[Fuusmchat] Just an update from me

[Sandra Bush]

Dear Bev,   I don't think we have ever met, but your letter moved me at
several levels.  First,  I am so sorry for your health problems.  I
understand well how frustrating and limiting they can be.  The longer some
of us live, the more we seem to accumulate!  Take good care of yourself.
Your son's problem is one that is also difficult to deal with from both his
perspective and yours.  His struggle is one that takes great courage. My
thoughts and prayers are with both of you.
     I was alarmed to read that you think you may be an (asymptomatic )
carrier of the COVID-19 virus.  It would be in everyone's best interest if
you and others with this possible condition not travel and expose other
unsuspecting people to what might be a minor problem for you, but what
could be a major problem for them.  The scientific community is still in
the process of determining how asymptomatic carriers shed (transmit) the
virus and for how long.
     Be sure to keep your son's apartment sanitized, and avoid close
contact with him (or anyone).   Get your son immediate treatment , should
he show symptoms, and let the medical team know of your experience in
Cleveland. This is a time when we all must show the greatest of care- for
our own sake and that of others who come into our lives. Staying put will
be our key to saving lives until this wretched virus is gotten under
control.
     Blessings,  Sandra
