@#1

Forgot to add, emphasis mine.

@#4 ... The disease that we have known about for over 1,000 years ...

Yeah.

That makes me wonder ... She's hearing from people sick with the virus, as well as their caregivers, that "measles is so much worse than what they expected."

Why was it "so much worse than they expected?" Where were the getting their medical information about measles?

@#5 ... never had the mumps ...

I had the mumps when I was in my late 20's.

When I received my childhood vaccines, mumps was not yet included.

So, in my late 20's I got the mumps from a neighborhood kid when I attended heir family BBQ.

Fortunately, my testes remained good during that episode. I was fortunate.

But wow, having to call in sick for work because, "I have the mumps."

I will say, that was an interesting conversation I had with my manager.

I distinctly remember his closing comment of the conversation ... stay home. We don't want what you have. So just stay home, you will be paid. Just stay home until you have recovered.

@#11 ... Not this time. ...

My current situation ....

I visited my PCP (primary care provider) medical person.

I was informed that I may have an issue.

So I was referred to a specialist.

I was also told that it may be a couple of weeks before I hear back from that specialist because the specialist needs to get insurance company approval before they will see me.

Healthcare for profit. Ya gotta love it. /s
