Rather alarming news as this is the closest the virus has come to me. I don’t go to mass every day, but, no doubt, I have passed by this person, whoever it is.

It won’t surprise me if they suspend Sunday mass this week. No doubt they are feverishly cleaning the cathedral now. Again.
So, we had some random priest for Sunday mass. He didn’t introduce himself or tell us why he was there & he left immediately after the mass.

So at rosary prayer this a.m., someone said our priest hasn’t been seen all week & there is some conjecture as to whether he is the person with COVID19. Rather alarming, but will be interesting to see if he returns for Sunday mass.

Terrible that someone has to resort to living like this. People don’t want to go into shelters & I do wonder how this person stays clean. Especially in this time of sickness.
So whoever put up the tent has packed it up & moved on. Thinking this was his own decision (he must have been freezing there) since no police car would be able to see it from the street. Only a pedestrian could see it.

Hard times.

I wish you an uneventful road to recovery.


My only testing experience thus far is indirect--I've donated blood twice in the last few months and they test it for antibodies and then let you know the results.

Sorry to hear this. I hope you get through it quickly and with little or no symptoms. Stay home, watch some great movies, and stay safe.

Sorry to hear, only positive I can think of (aside from having far more time for movies for a while) is that at least your isolation period will be over just before Christmas. Stay well.

I'm more annoyed thinking about how people with more wealth/privilege will find ways to jump the queue, so to speak.

I have a friend who is an Assistant District Attorney who specifically prosecutes medical fraud, and she was like, "Oh, yeah. That's a given."

It’s happened already with Trump, Giuliani, et al.

I went to CVS today and took my 2nd test.. I should have the results back Thursday.. I believe they are expecting me back to work on Friday but I have to make sure I have negative test results before I can return.

Tomorrow I'm going to the laundromat to wash all blankets to make sure no germs of covid may remain... washing them on hot and sneaking a bit of odor ban into my laundry detergent.

Don’t know the area (or much of Canada for all that matter) but this guy is dumb.

Hope you’re feeling better & that your 2nd test will be negative.

I found out today, through a mutual friend, that a woman I work with passed away yesterday from Covid 19. Nicki was always nice and would stop to talk. I never worked directly with her but we did have mutual co-worker friends.
