Am hearing alarming issues with the covid vaccine that's been on the fast track to approval. We don't plan on getting it. If this mrna technology has been around for over 15 years why has there been no mrna flu vaccine? Or aids? Or any of the other viruses that affect us?
Our small rural county has been hit hard. The health department shut down in person dining but nothing else.... schools, factories, stores as normal. Mask up up but no one is doing any extra cleaning as they did in the spring. :idunno I don't get it. I am guessing most of the family owned restaurants won't make it...

Since you mentioned alarming issues........ I have never even had a flu shot, not taking this covid shot.

Yes!!! And it is affecting me and has affected me pretty bad on so many levels.

River Buffaloes! Are you sick? I have been missing you, it is good to hear from you. If sick, I hope it hasn't hit you terribly bad. What about your family? Is everyone ok?

Thank you @Baymule , I got sick earlier this year as you may have known from my thread "An Introduction to Buffaloes". I did lose a loved one to this, a very dear great uncle.

I lost my job because my contract was not renewed and I am jobless and depressed. That's why I was not here.

:hit:hitI am so sorry about your uncle. You did say that you were getting sick, I have been worried about you and have missed you. That sucks about losing your job. it's happening here too. Businesses are shutting down because of the lockdowns and restrictions. I am sorry that you are down and depressed. Times are bad, that's when we have to work hard to find our bright spots. I know your family depends on you sending money home and now you can't do that, so it affects them too. Any chance of finding another job? Are you considering going home until things get better?

I really don't know what I am going to do. The economy is not going to revive in foreseeable future. It's getting blow after blow, the farmers are on road protesting, getting gassed and hosed. Bihar is particularly poor, I can go back and cut the cost and save some money, but finding a job there is even more difficult than it is here. Whatever jobs that are there are low paying jobs. That being said I will go back for the Christmas.

I am fluent in Spanish and have a decent grasp on English. I have worked as an interpreter and tourist guide in Delhi, but there are no tourists because of the pandemic.

I sometimes think about my late great uncle a lot. His mother, that is my great grandmother survived the plague during the third plague pandemic. She caught the plague as a child and miraculously survived and her son lost the fight to covid19.

Our only hope is a vaccine.

We've been very fortunate to only have one family member get minor symptoms, and no one living here at the farm (was my oldest son, and he's got his own place). Mentally it's been very draining and disruptive, but we've never had to worry about our safety or it impacting our ability to make a living (I haven't seen my office since March 12, but honestly I'm 100% OK with that). Keeping school-aged kids on track and their anxiety under control is hard enough without forcing them to be locked up at home too. Fun times! :(

We are taking as many precautions as we possibly can, and I'm doing everything I can think of to keep everyone's spirits up and anxiety down. We've been doing a bunch of online donating to shelters and food banks this year, more than we ever have before. We're not rolling in dough, but the fact that we have some extra to share means we're doing a lot better than a lot of people, and we do what we can to help. I am thankful daily that we as a family are doing OK, because I know just how terribly this is impacting families just like mine all over the world.

We are so Blessed to have our little farm. We moved here almost 6 years ago from a small city lot. I can't imagine being there now, in lockdown. At least here we can grow a big garden, chickens for eggs and meat, feeder pigs, lambs and at the moment, a steer. Plenty to do to keep us busy and we won't go hungry. We share with neighbors that are less fortunate.

@River Buffaloes is your family able to grow a garden to help with the groceries? I know they have the buffaloes for dairy and I'm sure that helps. Even with growing your own food, you still need money for other things. We can't pay the electric and water bills with eggs or produce. For some silly reason, they want money. There are many items we use and consume that we can't grow, so must have something to pay for them with.

I really hope that things get better for you and your family.
