Not a criticism, Scuba, but do you or does anyone have any good news to report? I'm getting so tired of all the doom and gloom that we are surrounded with. I've turned off the tv and radio and am avoiding all social media (except TTOL) because I want to live in my little bubble and think happy thoughts.

There's a song from the old musical, South Pacific, that comes to mind. "Happy Talk" and that's what I want to both speak and hear for a while.


Respectfully,

pat

Today's good news is that the S&P is up around 5 1/2%.

Now that's something the Caribbean REALLY needs. Earthquakes, CV, now a bunch of hurricanes???
Pat, tidbit of good news. With hair and nail places closed, some of us are saving more money for our next trip to our island LOL.

Pat, Just think about Barbara's bird "Anna" and all will be well again. She always makes us smile whenever we think about her!

Other good news centers around a Covid-19 micro-needle patch vaccine that looks super promising from the University Of Pittsburgh Medical Center. The unfortunate side of this, however, is that it will take many months to reach the public when in fact the world needs this now. It will have to pass three clinical trials, then gain FDA approval, and then be mass produced to the public. Hopefully, this won't get bogged down in bureaucratic red tape like the COVID-19 test kits did back in January. So, instead of reading or watching all the negative stuff that revolves around this virus, I try to search out new data on vaccines and possible anti-viral medicines that can be used before the vaccine arrives. This helps me stay positive as best as possible during times like these.

Not every country has the same venting process for new drugs.

bonsie,

I’m not BLAMING anyone - just saying we need more good news to set our sights on. I’ve actually had people call me purely for the sole purpose of belly-aching about the situation we are ALL finding ourselves in and acting as if they’re the only ones being inconvenienced. The world is going through a terrible time and we have to keep the faith. This, too, will pass and we ALL need to do our part to make it work.

And for those who have had the pleasure (?) of meeting her, Anna is a hoot even if she isn’t an owl and I’m wondering why she and Diedrich can’t get along since they’re both very funny and each with personalities you have to love.

Happy thoughts, people, happy thoughts! Keep ‘em coming, please.


Respectfully,

pat
