Next wave of Covid-19

Tweet

Apparently it is starting all over again... Yesterday... I received a notification from the temporary property where I am staying...that due to the current rise is Covid-19 cases, there is a mandatory mandate to wear masks when coming to the office and all common areas. Then this morning I get a call from my gastrologist that my upcoming appointment has to be canceled; due to the powers that be's decision to cancel all non-emergency cases. Before any appointments can be made, a triage center has to be set up for Covid-19 testing. The nurse went on to the say that there has been a significant increase of patients that are coming into their hospitals and being diagnosed with Covid19. They are very, very sick, and based on their records...the majority of the age groups coming down with Covid-19 are between the ages of 20 and 40 who never got vaccinated. She told me that it does not mean no other age group will be infected with this virus...but the majority of the patients in the hospital with Covid-19 are between these ages. So... At this time...my doctors at St Vincent will not see me until I can prove I am negative for the virus. They are urging all (especially people between the ages of 20 and 40) who have never been vaccinated, to please do so. Due to the fact that the majority of people who were vaccinated in the beginning were 60 years of age and up, they are anticipating fewer cases this go around in this age group. And if they do get the virus, they expect a higher survival rate. Sigh...
