A few months back, I asked the wife of one of my husband's friends (both late 60s and both whacked at least twice) about symptoms...This woman had been a nurse. So, uh, what were the symptoms that doctors seemed unable to treat -- you know, treat early before things got worse? Fever? Sore throat? Cough? Difficulty breathing? Headache? Runny nose? Fatigue?

As I went through the list, she started to get that "look", you know that look when somebody suddenly "gets" what you're saying? Her husband jumped in with something else -- and she never answered my question.

Last year, before we'd actually moved here, we saw these friends. This was March 2021 and they'd already been whacked. She still had her mask with her to put on when we went inside...This. A nurse...Anyway, while we're still in the car, I asked her, "What are people so afraid of?" Aghast at the question, she said, "What are they afraid of?? They're afraid they're gonna die!" To which I replied,

"They are. We all are."

Honestly, it's one of the most repulsive things I've ever witnessed in my life. I take that back. It is the most repulsive...
