![]() Really feel for someone we know and are close to. She's 69 year old, lost her husband to lung cancer a couple of years ago and now lives alone. Before all this covid-19 thing erupted she and her best friend booked a cruise leaving from Florida for the end of this month. They also booked a trip to Italy in the fall. Obviously, the cruise is cancelled. At about the same time she was diagnosed with a return of breast cancer that she was originally treated for 30 years ago. She now faces more surgery and chemo. We may all be experiencing some anxiety now-days but there are others faced with much more. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

I saw on one of the FB military pages, they are going to bring back a couple of the military hospital ships, just to take regular medical emergencies out of the hospitals. I assume everyone gets screened before they can come aboard and I hope they are sequestered as best they can for a couple of weeks. |

USNHS Mercy is going to West Coast. Only problem is the Comfort is currently undergoing repairs and won't be ready to deploy until mid-April although the repair work is going to be expedited hopefully to get it to NY sooner. Also heard a couple of carriers may join them. Carriers have substantial hospital-like facilities that may be of help in a similar way of the two hospital ships. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |
