Sunday. A typical day of rest... Or not, as the case may be. This time period is something I want to remember.
Have been a bit ill for a few weeks. Sick enough to phone the doctor for a prescription (which did not resolve the issue after a week of use). Which prompted an actual physical visit to the doctor's office in the middle of this pandemic. Good move on my part, because this could have gotten out of hand without antibiotics and steroids. Bad for sleep because my already lacking sleep schedule is interrupted to take medication (300mg of Clindamycin every 6 hours).
Speaking of the COVID-19 pandemic: Son-in-law and lover have been exposed to a person with a confirmed diagnosis. Lover has been quarantined for 14 days by the CDC and will probably be required to get tested. Unclear on what will happen with son-in-law.
Lots of anxiety (and some panic attacks) all around. More and more cases being diagnosed and admitted to hospitals whose capacity in many cases has reached 85%. Soon they will be unable to accept any patients. Health care workers are stretched to the point of breaking.
Because of political reasons (think tRump), Health Officials, essential workers and folks experienced with the loss caused by this horrible virus are being ignored by much of the population even after begging folks to follow safety measures (i.e., wearing masks, using sanitizer, maintaining a 6-foot social distance, limiting exposure by refraining from unnecessary travel and limiting both indoor and outdoor gathering sizes).
Rather than coming together to find a common solution, lots of folks are bickering about shit that doesn't matter (the election results).
