Oops, that was a description of how to do nothing. Not how to cook…

Absolutely! Have been a Catholic Worker in Toronto 96-99 and continuing to live on the same street with some of the same people (and others with similar visions and values) is one the most transformative things I've ever done.

I really like this book: insights into how caring for oneself builds into caring for the common good and stepping back from constantly being plugged into a bombardment of information and ideas.

No, sorry.

Can anyone here point me to resources that describe how Covid can come back/stay and do damage later? I don’t mean long Covid that never goes away, I mean harm that is present when the symptoms are gone. Like lung cancer that shows up when you felt great being a smoking teenager.

*So few* in the 3 healthcare institutions my 83-year-old dad has been in for over four months. One staffer told me “it’s just a cold.”

this feels dopey, but how long is a person contagious if they have developed symptoms or have tested positive? My housemate has it and I don’t want to expose my elderly parents. I’ve had a few symptoms but testing negative. Online info is all over the map re how many days to quarantine.

So little masking (or baggy blues) in the two hospitals and rehab centre my elderly dad has been in since August 7. His roommate got Covid, he and his other one got moved *together*: I’m so glad he didn’t get it.
I always mask but now my roomie has it…I need to stay healthy to support my parents!

Thank you! My housemate who gets *paid* to talk about disability issues never masks and has brought it home to me with my chronic illnesses. How can they not understand?

Thanks so much from me too. My housemate who wants to be comfy and cool does not mask, even though she’s a “disability rights activist” and now she’s brought it home where I’m already living with chronic illness and family crisis. Praying I don’t get it. Sorry, I just had to vent somewhere.
