How has the virus affected you directly?

Little ray of sunshine in my world amidst all the gloom and doom. My mom went in for her 4th round of chemo this past Wed. Before each treatment they test her cancer antigens to see if treatment is effective. The lower the better. Before her first treatment they were at 458 which is on the high end. Wed when they tested it has dropped all the way to 51. They are shooting for 35 with zero being the obvious ideal. Her immune system is shot to hell and she feels like crap but it is definitely headed where we want it. I thought a little positivity in the universe would be a good thing about now.

Good to hear that she is doing a bit better.

My daughter got appendicitis Thursday night. Surgery was Friday morning, I picked her up Saturday.

Thank to the COVID19 precautions, neither I nor my wife I could not spend one minute in the hospital to visit or comfort her (she's 19, a legal adult).

That's so difficult. Terrible timing for appendicitis, and glad she's doing well.

Las Vegas checking in. Fortunately, our veterinary clinic is an essential business. We started seeing clients "curbside only" on March 18th after Gov. Sisolak issued the stay-at-home directive. (Honestly, I give that dude a ton of credit for making that call. Vegas was set up to be a petri dish, just like NYC. Can't imagine the pressure that guy had on him - shutting down the casinos, etc.) Anyways, we keep our lobby doors locked and have the clients call us when they arrive, and a vet tech goes out to retrieve the animal and get the history from the client. The doctor sees the animal, develops a care plan and estimate for the client, and she calls them (usually they're still parked outside) to discuss everything. Payments are preferably taken over the phone, but the techs also collect when returning the animals to the clients. We are discouraging routine stuff like wellness checks, boarding, and booster vaccines. But, anything medically necessary we are seeing. So far, business hasn't been too bad. Animals still need care, and someone has to do it. We applied for the PPP loan just in case, because we need to keep our staff and associate veterinarian. Any staff who gets sick, we tell them to stay home and we will still pay them. We will come out of this better than most businesses, and I can't deny that I feel a bit guilty about that. Hoping for more "normalcy" after April.

Side note: This town is really frickin' eerie right now. It's not meant to be empty like this. I always wondered what Las Vegas would look like in Stephen King's "The Stand", and now we have some idea lol.
