Anyone else currently quarantining with their vaxxed ex who got a breakthru case in Fla before handing off vaxxed kid (so far -) and all had to flee a friend reunion b/c of (esp) an immune comped little kid and now is in a friend of friend/HERO's apt in old Bklyn hood?
Just me?
So far the only upside, aside from great friends who put this escape plan all together is i STILL know what to order from my fave restaurants in Fort Greene
Folks who've had to quarantine, esp not in their own house: what should I be ordering for health and/or sanity?
My friends in the house we just had to flee currently building the lanterns to honor the amazing kid who's memorial (not Covid) we couldn't attend (partly b/c of Covid) and these last two years have just been so unrelentingly awful on every level.
Child calls out from quarantine bedroom #2: “Mom, can I have a big bowl, and a cutting board, and a banana, and a knife and a spoon?”

My dad save an entire, substantial, file folder of letters written to him and @NatGeo protesting the inclusion of photos of nudes that ran with his article on…the Sistine Chapel
Having spent an unpaid summer internship working in the @NatGeo Research Correspondent department, I can confirm that most correspondence was about cranky letters from old people and school kids asking about banana slug penises. But this paper CC trail!
Ask your healthcare provider and/or workers themselves if they are vaccinated.
You have the right to know if they're putting you in danger.
