Woke up to no electricity at 4am and I'm still awake! We're back to loadshedding now in the midst of a pandemic so I'm thinking, what about those folk who are on oxygen at home! In hospital it's fine as they have generators.
What a touching and very apt description of 2020!
Your letter brought tears to my eyes Eric, what a year it's been!
Heard last night about my neighbour's best friend who died of Covid after only having it one and a half weeks aged 53, she was actually improving and suddenly a setback. Just so very sad! They think it's possibly this new variant that's brought about a new lockdown with strict curfews.
One of my best friends' sister is in a coma with it, her organs shutting down so it doesn't look like she's going to make it, she's only 59.
I honestly did not think we'd get to this!
Good that you managed to get your book published at a time like this and turned it into a positive!
Thank you for responding to this challenge Eric, wishing you and your wife a very good 2021!
I'm sorry to hear of your power outages! That happens to us when we're in St. Thomas almost on a daily basis. Hopefully those people on oxygen have battery back-ups. Here in the States I think it's a requirement if they rely on the supplement O2 for their survival.
Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear about your friends who you've lost and are still are suffering. It's such a mysterious virus, how it can be so severe with some of those outside of the high-risk groups. More than anything I'd love to know the truth about why it was created in that Wuhan lab. During the ordeal with my father we witnessed some truly appalling things going on in the long term care facilities that didn't make one bit of sense.
Not only were the patients' conditions not being attended to but not even their basic survival needs. When my Dad was transferred to the hospital they surmised he hadn't received fluids of any kind for about two days he couldn't have been getting nutrition either because he had been given no IV and no feeding tube. The Governor had issued a blanket immunity to these nursing homes and long term care facilities that absolved them of any legal repercussions. I feel that there's so much more to the story. This will continue to haunt me but I know the larger truth may never come out. All we can do is look ahead and move forward at this point.
Thank you again for the invitation, this was very cleansing. Wishing you and yours a healthy a prosperous 2021!
