I’m an RN. You speak the truth. Everyone thinks they are immune. That the rules don’t apply to them. That it won’t happen to them. And then it does. I talk to patients all day. First the virus was “out there, somewhere.” Then it started creeping into the periphery. You knew someone who knew someone. Then a bit closer. A coworker’s husband, perhaps. Or a coworker, themselves. And then it hits your family. All of them. Even though they follow the precautions. I can tell by my conversations exactly what is happening with the virus before I even hear it on the news.

The vaccine can’t come fast enough.

Bob,

You are NOT alone on this!  My wife and I had the same basic discussion tonight.  You hit it on the head, no one thinks it will happen to them, and they “know their group follows the rules, so we can hang out on New Years, we’re all smart”. Meanwhile,  a friend’s relative – who they thought it was ok to spend Thanksgiving with, because you know, they are careful.  Just passed away from Covid. It is maddening.  Just tonight I went to pick up dinner at a local restaurant [PA just reopened limited indoor dining].  It was a small place, one couple dining in a corner, but as I walked in, there was this guy looking at a menu to order take out, MASKLESS!!  It was all I could do not to yell at him.  I just don’t get it.  I really think we’re doomed.   Healthy and happiness to you! Peace.

It’s pretty shitty here in SoFla. Though plenty of people still wear masks, distancing etc., plenty do not. And where I am (Boca Raton) is pretty much a Dem stronghold, so wtf? And up the road in Delray Beach, downtown Atlantic Ave is packed with tourists and locals. Oy!

I remember seeing somewhere (Twitter?), “How American of us to stop taking precautions during a pandemic because we’re bored.” That, plus the criminal lack of leadership (Trump and Gov. Florida Man) and we are truly fucked.

But Happy New Year, Bob.

We quarantine my friend. We live in Syracuse NY. I just said this same thing to my wife that why is it I feel like our family is the only one playing it safe any more…

Our county has more positive rates than ever before (like the nation). With that even, her coworkers don’t wear masks in meetings (teacher). I’m fortunate, working remotely. But our kid’s friends have had sleepovers, go out to dinner, etc. We remain home.

Sorry to hear of those infusions you go through.

Just had to share from this side of town.

Every time I go out (which is very little – usually to take the kids to the park) I am shocked by how many people are out and the # cars on the road.

Right after listening to an interview on NPR about rationing of crowded hospital beds and ambulance rides I saw the videos of the anti-maskers parading around Ralphs and the Century City Mall.  I got so mad and frustrated.

Agree it makes no difference to some but I appreciate you voicing your frustrations.

Stay safe,

Stay well.  And be proud that you’re living in the 64th best country on earth…

I have a friend who told me that I couldn’t get the virus.  He thinks it’s a hoax. Now his son, grandson and wife have gotten it.  Now the narrative is that no one he knows, seventeen people who’ve had the virus have gotten sick.  They’ve gotten sick, but have not been hospitalized.

I know someone in NYC that got COVID and died.

I spoke with someone today I’ve been working with in California whose father got COVID and they had to put him on a ventilator.  His Pop’s prognosis is not good. They expect him to die. My colleague could hardly keep it together when he told me this.  He’s obviously devastated.

So back to my buddy and his seventeen contacts.  He’s still trying to convince me that people won’t get sick.  I’m not sure what parallel universe he’s occupying. Unbelievable…

I agree with you Bob. We are in another universe. I run for government in my town in NJ. My daughter is a healthcare tech at a hospital and she is bagging dead bodies everyday at 22 years old for $18 an hour. Ridiculous!!! I ran into our newly elected mayor who I was talking about my concerns, and she told me “What are you worried about, its just a head cold”, and laughed at me. So sad, because I like this person, but as a Republican, she has been brainwashed like so many. Living in a Republican town, and running for office as a Democrat, and trying to talk common sense in all these people is truly a lost cause.

I am Bob! And I’m getting really pissed at all those who, because of their willful ignorance, have extended this nightmare on the rest of us. Had the government just paid everyone to stay home, this would be over now! Instead of giving $12 Billion, which they printed out of thin air, to the owner-class, had they given the $8 trillion to pay everyone to stay home, the money would have trickled up to the rich in any case. It would have been less expensive (by orders of magnitude) to do it Bernie’s way.

But . . .

Hello Bob,

Please don’t be too disheartened. I’m reading from rural France and feel as though only maybe one or two other people have observed lock-down like our household (that is too say, strictly, respecting germ theory!). We’ve been mind-boggled, angst-ridden, stupefied and furious about the general attitude of complacency and slavish obedience to (lifestyles of) convenience despite Covid’s raging – and often indiscriminate – horrors. We are resigned to it now – and just trying to reach a point of compassion – for in the immortal words of filmmaker Deepa Mehta: “people are dumb.”

