We need 50 million doses, so all are welcome.

And for the rabid prolifers who won't get a vaccine using aborted fetus cell lines, the Moderna vaccine is pure in this ethical issue.

I am a bit cynical...the left hates the vaccine because Trumps operation warp speed developed it quickly. The data by August suggested it was safe and worked, but political operatives like Gov. Cuomo said he wouldn't let the vaccine be used in his state. So now the election is over, 2 vaccines are suddenly being made available.

I wonder how many elders died because the vaccine did not get an early release in August? And now Powerlineblog in Minnesota said their nursing homes are getting cases.

Sigh. Send the vaccine into nursing homes ASAP please.

Here, the maid reported that the mayor's wife, and maybe the mayor, tested positive.

Sigh. In our prayers....one of the best and more honest mayors in the Philippines.

 Much of Luzon was declared to be in a state of emergency due to 2 typhoons back to back....as I reported in previous posts the second one went right over our area....And we are still cleaning up.

One of the farmer's daughters is sick and came to be checked out. She has rheumatic heart disease and brought a bunch of papers from her evaluation 2 years ago. They recommended surgery, but even the discount for the poor meant they needed 2000 dollars. So they just went home. Now she is worse and has jaundice, so we sent them to Dr Angi who put her in the local hospital for evauation.

Kuya will work with the father to get her certified as indigent so she can get help for hospital bills.

Her husband works in Taiwan, but is stuck there due to quarantine and has lost his job and survives by doing odd jobs.

A sad case since replacing two heart valves in someone who is this sick is risky...but less invasive release of the stenotic valve might help if full surgery would be too risky...but would have to be done in Manila...

Sigh.

Finally, the dogs are due for their rabies shot. Usually I take them, but with covid the maid took them one at a time.

At the vet, after his shot, Barry got off the leash and ran away, and tried to hide in the middle school yard across the street..they caught him but not before he scared some of the kids. Luckily he doesn't bite.

I am back on my tablet so excuse typing errors.
