Our Nation Out of Control, So much for a Hope filled and Happy 2021! It's almost a night terror

 It is to the point of being unbearable, and just not even fathomable to believe what is happening in this nation....

Thoughts....

As I Said below "SO MUCH FOR A HAPPY, HOPEFUL & BRIGHT 2021! and if I said what I "think" I would probably have my home burned & be shot! Sorry folks I cannot fathom some of the things I've seen posted in places.... insanity, and now again rather than the focus on "COVUD-19" and the new strain that is already in TX, and all of those who have lost their lives or loved ones & now after that many people so elbow to elbow fighting, bleeding, breathing on one another... what about even worse than the pandemic than we already have! We don't have enough hospitals, beds, nurses, doctors, medications already and it just grows worse by the moment. What about all of us who are trying to "fight to keep well"? We are doing everything we can to avoid getting sick ourselves or making others sick??? We masks use curbside maintain distances, try and stay home, order online, sanitize, & I don't know about others but although I need a couple of things from the market today before the bad weather hits tomorrow, I FEAR going into any store..I am sure many will be in the stores not following guidelines and I am someone who really "should" have a vaccine... due to Lupus, RA. Heart conditions after 2 heart attacks, pseudo-gout plus the medications that cause me to be prone to getting sick & facing possible back surgery, but I have to wait, although even at a surgery center I still fear the virus, I have not started my new RA medication yet and should have 2 months ago, but feared changing it in the midst of all of this might cause me issues.. even my Rheumatologist does not know I have not changed. I am supposed to go to see him next Friday, but under what has happened I am going to ask for another virtual visit. even though he is in one of the doctor's buildings, they still are probably the largest medical facility with many hospitals... then I have to go to Dallas to have my pain pump refilled by the 18th. that one I can't miss, it has to be filled and the doctor has to do it. Then I was already hurting badly enough, and i guess due to this weather change coming, I could barely walk when I got up... I probably am in a Lupus/RA flare... BUT so many do not consider their consequinces of actions to what they can do to others, their families, friends & those out trying to help us daily. It is just almost unbearable and like some night terror in this country.

I am just completely frustrated with LIFE! People (it seems MANY have gone NUTS) I could not believe my eyes last night on the television! I completely turned off the news and watched other things... most channels were showing that horrid, terrible, insane scene in D.C.! To think I WALKED THRU THOSE VERY HALLWAYS in 2014!!!! When I went as an Ambassador with the Arthritis Foundation... and knowing how HUGE ND HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO GET AROUND IN THERE - HOW THE HECK THAT MANY PEOPLE COULD BREAK INTO CONGRESS IS BEYOND ME!!!! I HAVE ONE QUESTION??? IF "HOMELAND SECURITY" COULD NOT "NOW THIS AHEAD OF TIME" AND KEEP IT ROM HAPPENING HOW CAN WE FEEL SAFE FROM "OTHER TERRORISTS?" WE surely have ENOUGH "home grown ones right here!"

Lupus Month!

I believe when we FINALLY have done the research, have a "cure or something to lessen the illness when you contract it... that there is a possibility, we will also have Other vaccines and/or quick "healing" medications to get rid them quickly... I believe if there is ANYTHING "GOOD" that comes from this are LESSONS to be more prepared ^ have a few items "extra" stored away in a plastic tight lid container, safe room, to shelter or where ever you can get ti them easily... NOW not to mean to go out and BUY an entire STOCKPILE of items. But, things like alcohol, peroxide, bandages (just in case some were to cause sores or wounds). along with sanitizing.. enough for 8 to 10 weeks depending on your family size. wipes, spray, hand wipes antibacterial, hand soap etc. plus don't put
TRUST everything you hear or see, but more on what the experts like the the CDC, & your huge research hospitals/facilities that KNOW about the "makings" of something such as this. FROM this I truly believe we will see the true vaccines for Lupus & MANY other autoimmune grow by leaps & bounds.. so although we have so many horrid things come and that have came from pandemics before.. WE AS A NATION shall be well prepared to STOP things in their tracks before they take hold. I ALOS THINK OUR GOVERNMENT from "local" to state, national & possibly global is we have trusted allies. Just my thought with "Lupus Awareness month" after this pandemic hit us like a ton of bricks... May you find healing from ALL of the horrible Lupus Flares and all the disease this illness causes...

Many READY TO DECREASE THE RULES & REGULATIONS

YET MANY STILL NOT READY TO ALLOW EVERYONE TO TRY AND GO BACK TO WHATEVER OUT "NEW NORMAL" MAY LOOK LIKE....

I realize SO MANY people are hurting financially, mentally, emotionally, job wise.. 

I also realize that E as a NATION, could be pushing the envelop" open by a week or two. which "may" reek havoc & could cause a"worse pandemic" than what we have already seen.

As we enter a world that up till now is "unknown" to everyone, from doctors, nurses, all other types of medical professionals, patients, pharmacists, the PHARMA companies, medial researchers around the globe..WHO, the CDC, & all else.. we are not even sure if this is like a "flu" that can reoccur on some type of basis, or if it's a one time illness such as measles.

We don't have a "sure fire medication yet to even use to fight the disease once you are ill with it; much less any form of vaccine that can keep us completely inoculated against it or at least like the "flu" vaccine where it at least can lessen a case of the flu or usually unless it's an "new strain" & our "vaccine" from the previous year is not as, or even effective at all.

So, as we enter these uncharted waters, PLEASE Heed the WARNINGS THAT HAVE CAME DAY TO DAY AS THE PROFESSIONALS TRY TO LEARN MORE & RESOLVED THIS HORRENDOUS "WAR- OF A DISEASE" AGAINST HUMANS...
