Cuties, prayers are needed. The one I made the quilt top for just text me that her husband tested positive for Covid. They had gone to a funeral 8 days ago and some of the people that went are now developing Covid. Marty tested positive this morning when he went to urgent care because of cough and congestion. We were with them Wednesday when we bought his quilt.
I haven’t said anything lately because we all need cheerful news not depressing news. Our governor got on TV the other day and said our state has the most new cases per capita in the US. It makes me mad because the hospital here is letting family visit Covid patients! I know this for sure because the ex-mayor of our village got COVID, and his wife and middle son. The middle and youngest son are both in wheelchairs CP and they used to ride my bus. The middle son and mom had to be hospitalized. The youngest then got it but wasn’t hospitalized. The oldest son visited the middle one and the dad visited the mom in hospital. Then the oldest got it. ( how stupid of the hospital and the family)
When the father called my friend, because they didn’t give much hope for wife, he wanted my friend which is his SIL to go with him to hospital. My friend felt bad for telling him No but she knew she didn’t want to be exposed. I told her I can’t believe the hospital is letting them in nor can I believe the husband was selfish enough to ask someone to expose themselves. The mom lived and is still recovering but sadly the middle one died. He was 39 years old.
The news reports say our numbers are up because only a third of the state are vaccinated. That may be part of the problem. I think our numbers are up too because of hospitals are allowing Covid patients visitors. What happened to quarantine?
Well I just text our kids and told them we are self quarantined for 2 weeks. Pray for Marty & Martha but pray we don’t develop symptoms. Also, little Rylan has cough & fever today. They hoping it’s just a cold from the heat and swimming lessons this past week.
Take care Cuties and I hope you are all well. I also know we are all hoping things will get back to normal so I hope I have not upset anyone by sharing my concerns. ❤️Toogie

OH Toogie, I am praying for you and hubby and others! Unbelieveable the hospital is letting in visitors. I believe in the vaccine and wish everyone will get it. I have always thought most of the non vaccinated are due to political reasons. Numbers of covid are increasing at an alarming rate. Stay safe!

I don’t want to get into why or why not someone may or may not choose to vaccinate. I have left it as a personal choice.
However, my husband and I chose to get vaccinated. We had lived a year in quarantine, only going to buy groceries every 6 weeks. Hubby didn’t want to keep living like that so when we were eligible for our ages, we took it. Not to believe we won’t get COVID but if we do, maybe it won’t be deadly.

Toogie, you and your hubby are in my prayers. I don't understand why a hospital of all places would allow people to visit during this time!! We are back to masks both in doors and out at our house - because my hubby can't afford to catch it - his lungs wouldn't be able to fight it - he also has 2 heart problems. And yes, we are vaccinated - but even a mild care could be awful for him. Please stay safe!!! Bunches of hugs, Laura

I could not believe it either about visiting C patients. Negligence and deliberate exposure! Makes me mad.

Hospital visiting hadn’t happened for over a year in Wales. Things are relaxing. Many have died with and without Covid in hospitals but by themselves
Yes I know it’s so sad.
When my BIL that had cancer not Covid had to go to hospital for his back surgery, he couldn’t have anyone with him at hospital, to visit or stay. He said he would die at home with cancer before he would go back in hospital. He did.
I think Covid patients shouldn’t have visitors to keep virus from spreading.
A friend of mine just told me a family near her just left for vacation. Their son is sick with sinus problems but they didn’t want to have him tested in case he was positive, they wouldn’t be able to go on vacation. How selfish and senseless are these people!?

I think you are doing the right thing to self quarantine. I did not realize hospitals were allowing visitors to see covid patients. I was in a quarantine room those 11 days and saw my hubby once for a humanitarian visit He was dressed head to toe in PPE. He was not allowed to go within 6 feet of me and staff stayed to be sure he obeyed the rules. That visit helped me to continue to fight to live.
You have not upset anyone, certainly not me. And yes, you and your family, certainly have my prayers.

