refuse to mask, hanging out in bars, restaurants, concerts etc

I'll also send healing vibes your friends way along with to you.

on both sides of the country, vaxxed and boosted and managed to stay safe for 2 1/4 years, now all sick. One was very sick, re-bounded and now, finally, better. It’s *not* over.
