January 7, 20215 yr Thank goodness you guys are doing ok @Doreensfree! I'm so glad your test was negative xoxo
January 7, 20215 yr G’day That’s what I wanted to hear! Great news. Seems like we have spent the last year .....waiting for something
January 8, 20215 yr G’day Well it finally happened. Lock down again in Brisbane. Just three days this time ( I hope). Seems that the highly infectious “British” strain has infected a cleaner from one of the quarantine hotels. Three days should give us the time to track down the contacts and do a shit load of testing. Me.... still have to work. My job is classed as critical so it’s mask up and back out there.

January 8, 20215 yr We've been in indefinite lockdown since the three week lockdown expired December 28th. 512 new cases in our county yesterday and 0% ICU beds available 😞
January 8, 20215 yr No beds is as serious as it can get ... We had our highest number of deaths today since March ....I fear we are not far behind you Jill.... Very sad indeed ....😞
January 8, 20215 yr I've been reading about the cases in both the UK and Australia, it just seems like there's no end to the surges 😢
January 8, 20215 yr G’day Ive had 3 clients whinge at me about the lockdown...... all of them masked and all used the hand sanitizer...... Bless them!
January 11, 20215 yr Gday lockdown found 2 cases and it appears no more to date. Breath again. So till the next case pops up it’s back to the new normal..... whatever that is. This latest one involves masks ..... so be it.
January 20, 20215 yr Our numbers today are very scarey ..... We have the highest death rate ....how the hell did this happen ....?

I do think it is worse over here. My granddaughter, who is in college and works for a nursing home, has gotten her second shot. They are doing essential workers and those above 75 years of age. We are in the next group, 65 and older, which is scheduled for Feb. 8th. My husband and I are really hibernating because he is scheduled for his second knee replacement next Wed. the 27th. We are holding our breaths they do not cancel elective surgery.
January 27, 20215 yr Due to covid, I am sitting in parking lot at hospital, waiting for husband who is having knee replacement surgery. It is 20 degrees and dark out here and they won't let you wait inside. Feeling a little alone. Times like these, I would have had one cigarette after another. Thank goodness they are no longer my friend.
January 27, 20215 yr So sorry Me, the world is so crazy right now. Prayers for you and husband. Stay warm!!!
January 27, 20215 yr Hi @Mee, that's the protocol here too. Hope the surgery went well and you're home now 🤗

Since we started at 4:00 am, I am running home to potty my dogs and grab a nap. They will keep him one day and then tomorrow I become the nurse.

February 2, 20215 yr My neighbor and good friend across the street went to the hospital last night due to high heart rate and low O2. I had told him (jokingly) on Friday that I had oxygen over here if he needed it and yesterday he texted me that he might because his O2 was dropping to 84 at times.. I told him he needed to ask his Dr because it sounded to me like he needs to go to the hospital not just use a little oxygen plus my spare tank only has about 2 1/2 hour supply. He said his Dr did recommend he go but he wanted to avoid it if possible. Long story short I didn't give him the tank because I'm not a Dr and he really just needed to get the proper care not just oxygen but antibiotics too. But I feel like shit for not giving it to him since I had offered it in a joking way. He's strong but overweight so I'm just hoping he does ok...........
February 2, 20215 yr Hope your friend and Neighbour is ok Jill.... You did the right thing ...... I have a little monitor machine here ,we used to have to test Tony every day ...
February 2, 20215 yr I have one too that I bought when I first got home from the hospital. He wanted to use my spare oxygen tank not the oximeter. I'm hoping he'll be ok. Such a good family........
