Not that this information will get to the woman who wants to know, but in Clearwater, Florida there are billboards listing the current ER wait times at all the local hospitals. My daughter works as a nurse at the largest hospital there and tells us they never got close to capacity, even in the retirement capital of the world.
My older sister, my sister-in-law, and a good friend are all so terrified they do not leave their houses. They are all conservatives too. One does take walks, but only early in the morning before anyone else is up and even then she wears a mask.
I am a bit of a hermit by nature and do not know that many people and our family is small, so I am not in a position like Susan’s.
I am also not a patient person and am prone to sarcasm and harsh language, so I probably would not be very kind if I had a friend like the type Susan is talking about, but I don’t have the patience for Leftism, so I have no leftist friends, except one, and he from time to time admits he has been wrong about things.
However, my aunt has friends like Susan’s. My aunt meets the criteria for elderly, although she doesn’t seem very elderly, and has co-morbidities. But she is out living her life.
Some of her friends are still keeping themselves holed up. And these are people who are going to vote Trump.
Some days my aunt sounds like me when she talks about how ridiculous they are being and what she wants to say to them, but is too nice to say.
Other days, she sounds like Susan and is really sad that her friends, who are older than she, are seemingly living their final days in fear.
That is why I posted this piece.
BTW: I don’t expect you to know this, but maybe someone reading it will. Do you know of any website where people like your daughter who are in position to see facts on the ground are posting to report what they see (or are not seeing)?
“My daughter works as a nurse at the largest hospital there and tells us they never got close to capacity, even in the retirement capital of the world.”
You’ve probably heard about the up-tick in cases in Wisconsin, recently.
None of our hospitals have been at capacity either. They opened the 530 bed Tent City at our State Fairgrounds last week, but so far have had no takers. And, they haven’t had a single patient since the beginning of this boondoggle!
Over 2 weeks ago my husband and I attended The Prayer March in Washington, DC...(Franklin Graham)
.....along with approximately 100,000 people
We are fine!
