THAT sounds interesting.

Your kiddo will have a fun story to tell his kiddos about getting his DL during the pandemic and ensuing cray cray.

He missed a lot during his senior year, varsity sports, prom, graduation ceremony, but he will have a story to tell. My 80+ father in law has a lot of stories that his father told him about Spanish Flu. He’s afraid to even leave his house. We are encouraging him to get outside.

Sun would be good for your FIL. Supplements too (ask about K2 for him). As you age, your ability to generate D3 from the sun decreases. Like all other good things...

We are working on that. He is very resistant to change and has dementia which complicates things. He’s not quite ill enough to move with us, but just enough that we have to call him several times a day to make sure he eats and takes meds.

The time is getting near though. He says he prefers to go to assisted living when it’s time but we keep telling him that is a REALLY bad idea. When he spends time here, he eats better (more protein, less carbs) and walks every day and his mental status improves. He helps me on the farm and loves it. Hoping we can convince him to sell his house and move here.

The carbs make a big deal at his age.

have you read about the fasting and improvement with cognition in the treatment of alzheimers/etc?

I haven’t, I have read the benefits of low carb tho. We all do some form of keto here, and the difference when he’s here even a week is remarkable. It’s a balancing act of respecting his right to eat/do what he wants and stepping in to help. He lost his wife of 54 years a few years back and part of him just wants to eat all the Ice cream, soda, chips and candy he wants even if it means a shorter life. I can understand that.

From a Belgium newspaper:

With more than 100,000 newly confirmed cases a day now, the coronavirus is spreading around the world faster than ever.

While some countries that have been hit hard in recent months are scrambling out of the valley, new fireplaces are emerging in several other places.

Exponential

The center of gravity of the pandemic has meanwhile moved from Europe and North America to countries in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. In several countries, the virus is spreading exponentially.

For example, the number of deaths in Brazil has passed the 30,000 mark and 1,262 deaths were reported in one day on Tuesday, a sad record for the country.

More than half a million people have become infected in the meantime, which means Brazil only has to lead the United States.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has changed its advice on face masks, saying they should be worn in public to help stop the spread of coronavirus.

“We have evidence now that if this is done properly it can provide a barrier for potentially infectious droplets,” Dr Maria Van Kerkhove told Reuters.

Comment: another 180 from WHO. Does anyone even take them seriously anymore?

For some reason China wants us to wear masks now...

(are they selling them cheap and need the business?)

Crazy, right? Maybe they are just hoping the Antifa/blm commies wear them.

That's just for this week. I'm sure it will change again. I think it's the CDC's turn to flip flop back to "masks kill" next week. Then Fauci will tell us to wear them again. Hard to keep track these days. 6 weeks ago it was comical. Now it's beyond ridiculous.

Yes. Maybe they will come up with an app, like a weather app, where you can look up daily what you’re supposed to do.

So, instead of do I need to take an umbrella, I can check to see if it is a mask day. Or should I ask for HCQ or not if I get cv.

“For some reason China wants us to wear masks now...”

It could be the political fallout is worse than they expected, such as UK telling them to bug-off on 5G and Japan making a huge effort to get production out of there. They may have misjudged in that respect.
