Regarding COVID and the astrologically predicted public health crisis, we're seeing it now. The crisis is this: EVERYTHING. We're seeing every usual health problem people have times two; people are just a lot sicker. The substance abuse and mental health folks are probably times three, which I saw coming when the lockdowns started. Where I'm at, I've seen one COVID positive in 4 weeks; of course, that's one ER. There's also a massive shortage of RNs now, which is exacerbating all the usual problems we have. People are spending much longer times in the ERs because we can't admit or transfer people who need it, because there aren't enough RNs on the inpatient units to accept more patients. So pray you don't need to go to the ER or be admitted. I don't know if it's like that everywhere, but I've heard this is a problem in a lot of areas.

As far as COVID and young people goes, I've seen one 20 something who was normally healthy who was sick enough with COVID to require oxygen and even that one was able to go home and did fine.

So there's things on the front lines.

Sincerely,
Brother Josephus
