Lockdown impacts on children: this is going to be bad

My kid has the choice to go to in person or online. I think it's important he goes back to school.

Yes, I am at risk and will take what precautions we can.

If I end up hospitalized again, it will be a great hardship, just like it was a few years ago when I was hospitalized with a severe life threatening salmonella infection that I got from a bad restaurant meal. Fortunately I lived and the restaurant ended up having to pay us a very large sum of money. Which is one of the reasons we live in such a nice house now

But that infection resulted in my being compromised and I do fear that Covid may take my life.

Only 25,000 people a year are hospitalized with salmonella, as it usually only affects those with crappy immune systems like me. Only 450 die each year, in the US and I was almost one them. My ordeal was frightening and debilitating and super expensive, like $150,000 in hospital bills. We really don't want to have to go through something like that again. We only eat food that I prepare at home and have been doing the nadwashinh and being careful long before Covid came around. So we have had some practice at being careful and cautious thanks to my experience with a deadly salmonella infection.

And with over 125,000 people already dead, Covid seems much more a threat than the food borne illnesses I've been so worried about

I have PTSD from the hospitalization and it was super hard on my kid and my husband, way worse than what he is going through now.

Thanks for wearing a mask. No one at my husband's job will wear one, and they make fun of him for doing so. He's only gone into his office once since the pandemic shut downs began and we will find out if he has acquired Covid by the end of this week from his visit last week.

I keep telling him that they better pray that it's me that dies and not him, because I will come after them with a vengeance, either with my very good attorney or something even worse. I think if my husband dies, I would lose my mind and all self control.
