Oh no - jury duty seems the absolute worst during this time. I hope they are at least alllowed to mask.

I have heard a lot of people say that - for some reason I’m oddly the opposite. The more dystopian our world gets, the more I’m drawn to the parallel shows. I watch every pandemic movie I can find, too, and had zero interest in them before 2020 πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Holidays are quieter now due to avoiding covid in a world that has gone back to normal. I’m so grateful for the time I have with my parents β€” and that they are willing to quarantine to see me. I already can’t wait for Christmas πŸŽ„β€οΈ

How scary, that you had to go through that while in the ER! I am sadly not surprised. I am glad he listened enough to run the tests.

I do understand a doctor’s job is busy and keeping up with scientific studies is cumbersome. But we are in a pandemic - where is their curiosity about a novel virus?

One thing I’ve learned during the pandemic is many doctors do not keep up with the latest scientific literature, especially when information is coming so frequently about #covid long term damage. Listen to the scientists and the patients. We are living with it β€” we know when things aren’t right.

I love mine! It’s $400 though :(. But I’ve seen them on Marketplace for cheaper so I figured I’d drop you a link anyway - it has a built-in 5 percent incline which I really like. *And* it comes in pink, which I also really like πŸ˜‚

I accidentally walked 16 miles on my walking pad while working today. I was in the zone, didn’t realize how late it was til it was dark. I’d planned to only walk til lunch. πŸ˜‚

Anyone else feel like a walking pad helps you hyperfocus on work? I have tunnel vision while on it!

Former CDC director explains how COVID is not a respiratory disease.

It’s a very important distinction and why so many of us are doing everything not to catch it (or catch it again). #maskup 😷
