My mom's a badass! That's right you heard me!

My 86 year-old mother, in a dementia ward w/ Alzheimer's Disease, A-fib, and high blood pressure...

...has survived covid-19. After being diagnosed early last month, she has now had 2 consecutive negative tests.

Even the recklessness and willful ignorance of the orange dumbass in the WH couldn't take down MY MOM!!!

It's a weird bug. Some folks survive it. Some folks you wouldn't think it would touch die from it.

and then survived Covid, along with his not quite as elderly son. Some of us are just hard to kill.

They figure that one out, they'll figure this disease out.

My mother-in-law was diagnosed yesterday with Covid-19. She is 82, has dementia and many other health problems. She is in a nursing home - in the dementia ward.

That is great news!

We need to outlast this dumbass. Better times are ahead. We all need to be badasses.

I wonder if she had a low viral load and if some medications are protecting the elderly. I hope you inherited her strength.
