I'm within a mile of the George Floyd fiasco. When we got married we lived one block from this Hospital while my wife was in RN nursing school. (that was the best school at the time....in the hospitals). Anyway....back in those days the problems here were with lots of American Indians in our neighborhoods and some racial mixed stuff....but all in all it was just a mix of rough neighborhood. Fast forward to now.....and it's heavily populated by Somaliis (everywhere) and quite a large black population. BLM signs are everywhere. George Floyd signs and I can't Breath are everywhere. Shrines for Floyd, etc.
The last time my wife was in this hospital was 18 years ago.....and I stayed in a hotel that was connected to the hospital. It was burned during the riots....and there is talk that the damage is too extensive and they likely will tear it down and rebuild it. <----- I NEVER SAW THAT ON ANY NEWS PROGRAM.
Almost everyone that works here drives 1/2 hour or much more to work each day. If they were to lose this hospital....that would be devestating to the area. Dumb bunnies.
I think when folks beached the capitol they were off base.....but folks were protesting the kinda chit like above too....and I think many figured this was the last ditch effort to keep sanity in the White House. Black, Capitol Police officer today on house report (CNN) says nobody ever called him the N word to his face before until the "riot" at the capitol. Well....fellah...I been called all kinds of racial slurs by our African American "friends" over time.
Nutshell: I'm not sure I did a good job of relating these two scenarios together above......but that is the racial issues we face IMO. Likely takes more than a few paragraphs to tie these events. The whole covid thing plays into this ordeal as well.

Lots of masks and full face shields driving down the roads from there to here. Felt like unrolling the window and throwing my beer cans at them for something to do. What is going on now?

My son in law and his family all had covid. He is getting vaxed.....as that is the only way for him to work at the place he is employed. He mostly works from home (and says he is more productive there and it costs him less to commute, etc) but he likes to go in to the office to stay connected with his co-workers once in a while.
Biden is trying to make federal employment VAX dependent. Buncha chit.
I spent a long conversation this afternoon with an Internal Medicine Doctor here at the hospital. This Dr knows her stuff. She is against any government forced vac's especially for our youth. No need. She also claims that hydroxy cloriquin has a big effect on treating the covid as do many other meds. Was very adamant about CDC putting out bad intel. Was taken back by her candid talks. Yowsir! You guys are much in line with what she said here. Use your Doctor for advice. Follow your instincts.....the CDC is politically motivated.....or otherwise "sick" from bad intel.

There has only been one nurse who was all about Covid and the world will end because of it. I think she was having a bad day and lightened after getting to know us. The rest don’t buy into the hype, don’t enforce the mask wearing, and don’t wear masks themselves. They all say at no point was the hospital overrun with covid they are just overrun in general.

Everyone in the hospital is wearing masks. A few faceshileds. Patients wear a mask in the hallways....but not in their rooms.
My wife got 10 units of red blood, 11 units of plasma, and 4 or 5 units of platelets. That was allot of blood transfusion.
Asking if this would reduce the effects of her vax. Internal medicine Dr said no. Stays with you. Art??....or other intel??on this?

How's your wife feeling?

How's your wife feeling? There are those memory cells and a whole lot of other thing involved in the immunity system besides just those antibodies in the blood. I recently read where a natural infection also leads to those memory cells.

^^. Thanks guys. That is what I was able to find on a quick glean of the internet on this topic.....and kinda what the DR said. My curiosity was just on alert. My wife is doing fantastic at this point. She is off every kind of tube, wire, medication, oxygen, and the only thing remaining is to get a bit better appetite. But even that is returning after a bit of nausea yesterday. She does not tolerate some of the med she had to take due to a high white cell count. That is now better too. We MIGHT go home tomorrow....or for sure on Tuesday. It's a matter of getting some final x-rays and tests done before her Surgeon releases her. She is walking without much assistance and getting stronger by the hour. Heart rate and vitals are excellent. Been 12 days so far.....and it will be good to go home. Nothing like sleeping in your own bed.

Father in law has been in the hospital the last week. Vaccinated, got covid. Doing good. His heart isnt great. he was able to go home tonight.
We were at the cabin this weekend. Last night the neighbor came over for beers. We got talking about vaccinations.... He is 71 and when we said we werent vaccinated we got that slight tongue lashing that we hadnt gotten the shots.... then we told him my wifes dad was laying at north Memormial hospital due to covid even though he had the vaccination.
Hilarious how his tune changed!!!!!!!!!

Hilarious how his tune changed!!!!!!!!! Mysterious shit going on here. No doubt. Still....at this point you gotta admit.....Vax is showing far better results than non-vax. Wanna live thru it?.....vax it. IMHO.That said....not so sure for younger population. If I die tomorrow....throw me in a hole and put a marker on me. I had a great run at it. FORE! . (Just dont ship me off to science....as we all know you cannot trust science.) Reminds me of a song by the Doors back in the day:..... "something happening here....what it is aint exactly clear.....theres a man with a gun over there....telling me I got to beware.....time to stop children what's that sound?.....yadda yadda.... Edit: OK so it was Buffalo Springfield....(what do I know?....I'm getting old )

Edit: OK so it was Buffalo Springfield....(what do I know?....I'm getting old ) They still won’t give us any data on non vac’s who have had the disease. There are many of us in my rural community. I would suspect 50% have had the disease as I talk to my neighbors. In various households 2/2, 2/2, 2/3(the third was on ivomec), 2/2, 1/1, 3/3, 2/2. I suspect all of us, vax and non vax will experience some sort of infection until they finally get vaccine perfected, if ever. I suspect it will end up like the flu vaccine.
