I live, write, and garden in the PNW with my husband of 27 years, disabled daughter, college-aged son, and my 84-year-old mother. We have paid off $250,000.00 worth of debt (if you include the interest) in the last fifteen years and as of 6/12/2020 are 100% DEBT FREE!!!!My middle sister has been badly ill for the last two weeks and I had been trying to get her to go the hospital for the last week, because I suspected Covid based on her symptoms and based on what we had been through in March of last year with it. Well, her husband came down with it as well and while it looks like she is going to come out of it, she is now under quarantine. BIL on the other hand had to be flown to Portland. He's got severe sleep apnea and the little hospital in the tiny Washington town did not have the resources to treat him. It is not looking very good for him. I wish they'd taken him to Vancouver or Seattle instead. Portland is a very dangerous city to be in these days.
So we don't know if BIL is going to make it. My sister is 56 years old. That is awfully young to become a widow. Hopefully that will not be the case. Prayers would be appreciated.
My sister, well both of them, really, have been very anti-Covid vaccine. While I am wary, I am willing. They've never been anti-vaccine before with standard vaccines. I know this is a whole different type of vaccine, that we know very little about it because there is no history, but I don't think it is population control or the mark of the beast or any of that. I don't know when my sisters went all conspiracy theory. I mean, don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good conspiracy theory, but I don't really believe any of them. I wonder if getting the virus will change their minds at all.
I just hope that they will be able to afford all this. Being airlifted is expensive without insurance, but BIL is on disability so he might be on government insurance, too. And most major hospitals have charitable assistance programs.
I believe sister has life insurance on him. At least I hope she does. It's been crazy these last couple of weeks. Hopefully it will all work out, but who knows. With sister living so far away, it is not like we can be there for her. At least her landlords will be taking care of her while she is in quarantine, bringing groceries and making sure she is alive every day.
I hate this virus.

And please get vaccinated when you can. Ignore the conspiracy crap. The vaccines are safe and effective.

I hope you get the vaccine. DH and I have both gotten it. He got Moderna and I got Pfizer. He was eligible before I was. Prayers for your family.