Anyway, hope you don’t feel like you are screaming into the void. From a farmhouse in France, we can hear you!

Stay well and thank you for your work.

Hannah.

They don’t want their grandparent to die but they also don’t want to give up on fun either! We are fucked.

I’m writing to you from Sydney, Australia.

We’ve just been ordered to wear masks on supermarkets etc – for the first time. Until now they’ve been suggestions.

This when we only have a few hundred active cases on the entire country with  total casualty numbers being 909.

We are closed interstate again and we’ve got super efficient tracking now. A young asymptotic camper visited half a dozen towns but a tracker located him and was able to warn him right away and he did a right thing.

Testing numbers are like 30-40 000 a day in Sydney and Melbourne each but we’ve had close to 70 000 test days per city.

As the social distancing still mostly works we’re ok. This is the holiday month and many, many plans have been cancelled as  the state borders closed just before New Year.

Still people are not really questioning or rebelling against all this. Seems common sense is prevailing over individual freedom right now.

My elderly family lives in Finland. This will be most likely the second year in a row we don’t get to see them. But they’re are alive and healthy and so are we here.

Wishing you and all L.A. people all the best.

Bob, I’ve read your posts for many years and, yes, I do care that your medical condition may make the vaccine ineffective for you. The thing is, we got to this moment in the ‘GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD’ by forgetting the admonition to ‘Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You’ which every religion and most belief systems embraces. We are all worried, scared and very tired of being apart from the ones we love. But if I manage not to spread this virus to anyone, I will feel a great sense of peace.
May there be better days ahead for us all!

My wife and I, and most friends I know here in CT are in total lockdown, masked when we go out on the trip to Stop n Shop or CVS…but it’s getting even scarier, so your take on things is spot on. I occasionally see people (mostly teens and twenty somethings) flouting the rules, too…

True about what you said…if I had a heart attack tomorrow, could they get me to hospital on time, hurry hurry hurry….oh oh oh oh oh?… (my attempt at a modern day geriatric Ramones tune). Probably not, and if they did, would there be a hospital bed available? Probably not. And unlike you in sunny warm CA, we can’t set up emergency wards in the parking lot this winter. Like the dyslexic rabbi says, “YO!” But do keep sounding the warnings, Cassandra!

I don’t understand the convoluted logic that these people take. A friend posted today that flu cases were drastically down because of COVID preventative measures (they are). His conclusion? Those measures are not working for COVID, and should be stopped. And also, this proves that the case and fatality numbers are “obviously not accurate.” I also don’t understand his comfort with posting stuff like this publicly.

Hi Bob, I wish you well!   I am a cancer patient (multiple myeloma) living on Vancouver Island….my doctor phoned me last night at 9:30, to ask how I was doing!
We talked about the virus medications ….like you I will not be able to have the shot because of my compromised immune system….he noted that the new drugs were only tested on healthy people to keep the success rate high..and to please the Shareholders!
To my relief all of my cancer treatments and drugs are free, and my prognosis is that I will be in remission for 2-3 years….I am 74.
People here are generally behaving well so far with cases flattening….

And then their enablers who say we must have sympathy for these people, because they believed what the president told them. I’ve seen a few of these recently on twitter. I have no sympathy.

Anyway, stay safe!

No, you are not the only one still in lockdown.  My husband and I have been home since March.  We haven’t seen our kids or grandkids, except for one of our daughters and her children over Christmas after they quarantined for 14 days then took Covid tests.  No guarantee, my doctor said, “you should” be OK.  It was like Russian Roulette, luckily we dodged a bullet, but we won’t risk anythink like again until we’re vaccinated, if all goes well. We booked a family vacation in August, fingers crossed it happens.  I used to look forward to my weekly grocery store trips (masked up and well equipped with hand sanitizer).  Then when L.A. County started to surge, I moved it to every other week.  Now with this new “more infectious strain”, I’m considering having groceries delivered.  It feels like the walls are closing in and it’s 10 months later. Nothing compared to Anne Frank, but, like my mother said, “you can always find someone who had it worse than you, but it doesn’t negate your reality.”

What you say has much impact and I think it will with the majority of your readers. I care about you and I hope you can take the vaccine. I’m not discounting anything you’ve said because, sadly, it’s true.  I don’t know what has happened to this great country of ours either.  Where, when, how did it slip away?

God take mercy on us while continue to wash our hands, wear our masks and stay home.

Bob – I wanted to reach out, patient to patient. I do a 4 hour infusion every other Tuesday, so I know what you mean. But when people ask me all the time how do I deal with it I tell them this: to me, it’s like taking a flight. Now, traveling always sucks but if you’re good at it and prepared, then it’s more tolerable. So here’s a few tips that might help:

Comfort – My grandkids got me a blow up neck pillow with a nice cover. Really makes a difference. Don’t get the bead kind, they are never comfortable. The blow-up kind can be set for your own comfort level and when you’re not using it, it folds up very small and easy. As for your feet, look for a slipper/flip-flop called OOFO. They are amazing. Especially when you get up to walk around.

