I am doing really well. The Joy of JoeCon was finally released, so a big moment that I and a lot of G.I. Joe fans have been waiting for is finally here. Right now, that is kind of overriding everything else and helping place the strangeness of these times in the background.
My wife, on the other hand, isn’t faring so well. |

Day 30 of my initial exposure. Sore throat and muscle fatigue gone. No fever. Advised to continue using PPE since I’m still treating infected patients. 2 of my colleagues weren’t so lucky and had to quarantine for 14 days. State doesn’t want to keep us home because there would be no one left to care for the residents. Staffing shortages are everywhere so I’m toughing it out the best I can.

Doing good so far, but I’m getting snowed under! Thankfully it stopped snowing so now I just have to wait for it to melt! Schools completely online so professors think they can assign 3 times as much homework which is annoying, and the classes feel really unorganized.

My wife, on the other hand, isn’t faring so well. The Joy of JoeCon book release is some of the best news I’ve had recently, and because I am missing JoeCon so much, I’m really looking forward to reading that collection of essays when it arrives here this month. I’m healthy but bored, stuck at home caring for two cranky kids that aren’t learning a darn thing via this worthless online schooling. Whenever I’m not breaking up a fight my boys are having, I’m worried about my wife. She and much of the rest of the 586th Field Hospital left Fort Campbell nearly a month ago to care for the sick at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. Although originally intended for non-COVID patients, which lasted only a few days before the hospitals started “mistakenly” sending infected patients to them. Now the experiences she’s relating to me are incredible. At least the PPE she’s using seems to be working for the moment. When the compressor froze at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, she had to ride in a midnight run ambulance convoy out there to get the ICU patients and keep them alive while transporting them to the USNS Comfort. It’s crazy pushing those gurneys up all of those series of ramps to the ship’s ICU, but she managed it. She’s a 68V (Respiratory Specialist) trained to operate the ventilators, so she’s keeping busy right now. Language translations have kept her most busy of all, because many of the sick at the Javits Center don’t speak any English, so she’s helping the doctors and nurses with that almost any minute she’s not doing an intubation. Some patients younger than me haven't survived the infection, and others are being given morphine to help them peacefully die when no other reasonable option is available, and that sort of thing bothers her a bit. On a positive note, some of her patients a decade older than I am have made a recovery after taking Hydroxychloroquine, so she has some good stories to tell also.

All good on my end. Sorry to hear those of you going through some tough times. Take solace that better times are ahead, eventually.

I'm going to agree with the eventual part. I'm from Michigan, and that recent demonstration thing my people pulled. Made me cringe. Retards are still out in full force.
