100,000 to 1,100,000 Best to Best Worst Case Scenarios
Today, as I heard the best case scenario would be at least 100,000 deaths from COVID-19, I tried to wrap my head around a virus that will kill so many of us in such a short period of time. Dr. Fauci states at least 100,000 death, Dr. Birx said it could be up to 200,000… Continue reading 100,000 to 1,100,000 Best to Best Worst Case Scenarios
Plain and Simple, We Are F*
I have no words today. After reading and listening throughout the day about how doctors are being fired, health professionals are being silenced, medical personnel quitting because they no longer have equipment to keep them safe, hospitals not wanting the truth to be told, and how all of the workers above are getting sick themselves,… Continue reading Plain and Simple, We Are F*
Grandson Update
As you all know, my grandson had to be hospitalized two weeks ago. Here is an update on his current condition. He is still critical and stable.

Choose: Grandma or the Economy
Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick essentially said as much to Fox So-called “News” earlier today, Tuesday, March 24, 2020. He said he would be willing to take his chances, and believes many other older people would join him in taking the chance of getting the Coronavirus.

I am a Worrier
If it is true one’s worries are what turns one’s hair gray, you’d see I worry, a lot. I think it is both hereditary and because I’m an educator (teachers never stop thinking about their students, even 20 years after they had them in class). My current worries, which are mainly due, but not entirely,… Continue reading I am a Worrier
We Can Walk and Chew Gum at the Same Time
Main stream media, we, the consumer of your news, can walk and chew gum at the same time! In case you needed reminding. I know the Coronavirus has us all on edge.

20,000 and Counting
It seems just yesterday we were watching China locking down Wuhan Province, then the whole of Italy shuttering its doors. Now we are watching Coronavirus unfold in our own U.S. of A. while wondering how it could happen here on such a large scale. I’ve already talked about that topic in this space, and won’t… Continue reading 20,000 and Counting
For the First Time, I’m Afraid of a Virus II
A couple of days ago I wrote Part I of this post. Boy what a couple of days will do in a pandemic! A couple of days ago, we had fewer than 1,000 cases nationwide. A few days ago, we had fewer than 50 deaths nationwide. A few days ago, we had fewer than 10… Continue reading For the First Time, I’m Afraid of a Virus II
Grandson Update
There is much I want to write about, but I’m still recovering emotionally from yesterday. Besides, the most important thing to write about after yesterday’s events is our grandson. Thankfully, he made it through the surgery and is in stable condition. Today and tomorrow are the most critical days as his chest is still open… Continue reading Grandson Update
