The CDC just released this about Hantavirus....
They just fail to mention here that Hantavirus is also #AIRBORNE. When cleaning areas potentially affected by rodents, use a respirator!
So curious how the CDC always refuses to mention the same words: respirator, mask, airborne... 🤔🤨

Have you ever had a neverending, freeflowing waterfall of love for someone? After 30 years loving my fellow all the way through to his last breath last month, I didn't feel the end of love. Dispersed, yes, as if he packed up our swirl of love to go, left some for me, a mist to remind me-let's dance.

Jellybeans glowed in the semi-gloom
