I guess this amounts to good news, especially as it relates to patients requiring vents, but I find the number of ICU patients to be a bit of a concern. I know three people who are sick with covid at present. One is feeling quite ill., but he remains at home. He also has a long term HIV infection. My other two friends feel lousy but not in a scary way. As for myself (age 75), I am mostly avoiding crowds, doing mask and dash to the grocery, and not much else. More will be revealed.

Instacart and Door Dash are your friend. During the height of Covid around here, that's all we did. Wife still uses them when she doesn't feel like going to the store...which is a lot.
