Then > again, I don't have the same health issues you or many other people have. It is not so bad sitting and waiting by the phone. I had a telephone appointment with my cardiologist last month and she was about 40 minutes late calling, but I had more than 20 minutes with her. I also had one with the sleep doctor, She called about three minutes of the scheduled time and we talked for more than half an hour. The sleep study was a waste of time. I didn't think that I had any sleep problems and, as it turned out, I didn't. We had a nice long chat about sleep and sleep issues. I had taken a course on sleep at university and she was acquainted with my professor. Thank goodness these specialists have good communication skills, My GP is an excellent doctor and I have a lot of faith in him. The problem is that he has a very heavy Greek accent and I often usually have a hard time understanding him. |

We went through the lockdown and saw infections go up and then down again. We started easing restrictions and kept the rate under control, had more easing of restrictions. Then over the last couple of weeks the numbers soared. It happens very quickly and after the surge is noticeable you can count on their being a lot more people incubating more of the virus and the rise will be exponential, |

They track it with their gaze until it passes through the wall to exit, and then the cats look at us as for cues, exactly as they do when confronted with things of human origin they do not comprehend. Dogs can see those things as well, and will always bark. But whatever they are, they seem to not like loud noises, and you will notice that it happens more with cats than with dogs. === My dog does that:))))) |

After a bath, he'd run throughout the house like crazy. It was quite a spectacle. My guess is that getting wet triggered some kind of ancient reflex response in his widdle brain-pan. |
