Still Playing The Waiting Game

Thanksgiving was quiet.
No big fan-fare, no family gathering.

The question came up of what about Christmas?
My thoughts (sometimes out loud) were that this shouldn't even be a question!
If we in essence cancelled Thanksgiving, and numbers are expected to 
surge because of those that refused to stay home....then um yeah 
Christmas is off the table!
Maybe I have been too vocal about it. Not wanting us to gather.
But when you have immunocompromised people and people of a certain age
well..........you know, I just had to say something.  Maybe too much.
But I just don't think it should have been a question of should we or not.
We're NOT...so that's that.

As to the problem I've been having.
Well, it's still a shit show.
Going on almost two months and no one can seem to straighten this shit out.

They keep denying my existing claims. Saying I have a third party primary 
insurer. Which I DO NOT have!  I've gone through the "proper" channels
several times now.  And they still can't get their shit together.

I was told to call the company in question and ask them to cancel the policy 
they supposedly have in my name.  BUT, here's the thing...There is no policy to
cancel because there is no premium being paid.  AND here's the kicker, the
company they are claiming is my other insurance isn't even an insurance company!!!

So how can I call a company to cancel something they don't even offer and
without a policy or ID number.  I honestly don't know what else to do!

I'm concerned though too that even if when this gets sorted out that things will be
delayed even more because Covid numbers here are on the rise.  Hospitals are
getting stressed.  One hospital chain here is sending people home with a pulse ox
meter, a blood pressure cuff, and an Ipad with an ICU Doctor assigned to their case to
monitor their condition from home in order to try to keep beds available for the worst cases.
AND People don't want to wear a fucking mask.  Because "OMGAWD MY FREEDOMS!"

I've lost a cousin to this shit.
I've several friends who have had it and recovered.  One is having residual side effects though.
And now, we know someone who was just admitted to the ICU and looking at being 
placed on a vent because her oxygen levels are so low.  
A friend of "Mom's" just came home from the hospital on oxygen after being in for a few 
days with a positive diagnosis.  She had blood clots in her lungs from Covid

JUST WEAR THE DAMN MASK!
Yes it can be uncomfortable. Yes it can be annoying.
But it is better than getting sick or getting a loved one sick.
It's better than you or some one you love dying.
WEAR THE FUCKING MASK!!!!!!!!!!!!
