Obviously you have no idea what the schedule of a cancer fight looks like.
nor do they know what a cancer fight looks like when compounded by a pandemic. after all , even after all this time......it is just like the garden variety flu to them.

Thanks, and no matter the push bach I stand behind the importance of doing your part.
exactly..... what ever "push back " there is......... is not really worth considering. as it defies logic in a pandemic. Some just refuse to get it. or they refuse to be "told what to do".. They probably don't listen t o their physicians either...... as they" know better."

I'm thankful we aren't going through the worst of it now, I can't imagine the added challenge of covid.

Some still believe it's just a flu and that's okay, they can believe that. The rest of us will be responsible and maybe in doing so will spare them having to deal with the reality of it.

I believe fear plays a part, and yes, defiance as well.

And I can handle push back, I've been through much worse than what an anonymous poster on a message board can throw at me. I'm good.

Now that is as silly as banning peanut butter sandwiches in school because 1 kid in the class has a peanut allergy. If you have a compromised immune system, STAY HOME.


That may not be all that silly, especially if peanuts are lethal to the one kid.

Sane people, quit playing their game.

This is the same old tired false dichotomy they like to pull out every time. "If a measure isn't 100% effective, it's worthless."

Funny part is at the same time, it can be easily demonstrated that police and prisons are not 100% effective at deterring crime or recidivism, yet they never suggest shutting down prisons or disbanding police.

Oh, and "face diaper." The dumbest SOB on the board throws it out, and pretty soon all the marching morons are crowing it as their favorite insult.

Yeah. "Allergic to peanuts? Don't eat peanuts." Put it on the victim to know the ingredients list of every dish and every processed food product she comes into contact with, and to inspect every facility to make sure they either don't handle peanuts or their cleaning protocols are complete sanitization.

Victim? Victim? Get real.

Why bother with all that? Immunotherapy will eliminate 85% of peanut allergies. Its treatable.

If your kid has an issue that is treatable the onus is on you to ensure your kid can enjoy life without worry and without punishing 50 kids who dont react.

"So. . . buying back guns from the people who aren't the problem, by your own estimation, is the solution?

Ohhhhh-KAY."

Somehow your critical thinking does not extend to guns.

A lot simpler and smarter than banning every kid in the school from having a peanut butter sandwich. Quite simple, if you have an allergy don't eat someone else's food. Take some responsibility for your own actions.

"Face diaper" is only an insult if you allow yourself to be insulted by it and by those who spew it. I'm not insulted by it because I easily identify the conversationally ignorant source from where the attempted insult comes.

I do. These days its inpatient if there is an infection risk and yes home care does make the rounds and are going above and beyond.

Home care plays a vital role in patient care and we were very fortunate with the home care team we were assigned, one in particular rose above all others, going well above and beyond. Still it was necessary to leave our house with great regularity for the barrage of treatments, procedures and tests that took place for the better part of a year. The testing/check ups continue to date but fortunately with less frequency.

I hope your husband makes a full recovery. :)

That's good advice but it has to be remembered kids are kids and have a propensity for two faults, balking at authority and forgetfulness. A life is not worth that risk.
