We got the FBI briefing, the pictures they had were unbelievable. The scariest part is, they don't know why. He didn't leave a note and only his odd religion to reptile aliens seemed out of place.

That’s part of what gives me chills every time I see the images. Just senseless.
Major props to Metro PD for what they did to prevent the loss of life, but for someone like 101st who’s been in war zones that look like that, I’m sure it takes on a whole new meaning seeing it in a place you know and have good memories within.

It sucked seeing it last night. On the right edge of that picture there is a light pole with x-mas decorations on it. Those decorations were lit last night.

Some concerning news regarding one of our "old" board members. Those of you who may remember Quartermaster, he and Mrs. Q have been in the hospital with Covid. Not sure which hospital, probably one in Rutherford County where they live. Mrs Q went in on 7/31 and was released 8/5. QM was admitted during the time she was there and is still hospitalized. Sounds like he'll probably live but he's not in great shape ATM and she is asking for your positive thoughts and prayers.
Yes, he was the one who drove QM to the hospital.
Hard to fathom.
Since I posted the above he is in critical care but he is lucid enough to have sent Mrs. QM a picture of himself in his CPAP gear because it was funny looking and he thought it would bring her a smile. I'm taking that as a good sign.

Of course, but a day ago he was confused and disoriented so seemed like an improvement.
I'm so sorry about your friend.
My sister's neighbor had a breakthrough case. Was immunized in April and is probably 70 or so. Neighbor seems fine other than being a little under the weather.
I just realized that this should have probably gone in the Covid thread. @Jonesey please move if you see fit. Thanks!

It's actually what's called BiPap basically as close to being on a ventilator as you can get without being intubated. If hes on BiPap after having come off the vent, it's a good sign. If hes on Bipap and hasnt yet been on the vent, hang on, could get rough.
To the penalty box with the lot of you !
You get 5 for farting ….. or it was the dog, right ?
I do not think he's been on a vent at all, but I'll check her posts again.
Edit:
Initial Post:
1. I (Mrs QM) was admitted to the hospital for COVID complications on 7/31. I recovered enough to come home on 8/5.
2. While I was in the hospital, Caleb had to bring Michael into the emergency room and he was admitted for COVID complications then, and he was worse off than I was. His oxygen levels were low enough that he was not fully coherent and they put him on bi-pap to force oxygen into him so he could breathe.
3. Just as I was being discharged, they upgraded him to the COVID unit and put him on something like c-pap where his o2 levels had stabilized enough for "regular" COVID care. They wheeled me into his room as he was arriving and I was leaving. This is the ONLY time I have seen my husband in person since 7/31 and it was literally for 60 seconds.
4. Tonight, they have moved Michael back to the critical care unit and put him back on bi-pap because his o2 saturation levels are dropping again.
Now, for those of you who know Michael, you know he is not good with hospitals. He has never been in the hospital for himself, only for the birth of his own children and when I have had surgeries. But the lack of oxygen has added to his mental confusion and the man that I speak to when I get a chance to facetime him is not my Michael right now and I would imagine he is a little scared and a lot isolated.
Later post:
Michael had a pretty good night. The bi-pap has brought his oxygen levels up and he seems a bit more alert this morning. Allison's goal today is to get him back on the other oxygen tube and off the bi-pap and see if he can keep his O2 up.
And then later on he was joking with the nurses and with Mrs. QM. She has said that it is okay to pass on information.

Wife took a job teaching in the next county so we are moving. Amazing how much crap a house can accumulate in 18 years!

Prayers to QM and his family; if they're not having him self prone, I would recommend that he do that on his own (while off the NIV/BiPap mask) if, he is indeed, able to come off the device. We have seen a spike at our hospital as well, so be safe out there folks. This time uptick in cases has definitely targeted a younger population.

On a completely different subject the Perseid and delta Aquariids meteor showers have been pretty good this week, Perseid peaked last night and between 3 & 4:45 eastern time I saw 36 definite and a handful of possible/very faint ones. 27 the night before.
It's Friday night so maybe some of you can get out well away from lights and check it out.

Hey! We suck!
Those things are cool but also a little bit scary after listening to a few interviews with Randall Carlson. Passing through the Torrid meteor stream twice a year is basically us participating in a demolition derby and praying we don't get hit too hard. If yall haven't seen it look up the videos of the last kind of scary one that exploded above Russia in 2013.
