The entire evacuation debacle could have been avoided with proper planning and doing things in the correct order. Not even going to mention the billions of dollars of equipment left for the Taliban. Why not blow it all up when they left?

We have had a light but steady rain for the last couple of days and I have been able to keep my mowing caught up in the occasional dry spot. The okra in the garden liked it and I cut a little over 8 quarts of sliced okra and another 7 pints of okra and tomatoes. I already had about enough okra but one of our neighbors had planned on freezing around ten pounds but she got covid awhile back and now has that RSV so I gave her enough of our vacuum sealed bags of okra for her needs. I never even heard of RSV until this year.

RSV is very common in cattle... it comes often from stress from some other infection or situation...... it is similar to many other respiratory problems.... and in people it seems to be even more difficult to stop than in animals.... and if I am not mistaken it happens mostly in babies/infants/very young children. Can be treated fairly easily with antibiotics... but like everything else, it needs to be treated and aggressively early on. A healthy immune system is again your best course of action.... will wear you down because anything that creates difficulty in breathing makes you tired and weaker...
Sorry for the neighbor having continued problems... and you are to be commended for helping them out.

All those that have RSV are getting treatment. It started with one of more of the young children living there then would up getting passed on to the Grandparents and then to the friend mentioned above who is the Great Grandma (all in the same family but living in two homes).
