I feel for those on the front lines. If this had been 25 years ago, I'd have been right there, too. But now I'm old and at prob. very high risk of dying from this crap if I catch it. Well, the upside is I've got Medicare and supplement ins., so my wife won't have any hospitalization bills to pay off...and since I'm a vet, I get a free burial and a free plot on a Fed. cemetery somewhere, so won't cost her much if anything to "dispose" of me.
Yes, I am concerned. And to compound my concern.....
I live in a small town in NE GA...Hartwell. Pop. is ~4500. About 25 mi. W of Anderson, SC, about 45 mi. or so NE of Athens, GA. You'd think even in this small town they'd have gotten the message for no groups...but NO....
They're having their monthly Third Tuesday...a monthly "concert" put on in the main square downtown. More like a poor C&W cover band. Anyway, I can hear it tonight, like every night it happens. Sound carries. And damn the female singer is flat as hell.
Didn't cancel it. Who cares if it spreads? The notion around here is ain't no cases here. And this is true...there are no reported cases. But, then again, no one knows of anyone who's been tested, either. So, the denial of the virus being here is meaningless.
Again, I am concerned.