Food – I always bring a muffin or a bagel with me and eat before they start. I liken it to sitting on the plane before take-off. Actually takes the edge off a bit. And bring more food for later, even if you don’t eat it. I like fruit or pretzels.

Your Mind – Shut off the world! I do NOT take calls, I do NOT answer emails or texts and I do NOT watch TV. Like you I bring an iPad with 2 things in mind:

1. I know the Benadryl will hit about 20 minutes after its in and I zone out. I plan “2-fer Tuesdays” and pick 2 albums by 1 artist and que them up. Put on my bluetooth headphones, maybe some sleep blinders and zone out for 60-90 minutes. Nobody bothers me and when I come out of it, I’m over Kansas City and time for a snack.
2. Twilight Zone – I download 3-4 episodes at all times on the iPad. Skip the intro and they run 23 minutes. Perfect way to kill a little time until seats and tray tables up.

Peeing – Ask to get the hydration a little bit before and then the rest after. Not only will you pee less, but the after-flush is like that hot towel they bring you just before you land. Very refreshing and really hydrates you. Then you can pee after they unhook you and you’re in the “terminal”.

And don’t forget to tip your bartenders and waitresses – I bring 2 dozen Dunkin Doughnuts with me each time for the nurses and staff. It’s the littlest thing in the world to do but they love it. And after all, Nurses Rule.

Hang in there. It’s always good to vent. But keep looking at the horizon, never your feet.

Be well and stay safe. All the best, Michael Reinert

Hello Bob; long time reader here, first time caller.

I had a thought and Yyou might know how to make it happen:

 

Last March/April, the DOD made a big deal about deploying the Navy Hospital Ship “Mercy” to LA and a sister ship (Comfort) to NYC.   As far as I can recall, neither got much use. The intent was not to house Covid patients (not a feasible idea due to the close quarters on a Navy ship) but to treat seriously ill and injured non-Covid patients, thereby alleviating some pressure on the medical infrastructure.  Like people with heart attacks, or cancer.

 

It would seem that now the LA health care community could really benefit from a redeployment.

Assist hospitals with non Covid patients; and 3.) boost the community’s spirits, particularly for all the beleaguered healthcare workers.

 

How can we best communicate with the federal government or the military that we need help now?  If they were willing to do so last Spring, I think everyone agrees that it would be even more helpful now.    Can we implore LA Mayor Garcetti to ask that Mercy redeploy to LA?

I’m not in LA, but as an older guy with several pre-existing conditions, I am fearful of going into any hospital now, even here in Riverside County.

This made me laugh, in a good way, you talking about trying to pass the time during your shots and anxieties about being in public.  The rest of the screed I agree with completely, tho it sets my blood a-boilin’. People are lazy, stupid and entitled, especially in America, and especially certain groups of Americans.  And I don’t know which is worse, the virus itself or the infection of jingoism and ignorance you mention.

I saw someone post on social media yesterday a meme with an image of people being herded into trains by the Nazis with the caption “Just do what you’re told, everything will be alright.”  I can’t even fathom the ignorance and entitlement that would embolden a white male wasp to compare himself to victims of the Holocaust for having to wear masks and take small safety precautions for the health of others.

I also can’t understand why it’s taking so long to administer the vaccines.  What IS the hold up?

You, you’re not pissing in the wind, at least you’re doing your homework and taking the time to share your story and some knowledge and that’s appreciated.  Thanks Bob, and stay healthy!

Thanks for sharing your your medical issues and your conundrum. I hope the Rituxan doesn’t negate the COVID Vaccine.

But I have another question..WTF IS GOING ON IN LA COUNTY???

I grew up in Lakewood, went to art school in Pasadena, lived downtown 35 years ago, then in Hollywood before moving to New York where there are skyscrapers, subways, buses and most people don’t have cars. Real human density.

We figured out a way to slow the progress of the pandemic.

I’m curious as to your opinion of what is going on in LA in regards to the pandemic???

While it would appear that everyone must be deeply tongue kissing each other for hours in between orgies, I’m pretty sure that’s not the case. I get that much of LA is dense (yes literally and figuratively) as is much of this country (70 million morons voted for the worst manager ever), but it’s warm, I remember all the 75 degree Christmas’.

Please let us know why you think LA is exploding with cases. I’m not shitting you, it’s a goddamn mystery from 3000 miles away.

I think your audience wants to hear this, we read your honest take on so many other topics.

Thanks – Darryl Estrine

_______________________________________

You are correct…LA is the epicenter for Covid 19 today.

