Welp…looks like our plans to get back on air after the holidays will be necessarily delayed.
After four years of carefully and successfully avoiding it, COVID has found its way into The BRAD BLOG World News Headquarters. Looks like Desi brought back more than just Christmas gifts from Texas. She tested positive today.
Her symptoms are largely mild and cold-like (sniffles, some coughs, raspy voice etc.) — thankfully, we are both well-vaxxed and boosted! — though she does have some fever today. Otherwise, she seems to be doing okay for the moment. So far, I’m fine. We’ll see how long that continues to be the case.
In the meantime…our long-awaited post-holiday return to The BradCast and Green News Report is currently on hold as long (or as short) as necessary, or until we figure out how to safely do a show under these conditions.
Thanks for your understanding… Sorry about that. And, Happy Frickin’ New Year. 2024 going great so far!
P.S. COVID is on the rise again. If you haven’t gotten a shot in the past 3 or 4 months, now is a perfect time to do so!
Get well soon Desi! Keep up the good work Brad!
I’ve heard they’ve stopped reporting much on Covert rates, but my sister, my upstairs neighbor, my best friend and a lot of people I follow on Facebook have gotten it quite recently. Does seem to be a weaker strain, which is good.
Hoping it remains mild….yes, it is still out there…good luck and will be patient until the show returns – hopefully soon.
We’re at a nursing rehab home today and masks were mandatory. Everywhere not so much but a few folk.
Thanks for the kind wishes! It’s been pretty mild for the most part, and I’m feeling much better.
I had a hospital episode a few days ago. Hospitals and schools are vectors of the spread of Covid and various other flu viruses. I wore my mask, the doctor wore her mask as did some nurses and staff…maybe 10-20%.
I need to get together some short, simple phrasing that I wish I had used to rebuff the lout who brought in a patient and made a big fuss about her friend having to wait for care while also loudly saying No to masks, No to vaccines. It was her children I felt sorry for. It’s part of the mission to destroy the idea of the need for truth itself in science, medicine, journalism, education, and history.
Oh, I need to add, get well soon. We need you all. Thanks again.
