I am so absolutely SICK of all the hand-wringing over this stupid virus. Endless articles pontificating the decisions and life changes... blah blah.
My mother just passed away - not from COVID-19, but from botulism. No home-canned goods and no source we could find. it took two weeks before any doctors even thought about it because it has become so rare (around 1400 cases per year WORLDWIDE). The CDC was involved and even sent the anti-toxin (but it was too late). She didn’t get this (as far as we can figure) out in the world... and who could have ever planned or guessed?
If we live life afraid of the world - we will die alone and broke.