If LA county was a state, and with 10M people it would be a good size state, it has the most deaths of any state except TX in the last week, and TX is 4 times its size…actually LA would be the worst state for deaths per capita at 1.8 deaths in the last 7 days, next being Kansas at 1.7.

It looks like hospitalizations for CV-19, which is the most reliable statistic, shows CA might be hitting its peak, but that may be because they are running out of room.  If this is a peak then the next two weeks will be the worst for deaths and hopefully we will see a decline the second half of this month.  As this flu moves quickly with seasonality, LA could be all clear within a couple of months.

Good point about the new vaccines, based upon new technology they may work better for someone like you than the traditional ones, like the one most recently approved in the UK that has been in development for 10 years (the baseline vaccine).  That’s the one I’m waiting for…I have great hope for the new technology used to develop the new vaccines and the promise it holds to treat more diseases in the future, but I’ll go with the tried and true for now.

Stay Safe!

_______________________________________

I’m with you Bob. Not quarantined because I work outside the home, but I have incredibly minimal interactions with anyone outside my family, and never maskless outside the home. I simply love my entire family too much to play the risky game with this. I’m germ averse as it is, and think most people are super careless and gross (pre pandemic) so winter always made me freak out. Now? I’m so pro mask – I intend to keep wearing mine during cold and flu season, long after this vaccine has done its job. No doubt covid will flare up just like the flu so maybe we should change the name of the viral season… I always admired eastern cultures who would mask as a courtesy when the bugs are being passed around. Common sense but hey.

I frame this situation to my 6 year old like this: all of us at some point are called on by our country to do hard things for the good of others. Grandma and grandpa did it, my grandma and grandpa did it, and now we are doing it too. It’s our duty to look out for everyone around us, and sticking together as a family and wearing our masks, and visiting folks on the iPad is the best way to do that right now. A super long and wonky way to learn compassion and selflessness, but that’s the lesson to teach.

My kids are bored, my wife wants me to take her on a date, and my parents miss us. But we are healthy, we can still stand each other and I rest easier knowing we haven’t contributed to the spread and are trying to be a small part of the solution. We are pretending to be bears hibernating for the winter, eating lots of cookies and continuing to learn to love being together more than being apart.

Wish you well Bob, I look forward to your writing and have for a decade. Stay safe and healthy and we will all see this on the other side. My wife reminds me that a better tomorrow often requires a lot of nasty struggle first. We are in the throes now, we’ve gotta believe (and behave) as if a better future is ahead.

Your words are hitting some of us.  I don’t want anything to do with COVID-19.  I don’t have a medical condition that puts me in a severe red zone if I contract this thing, but I also like being able to taste my dinner and, oh yeah, breathe and survive.  I can’t believe the Tweets that I read from the LA Times talking about 2020 holiday travel numbers setting records.  People are fucking maniacs and I’m tired of people not giving a shit about the citizens around them.  Was it SO important to have an in-person holiday dinner that risking health to get there was worth it? That’s nuts.

I stay home for work and generally stay home 90% of the time.  The 10% that I leave is to get groceries or bathroom items.  That’s it.

I don’t have COVID.  I’ve been tested.  I don’t want to get it.  And if I had it, I don’t want to give it to people.

We’re greedy, narcissistic, selfish human beings in America because we’ve been told time and time again how great it is here.  That’s all bull shit.  Our health insurance situation is shit.  Education is expensive and out of reach without MASSIVE debt.  LIVING is expensive.  Everything is being peddled for profit by some suit in a highrise. I’m tired, man.

I knew we’d be in trouble when it was being said that it was going to take a communal effort to get this thing in control.  In all honesty, I don’t trust my fellow citizens on that level.  I kinda know the American life score and it’s sad but so very true.

Best to you with your health on all levels.  I’m in this thing with you to keep up my end of the bargain.

I’m with you, both still in lockdown and being treated with Rituxan (though for Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis). When I had my infusions last month, my doctor (the one overseeing the Rituxan infusions that is) advised that the Covid vaccine would likely still be generally effective, but not as effective as it is for the general population… so who knows, at least for now.  In any case, good luck and stay safe!

My Uncle has taken Rituxan treatments for almost a year, to deal with a neurological/neuropathy issue.

He now has COVID, and has been in the hospital since Christmas, with no sign of leaving in the foreseeable future. It’s a virtual lock that those Rituxan treatments destroyed his immune system, and not allowing his body to develop antibodies to fight the virus.

They’ve given him Convalescent Plasma treatments – where they infuse him with the blood donated by people with the antibodies – and it’s not working. He just can’t produce antibodies even when they’re fed into him. Thanks, likely, to Rituxan.

He has good and bad days, mostly bad. Ventilator might be on the horizon, though he’s staving that off so far.

Food for thought.

Stay healthy and safe.
