Covid In Photos

 

When I went to grab some subs I saw this sign showing that Firehouse Subs still have not gone back to having their hot sauce bottles. They had little to go packs of 3 different kinds that you could grab. I missed all of the different options they used to have including the fruit ones. Even though I think people should still be careful of covid, I think now that the world has returned to 'normal' that companies should give people access to what they had offered and let them make the choice to use them. They could also have wipes out for people to wipe the bottles down. That way everyone is happy.

Covid in Photos

 

This was taken at RMR (VA hospital in Aurora, CO). The VA are still on high covid alert and masks are still required. This makes sense since while we were in the ER it seemed like at least half of the people there were sick with covid. Some of the people had been waiting hours to get the results of a test that is supposed to be done in 15 minutes. The VA just doesn't have the staff it needs.

This was the trash can by the elevators in one of the parking garages. They don't even have the staff to keep up with the trash.
