Thanks. My Mom got her crying out last night. My Dad seems okay. My brother (Virginia) found out last night. I feel terrible, but the depression pills are stopping me from going full freak out. My brother is quarantining himself for 10 days before coming up for Christmas. He didn't come up for Thanksgiving, but my Mom says he HAS to come up for Christmas. Especially now. No one else is allowed in the house, not that we really have a lot of people over anyway.

I'm sorry man 😞 

 

Thank you all. I appreciate the kind words. You guys have helped me deal with the Trump mess and my anxieties connected to it. For that I am grateful.

Sorry Spidey.  PM me if you need anything like resources that I may still have bookmarked.  NCCN for one.  One of football buddy friends has this cancer.  I am not sure of his exact type or the names of the treatment he is getting.  Saw him over the summer and even though he is stage IV he is responding well and stable.

Thanks Di. I was going to PM you, but I figured letting people here know would be better. I will PM you once we know how bad it is, however.

Yes we shall.

(CNN)Since the beginning of the pandemic, Dr. Carlos Araujo-Preza spent his days caring for some of the sickest Covid-19 patients in Houston.

Months later, he was admitted to the same intensive care unit where he served as critical care medical director, infected with the same disease he treated in others.

On November 30, Araujo-Preza, a physician at HCA Houston Healthcare in Tomball, Texas, died from coronavirus, his daughter told CNN. He was 51.

So, if you get the vaccine are you able to carry and spread the virus?  This is an honest question as I don't know how these things work... I would think not but unsure. 

no

I'm sure this had to happen to other front line workers, but it never got press. This is why it's critical frontline workers must get vaccinated first.

They don't know yet

Based on what I've read and also on what medical experts have said, the vaccine would not allow the virus to replicate itself in your system so  you could not be a carrier. 

I'm wondering how many people will get Moderna's first dose and wind up getting Covid before the second.

Cancer sucks. Dealing with aging parents is never easy. Hang in there.

I'm trying. My Dad doesn't do a lot, but he definitely doesn't act like he's old. He still put up Christmas lights outside and my parents were able to get a tree and put it up without too much physical damage. My mom isn't in shape, but she's active (going for walks, doing the shopping, etc).

It's hard for me because my disability keeps me from being able to help them with physical things. I tend to think I'm a burden on them sometimes, but then it disappears.

It's usually around mid 80's when people start really slowing down, but something can come along (like cancer) and disrupt things before then.

Damn sorry to hear that man.  

So when this vaccine is available, is it free for any US citizen who wants to take it? 

This is why i pay taxes, right?
