I really do not like harboring dislike or even hate. It does not make me feel better. This one is deep.
What state are you in?

The following story surprised me, and does to this day, being in NYS.

In May 2020, right in the middle of the hysteria, I took my 88 year-old neighbor in to see her son who was dying in the hospital. They'd called her and said it wouldn't be long. He'd been on dialysis for about 10 years, and I think he had some sort of cancer that did him in. It wasn't Covid.

We all had to be masked of course, but she went right in his room and held his hand when he drew his last breath. The nurses asked me if I wanted to go in, but I declined. It was all perfectly normal except for the masks. I didn't think this would happen anywhere, despite what someone was dying of.

It was a (relatively) small hospital compared to some, but they all had to follow the rules from those on high in DC.
