Hello TO, how are you?
9:24 am
72 Temple Owl
hanging in there. and you?
9:25 am
Haz1558
Yes, trying to keep on top of things. We're restricted in meeting up in homes, not allowed into restaurants etc so am meeting my sister tomorrow (after 8 weeks) and having a picnic in our cars.
9:26 am
Haz1558
We're going to get takeaway from a coffee shop, then either have a walk or a look around town, all weather dependent of course.
9:26 am
72 Temple Owl
that's lovely. i was just tellig someone i had not seen family since Christmas and thanksgiving is not looking good either.
9:27 am
72 Temple Owl
went to the hairdresser yesterday and she said her aunt and uncle and grandmother all had it. he works from home so no idea how
9:27 am
Haz1558
I think everything here is geared towards getting figures down enough that people can have Christmas, but probably not in as big family groups as normal.
9:28 am
Haz1558
Our hairdressers were closed for 4 weeks, another week's extension just put on. My fringe is creeping nearer the point where I just do a little judicious trimming myself.
9:29 am
AtlKru
ive spent the last 7 months either isolated or quarantined. had it for 5 months before that. i hope ya'll stay safe
9:29 am
72 Temple Owl
ours were closed march to at least mid july
9:29 am
Haz1558
However, we are fine, just looking for things to be a little brighter over Christmas.
9:30 am
72 Temple Owl
atl, you had the virus?
9:30 am
Haz1558
The first domestic Christmas decorations have started appearing. It's always startling.
9:30 am
AtlKru
yes. i had it before they knew what it was.
9:30 am
72 Temple Owl
three days ago i saw the first tv ad for it.
9:31 am
72 Temple Owl
i hope you have recovered well. what state if you don't mind sharing? if not, i understand.

Haz1558
The local council had put up the trees a couple of weeks ago, thought better of it, took them down again and now they're back.
9:31 am

florida. once i was well for a month, i left and moved away. there's no sort of control there. tough to get tested there
9:32 am
72 Temple Owl
i have friends on west coast who say it's not rampant there. they are out and about.
9:33 am
AtlKru
i still get out of breath easily, but its getting better
9:33 am
Haz1558
Are you fully recovered Atl? No lingering side effects?
9:33 am
72 Temple Owl
ihave elderly family in west palm, though, and one was taken back to NJ by family who feared she would die there alone.
9:33 am

Question asked and answered!

I went to Tampa in Jan. and had something about a week later that was very suspicious. Not sure when it was in FL.
9:34 am
72 Temple Owl
carla, did you get an antibody test?
9:34 am
AtlKru
luckily i didnt have to be hospitalized, but my family was afraid i'd keep getting sick or get reinfected. so i moved 1000 miles away
9:35 am
72 Temple Owl
wow, atl. rough time.
9:36 am
AtlKru
are you ok carla
9:36 am
72 Temple Owl
the other day i was out and for the fitst time forgot and rubbed my allergy itchy nose. now i am counting the days. it sucks.
9:36 am
hokie carla

9:36 am
hokie carla
I am fine.
9:36 am

They published a list of the order in which people would be vaccinated here, I didn't know whether to be pleased with my position on the list or not.
9:38 am
72 Temple Owl
i hear that, haz! :D
9:38 am
Haz1558
Not at the top, not at the bottom but I'm definitely not priority no 1.
9:39 am
72 Temple Owl
logistically, it's going to be tough.
9:39 am
AtlKru
my sister is an epidemiologist. she says to stay positive and always be ready for a lockdown in usa
9:40 am
72 Temple Owl
health care workers will be first, then the "elderly"- whatever the definition of that is.
9:40 am
Haz1558
It certainly is, I assume they will do it the same here as for the seasonal flu jab, each GP practice being responsible, then again, it's a much bigger number.
9:40 am
rururocks
over 60 is the elderly TO
9:41 am
HarryHood
"essential workers" is a very loosely defined term around here
9:41 am
72 Temple Owl
that sounds very wise. i am sitting here in my slicker getting ready to head out tofind this week's elusive product- scrubbing bubbles.
9:41 am
Haz1558
Here it will be care home residents, health workers, over 80s, coming down in rank with age but underlying conditions puts you higher.
9:42 am
HarryHood
2 words left - one G and one upper T. one is 5 and one 4.
