I know this girl named Denise
She makes me weak at the knees
She drives a lavender Lexus
She lives in Queens
But her dad lives in Texas

...

I heard she used to be married
She listens to Puff Daddy
She works at Liberty Travel
She has a heart made of gravel

Loved that band.

Hey Julie is one of my favorite songs.

Agree 1000%

My daughter is an occupational therapist in suburban Baltimore.  Maryland passed a new emergency standard for PPE and patient interaction.   Her facility lacked the necessary PPE required to meet the new standard.   Yesterday, the 24 year old led her co workers in their discussions with the facility management since the OTs could be fined and jailed and lose their licences if they failed to comply.   

Today, they have all the gowns and masks they need and she volunteered for the Covid recovery wing in their facility.   


Feeling pretty good as a dad right now.

As you should! That's awesome

My 13 year old son has a classmate who has it (her dad is a doctor and also has it). She told my son, "it is low key the worst pain I have ever felt."

As well you should. She learned valuable  lessons about service for others from her Pop.

I am most proud of her participating in her first work stoppage for a cause.

It is great news.  They moved to the Rotterdam a few days ago with the other 'healthy' people.  My parents are hoping to get off the boat tomorrow morning and onto a plane back to Wisconsin.  Hopefully, they will be home by tomorrow afternoon or evening.  But then again, nothing about this has been easy, so I'll be taking the wait and see approach. 

Hoping for a swift conclusion to all of this.

I realize that it's really none of our business, Hards, but I've been wondering...

Hoping all is well.

They're back home, and healthy.  Mom is sewing masks, Dad is (hopefully) working on the bar that is going in my basement.

They had to drive from MN because the flights to Appleton kept getting cancelled.  Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers.

Mrs. Reinko's uncle on Long Island, 70, diabetic, just came off ventilator after about 7 days, still disoriented, but his #s trending in the right direction...🙏

Awesome news. Getting off a ventilator is a big deal.

Awesome news. Getting off a ventilator is a big deal.

It certainly is. Sounds like docs are getting a handle on how to treat this more effectively as they see more patients. Hopefully, that causes the rates of ICU admissions and deaths to decrease.

One of my long time friends just lost her father to covid.

[mu_hilltopper]

Co-worker's thirty-something sister died last week.  Two teenaged daughters.

One odd note .. "she tested negative twice, but doctors considered her positive because of the symptoms."

My boss has had symptoms and a fever for the last week. Went to urgent care yesterday, said it was likely COVID but unless he was in an ICU bed they weren't going to test him.

We've got a loooong way to go if that's still the approach to testing.

Wow - hope he does OK. Is that in WI?
