Time for a check in...

It has been a while since we have done this and there have been some new members join...
Where are you located?
What would you like to get out of this group?
How are you holding up in these crazy pandemic times?

East Haven here. I am here to make local friends. There are so many people I have had great connections with around the world and I would love to make those same connections locally with people I might actually be able to meet.
As for how I am doing, I miss human connection. I miss hanging out on the deck enjoying a naked drink and conversations with friends.

Well we ended up a COVID house... I caught it from a guy at work who did not believe it was real and could not wear a mask because he is claustrophobic. And since it is the season of giving, I gave it to my husband. We have been lucky that we have had mild symptoms and were able to take the time to recover. Kind of glad to have it over and done with and hoping the antibodies last a good long time!

Im so sorry to hear your wife is still having problems and for the loss of your father in law. I am terrified to visit my parents for that very reason. The holidays are going to be rough this year!

Mike, I have been saying that for months. I have multiple comorbidities but haven't gotten it at all. I still consider it a bad flu, it looks like all of these lockdowns and mandates are just power trips for politicians.

You can consider it what you want. It won't care. It is not just a bad flu.

Hear, hear! I've already lost an old friend to it, and watched multiple people suffer through. Not all make a full recovery. Anyone who thinks it's "just a bad flu" is either willfully ignorant or delusional.

I could not agree more. My husband and I did everything we could possibly do to stay safe. We haven't let anyone (even relatives in our front door for over 8 months, we wore masks everywhere and disinfected the mail before we would open it. I still managed to get Covid (and survive, thankfully), was hospitalized for 3 days after spending 11 hrs in the ER on a Friday night in June. I was in spectacular health otherwise with no other underlying health problems - even my weight was really good - only 113.5 lbs and 5 ft 1" on the morning of the day I was sent to the ER with a fever spiking already at 102 by early afternoon, and exercised (5-7 miles walking every day), but I was never so sick in my life. And I'm one of the lucky ones. With close to 300,000 people dead from this virus in less than a year, you have to be a completely ignorant to blow it off. Political! How stupid to say that. Covid doesn't care how you vote or what you think.
