Condolences... Take care of yourself. My mom died when I was young. I remember talking to her for several months after, it felt weird but normal at the same time.
Just let yourself feel it all.

My Mom died last week.
by Still Totally ADD inlast wednesday my elder brother called me to let me know mom had died.
she was 97 years old and was in a nursing home for the last 7 years.
her mind had left her many years ago to the point she didn't recognize any of us.

Boogie; do have a solution for your perceived problem.. Do you want the hospitals to close the ICU or what? Give me a break, don't wear a mask but don't go visit your grandmother.

What's The Point?
by AllTimeJeff init's been 12 years since i submitted my resignation letter, and stopped playing by their rules.. in a spurt of manic rationality, i blew up the bridge, sky high.
knowing that the diseased organ would need to be forever removed, away from anything remotely functional in my mind, body, and soul.
lest i be tempted to return.... so, i left.

Jeff, I am bumping this thread... every post you made seems to make me think a little differently. We have more time to peruse the web right now, and when I found this post I figured self therapy is why I come here so often. Thank you for that thoughtful input.

Is this video about U.S. hospitals really true?
by The Fall Guy inthe reason i ask is that i got a call from a friend last week who had to go to one of the biggest hospitals in scotland because of an eye injury.. he said there wasn't one other single person seeking medical attention when he walked in - only medical staff standing around with nothing to do.
i was astounded, given the media reports.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=180&v=uzxhwyrkqtk&feature=emb_logo.

Many states have directives that no elective surgery takes place. Hoping to save beds for virus patients. I called my dr's office yesterday and had a telephone consult. I bet there aren't too many patients in his office either.

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread
by Simon inthis topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.
latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.
the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

Around here the allergy season is ramping up with tree pollen. My burning eyes and congestion is normal this time of year. I still worry about Covid 19 exposure though as I am a senior and likely to have issues.

THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END
by stillajwexelder intelevisa television network quoted mexico city officials saying there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.. the quake rattled nerves in a city already nervous about a swine flu outbreak suspected of killing as many as 149 people nationwide.. "i'm scared," said sarai luna pajas, a 22-year-old social services worker standing outside her office building moments after it hit.
"we mexicans are not used to living with so much fear, but all that is happening the economic crisis, the illnesses and now this it feels like the apocalypse.".
co-worker harold gutierrez, 21, said the country was taking comfort from its religious faith, but he too was gripped by the sensation that the world might be coming to an end.. "if it is, it is god's plan," gutierrez.

My theory (for what it's worth) is everyone gets their own personal Armageddon. My dads was when my mom died, leaving him with a house-full of kids under 14 and no real family close to help out. (We were 5 states across country from his family).

Some hospitals are requesting masks be made for them (Providence Hosp in Seattle and others) Those are made with hospital grade fabric and will be used in house. They showed a basic pattern very similar to others on the web.
I used cotton that was already in my stash. I will make a few more for family and neighbors. Stay healthy folks.

Youtube has great instructions to make your own mask, not medical grade, but I made 2 in less than an hour if you have a sewing machine anyone with basic skill can do it. If you have several even better, they can be washed after any wearing out of the house. Several types shown on the videos. They can be made with fabric a couple of twist ties (to form over the nose) and thin elastic.

Dead Sea Scrolls FORGERIES at Bible museum (scandal)
by Terry inhttps://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/2020/03/museum-of-the-bible-dead-sea-scrolls-forgeries/ independent researchers funded by the museum of the bible announced that all 16 of the museum’s dead sea scroll fragments are modern forgeries.
the museum ceo exclaimed, “we’re victims—we’re victims of misrepresentation, we’re victims of fraud.” the pieces are probably made of ancient leather, they were inked in modern times and modified to resemble real dead sea scrolls; all with the intention of deceiving for profit.
the researcher's report’s findings raise grave questions about the “post-2002” dead sea scroll fragments, a group of some 70 snippets of biblical text that entered the antiquities market in the 2000's.

Just a side note... When the new testament (New World Translation) was released in the 60s I was a teenager and the dead sea scrolls were a big thing. I was convinced that all the changes in that new green bible were because someone in Bethell had access to the Dead Sea Scrolls and wasnt it wonderful how Jah had revealed it all. Turns out none of my insight was right, but I sure was convinced/
