RE: Quarantine Diaries: Day 365

Wow I am sorry for your friends' losses . Truly. Thank god, you uncle survived.

My mom was rather sick with something that ticked all the early boxes for the condition. But this was before it is claimed the it was in North America. But like I said from symptoms diagnoses and knowing what was to follow, it was unlikely anything else. She also survived, thank fully.

Of course now the symptoms are quite the laundry list. But thankfully treatment has also improved.

But you 'personally' also don't seem to know anyone who has succumbed (died). These friends ... are they people you have known from an extended period of time or akin to Facebook friends? ( I don't really know you) But for the sake of argument that is 4 degrees of separation. Me, you, a father of a friend of a friend. The mathematical theory I believe is six degrees of separation or less would connect just about everyone in the world.

Were the deaths in long-term care facilities? The one thing I do believe we can all come to clear consensus on is that our elderly care is abdominal. We feed them horribly and have isolated them so that many have spent what would have the last years and months of their lives no matter what alone.That breaks my heart.

So many lives could have been extended/saved if the money had been spent on better elderly care and not lockdowns enforcement and CERB payments. And now of course we will not be in a good position to fix what we have broken. Income tax revenue will plummet.

There was definitely a lack of big picture thinking.

My grandmother passed months before all this started. I am so grateful that she did not have to go through this and was able to see her family before she went.

Stress and isolation have made every single health outcome worse.
