Expected increases?
Comments (4)Hi thanks for the input. WMoore, would you believe I don't have any of those three. Except Ascent to Heaven which is a wonderful iris all the way around, fab. grower, increases and blooms, so gorgous. Jain, are those increases on just one new rhizome? Yikes, I would not know what to do with that many. Randy thanks for the OK on things. I do hope to get 4 or 5 each. I will write back after my digging time in Sept and let you know how they do. Anyone else with an input would be appreciated. Sis] P.S. I'd like to drop a picture in but I don't see a button for attachments....See MoreCOVID death related to Sturgis rally
Comments (15)I have read that 30-32 (depending on the news outlet) of the 65 people who attended the Millinocket wedding tested positive post event. The person who died did not attend but acquired the virus from someone who did attend. There has been quite a bit of coverage of the story over the last 10 days-2 weeks. . There have been reports that Dr Scott Atlas, one of over two dozen Coronavirus Task Force members, has promoted a 'herd immunity strategy'. Atlas's response to that charge: “There's news, there’s opinion and then there’s overt lies -- and that was one of those overt lies.” So we have sworn testimony from the accused. Who are the accusers? Are they real people who have taken the stand or are they anonymous sources? If they are anonymous, we don't even know if they are real or if they are fictional characters created to tell a story. I would be profoundly shocked to learn that the term 'herd immunity' has NOT been used by multiple members of the task force. 'Herdimmunity' is not a dirty word. There are at least two ways to achieve herd immunity--naturally acquired is one. Vaccine acquired is the other. Herd immunity is a good thing. That is what we should all want because 'limiting' the virus' is like trying to herd cats. You can sedate some of the cats (lockdown) but you can't make them comatose. And you can't sedate all the cats, the trucker cats, the grocery store cats, the health worker cats, the migrant farm worker cats or the rebel cats who are immune to sedation. Sedated cats just move slower but they are still cats. Somehow over the months, 'flatten the curve' (slow the spread) has morphed into some people thinking that eliminating the spread, eliminating the virus, is a realistic objective. That is wishful thinking because it isn't going to happen....See MoreWhat do you think the Covid situation will be in mid-August 2021
Comments (39)Lets follow the SCIENCE. The vaccine is here. Age is only one factor in receiving it--job factors heavily. Immunity from this vaccine and having recovered from COVID is unknown as this is all to soon. The other saving grace on the horizon is a treatment. The Washington crowd getting ill before the election all received the new treatment that is in clinical trials right now. It's out of the Lab my youngest works for. The problem is TIME. It is still in clinical trials--so far they are getting fabulous results but safety says finish the trials. Once the treatment is in place and the vaccine is like seasonal flu people will be treated...things will go back to full normal. WHEN will this all be firmly in place is anyone's guess. We are living in the middle of a time of learning about something NEW. I would not personally put huge amounts of money down on travel that cannot be recovered until the treatment is available and I have not heard the timeline on the trials. YOU may well be safe but that does not mean venues are open, travel is as it was. I would like to know who this 50% of "medical workers" are. People you cannot read a stat like that and not ask to see THE SPECIFICS of the survey! If they are polling uneducated, minimum wage earners who work as nursing assistants, personal care assistance, home health aids then yes I believe it. Many of them truly believe in the paranoia of chips being put in these vaccines. It is also true this is very fast for a vaccine to be developed. It can take DECADES for the medical ramifications of drugs on the human body to appear. It is for sure a gamble of a certain degree. How much of a gamble, well what options at this point do we have but to trust in 2021 vaccine development is to a point we are safe when they tell us we are....See MoreCovid/Flu... smh
Comments (35)I have a coworker who will call me to complain that he went somewhere and there were some people in there with no mask on. I ask him "Were you wearing one?" And after a pause he will say, "Well, NO but I forgot it in my car, and I was not going to walk all the way back to get it, and I am the one at risk, I am 71 and diabetic, and if anyone says anything to me about not wearing one I'll tell them off." So he thinks its important for everyone else to wear a mask, just not himself. It's a conversation that we have over and over. He will spout the importance of everyone wearing masks, but really doesn't think it matters if he wears one or not. What do you do with that? I just roll my eyes and change the subject....See MoreElmer J Fudd
