5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: I've been a long time listener. Thank you. What's up? Um? Well,

6
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: I just wanted to let you know that I live

7
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: in Corona in a senior nursing facility and we're getting

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: hit really hard with the coronavirus. Oh geez. And it

9
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: missed us for a long time for the first part

10
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: of it, but with the second wave of it, it

11
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: really hit us hard. We've lost you know, a few

12
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: people here, including some of our employees, got hit, including

13
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: our administrator who was out for several weeks and other

14
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: employ ways. I have not caught in it yet. So well,

15
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: let me ask you. Let me ask you, Pam. Last year,

16
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: the year before COVID, did you see anybody get sick

17
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: because of the flu or anything like that? Sometimes, you know,

18
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: and there's there's different illnesses that hit SNIFFS which is

19
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: an acronym for senior nursing facility, and you know, you

20
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: just you get all kinds of illnesses. Even I get illnesses.

21
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: I have arthritis and different autoimmune diseases that leaves me

22
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: open to different infections. See what I'm trying to ascertain is,

23
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: you know, people got sick before, but nobody said anything

24
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: about it, so nobody really knew anything about it. But

25
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: now you stub your tone, they blame it on COVID.

26
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: I mean, everything's COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID. And I'm just

27
00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: wondering if we're creating panic or whether this is really

28
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: something that's really bad. It is very bad. Um. I

29
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: keep on hearing from everybody that they've never seen anything

30
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: like this. Um I in my memory, I've never seen

31
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: anything like this. And I remember my grandparents talking about,

32
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: you know, different things. You know, my grandfather fought in

33
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: World War One. Yeah, and so I remember different things

34
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: that he used to say, but he never talks about

35
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: the Spanish flue. He never talked about, you know, really

36
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: any illnesses. Now, I did get the vaccine a couple

37
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: of days ago. Any reaction, Uh no, good? So and

38
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: I got the fiser one. Well, and technically you should

39
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: be immune from this thing. Well, if it works, you

40
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: have second I have to have a second shot. I did,

41
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: that's what thirty days later? Three weeks? Three weeks? Okay?

42
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: And does it have to be three weeks? Yea? Or

43
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: or screws up the whole thing. Well, according to them

44
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: that you know, they're the ones who sets the protocol.

45
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: How many people have died at the nursing home because

46
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: of covid um I don't know. They have not saved anybody, okay,

47
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: And even if I asked, it probably would not tell me.

48
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: How many people are in the nursing home generally, generally

49
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: about one hundred and seventy five. That's a lot of people. Yeah,

50
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: it is? Is it? And I would assume because of

51
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: the elderly, deaths are relatively ongoing at these nursing homes, right, yes, yes,

52
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: although the population. Now, I've been a nursing home for

53
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: ten years and I'm just fifty nine years old. You're young. Yeah,

54
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: I am very young, and I've been in them for

55
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: ten years, and this is the fifth facility I've been in. See,

56
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: if you were to say, you know, George, last year

57
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: ten people died from whatever in the nursing home. This year,

58
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: fifty people died. Then I'd say there's something going on

59
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: here with this, but I'd love to get those numbers

60
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: one day. Well, if I do manage to get those numbers,

61
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: i'll call you back. I'll let you know. Okay, Pam,

62
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: thanks be safe out there, and definitely get that other vaccination.

63
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: I'm not getting the vaccination. I'm not getting it. I

64
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: don't get the flu shot, and I'm just knocking on wood,

65
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,679
Speaker 1: taking my vitamin C, vitamin D three, zinc, quinine, water,

66
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: all my supplements that go with it, all beyond that.

67
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: But I really load up on those and it's been

68
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: working so far far. And I've been on planes in
