Looking Forward to Better Days

[DonH]

As far as COVID ...... our Chief medical officer who just retired came to do a Q&A on the covid vaccine on our unit. His specialty is infectious disease. He said there is a lot we can’t answer and there is a lot we don’t know because this has been around for only a year.

Thank you Ginger for this quote. It sums up exactly my point and what I’m trying to say. We just don’t know yet. The one thing I do know from being in medicine since 1986 is what we think we know at one point in time we later discover we were way way way wrong about. Understanding constantly changes. Treatment is constantly changing. I’m seeing that up close and personal with this new client of mine. Just did a seminar with a surgeon from Mayo who does awake brain surgery. It was surreal to watch live in 4K HD and talk with him. Everyday he sees patients who were told they can’t be helped and surgery was impossible.

I’m speaking in generals. You are often speaking in one single patient KML. In general we don’t even know yet the effects of the vaccine. Will it protect against the new strains? We don’t know. Something like 23 people died in Norway after getting the vaccine. Does that mean we should stop it? Some people want to be well even though they are sick. Sadly sone want to be sick even though they are well. It’s their payoff or how they get attention. It all happens.

Again my point is, we just don’t know. It’s too soon to know or be certain. Like ginger’s chief medical officer says, a lot we can’t answer and don’t know. To perpetuate fear based on a guess is just wrong. Covid has taken on a life if it’s own to the detriment of everything else n life. Suicides are skyrocketing, overdose is up, we are starting to see school failure rates in the 400% over previous years. People have lost their businesses and their jobs. We need our balance back. Life is more than covid. What’s happened has happened. Let’s not make it even worse by guessing. You may be right. You may not. We just don’t know yet and we certainly don’t have conclusive proof - just guesses and assumptions.
