1. It's just getting worse and worse...

Broward isn't as bad as Dade, but boy what a jolt to turn on CNN and see the head of your neighborhood hospital (Memorial West) say they are past ICU capacity already. Where am I going to take my 92 year old dad from Century Village if he gets sick, that's his hospital too?

We are taking every precaution that we can think of and then some, hopefully this means he won't ever have to step foot in a hospital! Wishing you and your family good health too!