Sending prayers. Our COVID rules have been relaxed, but have a feeling that that might change as the new strain has been detected in this area. I know that masks are of great benefit, but I did not realize how much I missed seeing a persons face until this afternoon. I have a visiting nurse that comes out once a week. My usual nurse went on maternity leave last week. The nurse that came today showed me a picture of the new baby and commented on how much he looks like his Mom. That is when I realized, that I had never seen my regular nurse's face. That is just once a week. I can't imagine being in the hospital and not seeing anyone's face. hugs

Sending healing prayers in your direction, toogie.
I can not comprehend the selfishness of some people! At our local farmer's market only a very few people wear face coverings--including youngsters under the age of 12, who as of yet, cannot receive the Covid vaccination. Why would any loving parent wish to risk exposure of their children, as well as themselves, to such a devastating disease?

I agree wholeheartedly.

You take care, too. We who have been being so careful and following the rules mustn't let "popular opinion" sway us into complacency. I have one relative who refuses to get a vaccine and it causes a rift in our family. I had to tell her I'd see her in a couple of years, so sad.

Take care of yourselves Toogie, I am not upset by you sharing your concerns. I have similar concerns, although we are lucky (so far) that our area has been covid free. I am in far North Queensland, Australia.

I hope you stay Covid free. It’s rampant here.

Prayer works My daughter hurt her shoulder Sunday in church climbing the stairs so she could not raise it above her head, she has a friend she is talking to about the Lord hoping to lead her to the lord, they came by the my house and I prayed for Kelly(my daughter) and God touched my daughter on the drive home she noticed she could raise her arm she said to her friend look," I can raise my arm God did this" so prayer changes things in our lives when we trust in him. never forget to keep him in our lives.

Thanks for your posting. The politicians are playing with our health, we need to take care of ourselves. I hope you and your family will be well.

Regardless of the politicians, Covid is real and kills.Period.
I was vaccinated in FEB/March. My vaccine has not killed me. Covid has killed un-vaccinated people I knew personally.

I am curious as to what state you live in that is seeing such a rise in Covid cases. In my county there were 9 new cases today after going for several days with only 1 or 2. That is an alarming upswing.
1 comment
Google the rise in covid cases as of today in the United States. I am in a rural place and if all these people I know are getting it, I do believe the governor, my family in healthcare, that the cases are increasing rapidly.
I do hope your county is the exception and your numbers remain low. Best wishes for you.

I have not been checking in lately so your news was a complete surprise. Prayers are great but vaccination is really important, everyone is entitled to their opinion but we should keep in mind this disease is a killer and I feel it is here for good. I think that in the future we will be offered a booster each year rather like the flu needle, but what ever it is I hope most sensible people take up the offer.
Please stay safe and I sincerely hope you have not contacted the virus, will keep you and your husband in my thoughts.
Here in Oz the virus has caused our State Premiers to close the borders to NSW who are in real trouble so many new cases and now several more deaths. Like you I cannot understand people, here is NSW having to go into lock down and on the weekend there was a march by about 4000 people protesting about the lock down and there was not a mask to be seen. Unbelievable.
I don't usually get on my soap box "G" but I just had to vent for once, hope all you cuties understand and I have not offended anyone, because that is not my intension.
Look forward to hearing that you are ok and seeing lots more of your beautiful patchwork. I don't do much patchwork but each time you show something new I think may be I will try it again. LOL
Stay safe everyone

I understand your soap box and I can't get started. Too upsetting for me and others, I am sure.
I will just say we got our vaccination in Feb/March. We don't regret it and it has given us a better feeling about when we do have to get out. Even though we know we could still contract the virus, I do believe it should protect us from a severe case of being hospitalized, or even death.

I hear you Toogie. We have some high numbers for us here in Australia down in Sydney suburbs. All our borders are closed, so no-one can travel interstate, except for essential workers.
I do pray for you and your families.
I can't understand the stupidity of that hospital. My sister, when visiting Charles, had to wear full PPE gear the whole time over the 10 days she got to see him in hospital and there were no Covid positive people there. Wearing masks protects you, as well as people you come in contact with.
I'm wearing a mask everywhere I go and when I've got Mum in the car as we have to wear masks in cars if they are not living in your home. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Love Chris

A small percentage here wear mask. One of our niece's says she smothers in a mask. I told her I smothered when I had double pneumonia about 10 years ago, so I don't mind a mask. Better to be uncomfortable a short while, than on oxygen or respirator and may not live through.
I just deleted part of my own post. I can't get started, it is too upsetting and too REAL. Hope you and your family safe safe.
