For those interested, I happen to know someone involved with this vaccine and he tells me there are high hopes that this drug could be a breakthrough.

That would be incredible, a miracle if this was effective. I have a feeling I’ll be needing it in another few years.

My 95 year old mother in law is of sound mind and she complains every day about living in her facility where she is given her meals, medical care etc. She wishes she was dead.

My friend's father in law is in the same condition EXCEPT that he has alzheimers. He thinks life is fine.

Life is so sad for oldsters.
