Cheers!

Just the two of us here, as it has been for most of the last two years, so I'll be around off and on.

[Jefgte]

I'll be there too. I think I'll be a little "tired" on 25-26-31 and 1st.
Happy Christmas everyone.

I am returned.

Unfortunately I had planned to 'catch up' and then 'get ahead' in Navalism this past week,
but there was a bit of a family medical emergency which is fine now,
which meant I spent my time otherwise.

I will try at least to get the Parthian turns and the various maps updated this weekend :)

May 2022 be better than 2021 !

[The Rock Doctor]

Glad the emergency's fine now, but sorry to hear it happened in the first place.

We're keeping an eyeball on my mother-in-law.  In her words, "Half the residents" in her retirement home have Omicron, and there have been staffing problems on top of that.  She's been ill, but not severely, and so with the shortage of tests all over Canada, she's not actually received one.

[Jefgte]

Hopefully 2022 will be the end of COVID !!!

[TacCovert4]

Well. It won't "end", but I think that omicron is the sign that it's headed towards flu status.....common, but rarely deadly.

[Kaiser Kirk]

I think that 'flu like' is where we are headed.  It fits the historical pattern for such things.

Omnicrom...and I keep thinking that sounds like a transformer - Omnicrom Prime, anyhow, it seems to be more transmissible, but less virulent.
I suspect the next round will be 'flu like'.

Plus not only do we know better how to treat, but there's now..2? new pills authorized for treatment, I hear the US Army has it's own vaccine nearly ready,

So the seriousness and consequences are coming down...

and folks are so tired of all this and ready to declare "Good Enuff"

I have mentioned navalism in a wargaming discord I'm on.  So we may see a new member or two sign up to see what's going on here and see if this is something they'd enjoy doing. 

[The Rock Doctor]

Nice.  I tried flogging us a bit but it doesn't seem to have been fruitful.

Shoot me a DM on Discord if/when they register, I can do the needful.

[The Rock Doctor]

Mrs. Rock has been sick for ten days and the doc reckons it's COVID, despite three negative rapid tests.  It's kicking her butt much like a really bad cold, and hopefully doesn't do any more than that.

[TacCovert4]

Hopefully it remains as a bad cold, and goes away as a bad cold.  Prayers.

[Jefgte]

Let's hope for a rapid improvement in her health.

[The Rock Doctor]

Thanks guys.  She seems less awful today, so we'll just keep on that path.

[Kaiser Kirk]

Glad to hear she's improving, keep it up :)
