The Mysterious Coronavirus Spreading Worldwide

[vern]

So... Why the fuss is continuing?

To me tje weekly testing costing me 400 a month is not needed... And vaccinated still infect others... So its a true discrimination.

Covid 19. Time to move on I’d say, my whole family got covid 19 last week. We live with our in laws and they have underlying health issues but they seemed to recover quite well as they had 3 booster shots. I hope they get rid of the mask at the meetings in the next couple of months as it’s getting old and extremely annoying. It’s not covid fatigue it’s now time to move on after 2years.

Covid 19  is on the rise again

The news I'm reading says that no one can tell if Covid will rise high again during summer this year..

You can see the western part of Australia lights up last with the Omicron wave.

We had a huge cruise ship come into port. Huge. I’m surprised it could get in! Anyway, someone at the bank, said they’d bring a boatload of money. I said, “yeah”, Covid too. He said we will probable give it to them!

True, last week 169 new cases. And, people are still dying. Not as many, but, still…

We still wear our mask when we go out. Not many still do…

A sister that attended our Tuesday meeting tested positve today. She had taken a self test on Tuesday it was negative and concluded she was suffering from hayfever. Got sicker that night, got tested a a clinic this morning and is positive.

52 exposed. Inperson meeting for Sunday canceled. At least if there are no further infections we are down to a just five day isolation.

My am still avoiding inperson meetings. Gertrude has been attending in person but after a day of doctors appoinments (mine) she stayed at home last night.

We had a young brother that was on Zoom last night. One of the sisters in the K H said, “It’s strange to not see you here at the meeting, your family is here.” 
 

He replied that “a couple coworkers had tested positive for covid so I thought it best to be cautious.”

 

I’m like….why did his wife and 2 babies go to the Hall since they’ve been around him? 🤦‍♀️ 

I’m like glad I wasn’t there.

I was set to give my first part in the Kingdom Hall, but, I was at a barbecue with a brother who recently tested positive for covid, so it looks like I'm doing the part over zoom.  This is the 2nd time covid has run through this brother's family.

The BOE just came to a unfied conclusion, Zoom meeting this Sunday.

 

An elder just posted  this: "Just an observation but all the girls (Including the covid victum) sat together last night and joined hands fo the prayer."

 We planned a vacation to Portugal this past school Spring holidays, where we would catch the Memorial on Zoom (at the time of booking we were still meeting 100% on Zoom). The week before we were scheduled to leave on our flight, our congregation was meeting altogether with our 2 language groups (that normally meet separately) for that MWM. Well, we opted to stay home and watch the meeting over Zoom, just in case. Turns out that was a good decision for our family and before leaving for Portugal. At that MWM, someone was indeed positive with corona, and the ones who were around this person were later informed. I haven't heard anyone else catching it from that meeting, but it's not really advertised who has corona when someone is positive. I think it almost impacted meeting together for the Memorial at the KH, but it worked out where they could go to the KH in person in the end. But hybrid meetings are truly a blessing because life as it is right now with corona is so uncertain. 

 

So again it must be reiterated if someone is displaying flu-like symptoms, or have other personal reasons, then watch over Zoom, and don't feel bad. I think especially parents have to be more conscious if their children have a slight sniffle or a cough, then to remember to stay home, especially if their child doesn't like wearing masks. I think one single mother forgot at our last meeting as both of her children were displaying a slight cold, runny nose, a little cough, and weren't wearing masks, and the KH was full again.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding but don’t families normally sit together?  And many hold hands…

Sorry Brother Jerry, I know laughter probably wasn't the best response but I have noticed that you can watch and tell who's likely to get Covid. There's a lovely family in a neighbouring congregation, wife is a theatre nurse, I saw they weren't being cautious with guests and wasn't surprised a few weeks later when they all caught covid after visiting a Witness family. I'm just glad they all made a full recovery but I'm still wearing my mask in public. 

[Hotteok]

Korean gov now allows all pedestrians to take off masks.. masks required only indoors yet no one including non-jws is taking their masks off..

many benefits to wearing one. No cold, avoid polluted air.. you become invisible.. (cause no one notices you.. if they didn’t, notices you less)etc.

A neighboring congregation had a potential exposure and went back to Zoom for a couple meetings just as a precaution.

 

My family and I attended a rock concert a couple Saturdays ago that had 9000 in attendance. We stayed home Sunday and connected via Zoom just in case we picked something up there.

 

So far, I've managed to dodge this virus altogether.

So, at a rock concert - are the performers "pet rocks"?

And I predicted about 20 Million about 6 months ago.

Where I am, there's already a sixth wave going on since about the end of March. Maybe you missed one? Or maybe we got an extra one that you never got?

It all depends where you live at, and how the media word it too.
