April 20, 2022 by

The first covid mask I saw wasn’t for covid. It was for cancer in a chemo waiting room, on a patient with a low immune system. First it was the mask, then the warning about wearing fragrances. Why? Then I found out why. Haven’t we found out more than we want to know about covid […]

GRADING COVID REACTIONS LIKE GOING TO SCHOOL

September 6, 2021 by

Grading covid like it was a class is an easy way to understand how people react. But first let’s be clear about one thing: death is not a failing grade. However, anti-mask, anti-vaxx death is another matter. Dying from ignorance, arrogance, and intolerance is a failing grade. I saw a clip of people protesting for […]

BE PREPARED: IT’S MORE THAN A BOY SCOUT MOTTO WITH THE COVID

August 14, 2021 by

Be prepared! It sounds like a threat to some people. “Prepared for what? What’re you gonna do if I’m not, huh? What?” It sounds like there could be consequences, like, “Be prepared, or else.” “Or else what? You tell me like you know something I don’t know. Yeah, I don’t think so, bub.” While no […]

COVID PERMISSION SLIP: WHEN THEY MATTER, WHEN THEY DON’T

August 13, 2021 by

A permission slip comes in many forms. A ticket to a show, ID in a liquor store, including a professional license framed and hanging on a doctor’s wall. I think of these things as a comfort. If I’ve paid for a ticket and present it at the door, I’m in. Woo hoo. Do I also […]

MASK SAFETY ADVICE? IT STARTED BEFORE COVID AROUND HERE

March 6, 2021 by

Mask safety feels a little redundant after a year, as if slow learners are leading the way, and it’s going astray. To clear things up, point to a mask and what it means. Give it a good look. It’s a blue mask, a white mask, a cloth mask, or an N95 mask. That mask, worn […]

COVID SUNDAY: VACCINE DATE AT OREGON CONVENTION CENTER

February 1, 2021 by

Covid Sunday started at 2:45. That was the appointment time for a covid vaccine. Not my appointment though, I was just the driver. The driver plans one thing for Covid Sunday: Don’t be late. That was my plan after talking to a lady who had been late and lost her appointment time. The plan was […]

CAREGIVING COVID IN 2021 LIKE A CAREGIVER WOULD DO

December 31, 2020 by

Caregiving covid as only a caregiver can do? Only a caregiver can figure this one out. If it takes one to know one, I’m here to serve. I got my caregiver merit badge and five stripes for consecutive years with my Parkinson’s afflicted father-in-law. I believe my caregiver tactics offer an angle into dealing with […]
