    SmilingBluEyes replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's hard for me to care either. I try but I just can't feel sorry for those who cry "please vaccinate me" on their deathbed. They had a lot of time and advice to do so for a long time

    SmilingBluEyes replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation
