Thank you for vividly capturing our plight. Today's letter, your commentary, and the words of others here convey how far America has sunk. But Fern's posting of "Still I Rise" saved me, at least for now, from despair. With an assist from your line: "Let's listen to Nina Simone, end the filibuster, and get on with it."

Michael, I read widely and wonder about the schedule for your neck surgery as Portland has a large surge of covid. I would like to know how your doing. My experience as a caregiving for my husband spurs the concern. Please respond only if it suits you. Salud!
Thanks very much for your concern. Surgery is scheduled for Sept. 22. I had some pre-surgery tests this week at the hospital and was told that the Covid surge shouldn't cause a delay but to stay tuned. If the surgery is scheduled early in the day and there are no complications, I will likely avoid spending the night at the hospital. Must self-isolate at least a week before and get a Covid test a few days ahead of the operation.
A model from Oregon Health and Science University forecasts that statewide COVID-19 hospitalizations will peak on Sept. 6. Also, the availability of ICU and non-ICU beds stands at 8%.

You have me smiling and that's a good thing. I hope the number of infections come down, too. Thank you, Michael.
