At first I thought the taxi would do âsomethingâ but thats a really long ass queue? Are they waiting to get covid tests? I ran past the clinic here today and they have signs for covid testing but they point to a gate thats always been locked before, kinda like a backdoor. The parking lot was very full, no queues outside though.

Ok so I lost my shit today. My sister in law has been telling us all she is dying, she is so very sick.
Now I at first believed her, since I know a lot of people who got really badly ill.
She managed to convince herself she is dying last night. She was so convinced, she refused to sleep until my youngest brother drugged her.
Today again, convinced she is dying, she cant breath and she is a bit dizzy and light headed.
The part I didnât get properly until today is her one âfriendâ is a doctor - fuck only knows what kind, just know once I know who he is he will get an earful from me.
He was the one telling her she is sicker than she was, he managed to get her anxiety so high that she couldnât see the truth. He told her today that she sounds breathless, and if she cant breathe properly she needs to go to the hospital. MY brother stopped her. The hospital staff would have fucking laughed them out of the parking lot.
She insisted on me bringing her a pulse ox so that she can check her oxygen levels. so I work till 7, get to the pharmacy pay R1000 for the pulse ox, take it to her. I placed the parcel outside their front door, got back into my car with windows closed and mask up.
She opened the door grabbed the bag and I went to stand 2 m outside their front window and made her take her oxygen level right thenâŚ99%
And then I kakked her out. I told her if she speaks to this friend again I will physically klap her so hard she wont know her own name.
The penny has dropped, she immediately started relaxing, my brother is standing far from her shouting at me to go and tell her off!
Now the part that really got me was I was expecting someone in bed, that I couldnât see her, that she is so ill she cant walk. This girl was talking and laughing and giggling afterwards.
I told her to start eating, even if its just a smoothie, I told her to take a bath and relax and get sleep.
My issue out of all of this was the fact that she kept listening to the one person who made it worse for her. I am so pissed at this doctor I can scream (I did scream I have a sore throat from yelling - at no one in the car as I was driving home)

Sounds to me like a medical student. They have a tendency to think everything is the worst case scenario based on what they learned about a week earlier.

My xmas morning started out great, a covid test thanks to a coworkerâs wife was in contact with a friend who tested positive.
Boss paid for us all to go get tested. Luckily no referral needed.

1 in every 1000 Americans is now a Corona Virus death.
Our numbers here continue to spike higher. New daily cases over the last few days are averaging over 14000 per day, deaths are over 350 per day. Weâre heading back to, and over, the June/July peaks.
I honestly think the Pres is going to shut more stuff down and increase the lockdown restrictions in a lot more places before the end of the week. Probably will do it to implement from Monday next week. Give the nation one last weekend to party and spread things far and wide before he implements another partial lockdown.
