Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
You have the most delightful friends, imaginary or otherwise, and you write so amusingly you should be on the script team for some tv comedy. Have you ever thought of doing a tube show? If you can deliver your stories in such a droll way as you write, you'll be a star.

Thank you, Carol! I'm flattered. I'm reveling in the fantasy; your wonderful words are virtually engraved on my imaginary memorial Emmy statuette. Cheers. LIZ
This story is true!
Comment from T B Botts
Hey Liz,
So glad Chuck is OK. I'm praying for Lauren for a quick recovery. It's obvious that there is still a lot of controversy surrounding this vaccine. I think anytime you let fear become the determining factor in making a decision, you've given up common sense. I had a vaccine for covid- one shot, the J&J, only because of the paranoia surrounding the whole mess and I didn't want to get stuck in Liberalville while I was fishing. How many more shots or boosters or mask mandates are we going to put up with? Basically the country as we knew it is gone. When is enough enough? If the government was so wise in all of this mandate crap, we would have a cure by now. It hasn't happened. Lets get a life. Well done Liz, as always.
Have a blessed day.
Tom

Thanks for your good wishes! Vaccinated people also get corona--the delta variant is nasty. Regardless, I'll be getting my booster ASAP--earliest appointment I could get is 11/22.
Comment from Shirley McLain
I hope your daughter is doing ok. There are so many phobias around this virus and most don't make sense to be. My husband and I were both vaccinated but I came down with breakthrough covid. I know in my heart as sick as I was, I would've died if not for the vaccinations. I've now had my booster.
I did not see any errors in your writing. Great job. Shirley

This COVID stuff has got to end and very soon. I am praying for your daughter and you. I know it's a real and dangerous disease, but all the hype needs to get over all ready. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Judy Lawless
I'm glad Chuck got his vaccination to protect his brother, something many anti-vaxxers don't understand. But it took actually being in contact with someone close to him who wasn't vaccinated and got the virus to completely convince him he'd done the right thing. I often wonder why more anti-vaxxers don't seem to be hit with this reality.

Guys can be freaked out about the oddest things. I think you can allow your imagination to go wild and convince yourself that can't breathe. but apparently you did witness this horifying occurance.

He was able to breathe perfectly normally all along! His fear had produced his false memory.
Comment from Ric Myworld
I get such a kick out of how people dream up symptoms in their heads and remember things that never really happen. But they are very common fabrications, and ones they truly come to believe. I've gotten two shots and a booster, and had no fever, sore arm, or any other symptoms. Which makes me roll my eyes whenever I hear all the cry baby antics. LOL. I'm just teasing YOU. Hope Lauren is starting to feel better. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Liz.
As you chronicle in this post, covid-19 has become the talking point for most of the conversations in the country. Whether it's between friends or others, it seems to dominate the landscape. Unfortunately, it has the power to create hard feelings between people.
I noticed your word play and it is quite clever. It's good that Chuck didn't have his self anticipated reaction. No one needs to have anything added to their discomfort.
Hopefully, Chuck will be just fine and Lauren will recover quickly.
Robert

I got the booster and a flu shot the same day.
Comment from Theodore McDowell
wish I had a six, this is one of your best, combining plays of words, rhye (sp) humor, and serious issues. I wish your daughter a quick recovery--she will live but wishes she were dead. So true.

Comment from Seshadri_Sreenivasan
An interesting story indeed. And Chuck is a one-of-a-kind man. Misinformation is one major reason since people with a range of minor allergies seem sceptical. Covid jabs are safe for persons who are allergic to some food or drug, but taking the jab at a major hospital should make them less nervous.I enjoyed your story. Thanks for sharing!

That's a good decision. And while in a group or a crowded place, don't forget to wear the mask. Good luck!
