Nit Picking a little aren’t you . The same could be said for a family that is proud of their new house that you could say is not theirs until the mortgage company has received the last payment.

And yes people die from all sorts of things but very few require complete separation from their own family members like Covid-19 does.

Sometimes people who rent are proud of their homes.

There was a brief time before somebody brought up the president that I thought this would be about cars and covid. Stop. And you can’t post stuff about the president without expecting CSA to say what CSA is going to say.

And CSA, please, let’s not stand on third base and assume we hit a triple when tsk-tsking other people about chronic disease. (I’m adapting the old quote from Barry Switzer, I think it was.) It’s very off-putting to other people, though I am pleased you have been able to maintain this level of health.
