Taking care of everyone.

Here we are – with three vaccines – and hoping that Ezi has some kind of immunity that can’t be tested – and the majority of seriously ill corona patients are anti-vacciners.  This means that there are people who are overloading the hospitals who could have been saved simply by taking the vaccinations.  This means that there are people who can’t get the care they need.  There aren’t even statistics on how many people died because they couldn’t get treatment in time.

The blanket is too small.  we keep hearing that phrase in many public spheres.  My doctor hasn’t seen me, much less measured my blood pressure, in ages.  He much prefers messages and no-question prescriptions – after all, he’s got an emergency ward to cover.  And my son-in-law the doctor looks like he deserves a vacation.  

And that’s nothing compared to my cousin who works in law enforcement.

Even I, with all my doctoral students, my own research deadlines, and the IAWE, have taken on more than I can bear.
