He's not trying to score brownie points as far as I can tell. Even the way he responded to his sister who was overreacting to a health issue, made me say "right on" ( and I haven't used that expression in decades)! He basically told her to chill and follow his dad's advice to go to your room and come out when you are better.</P> Wed, 18 Mar 2020 17:04:16 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/The-Mercy-and-The-Comfort/m-p/6104793#M1530767 AuntG 2020-03-18T17:04:16Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/The-Mercy-and-The-Comfort/m-p/6104993#M1530862 <P>They are both undergoing maintenance right now.&nbsp; One should be ready in several days, the other will take several weeks as per MSNBC just now.&nbsp; Also they must be loaded with equipment which must be obtained, they are not equipped for severe ICU cases, and they must find find experienced medical personnel to staff them, many of which in the past have been civilian volunteers, retired military and others.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>So all this may not all be accomplished with short timelines that may be approaching.</P> Wed, 18 Mar 2020 18:10:05 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/The-Mercy-and-The-Comfort/m-p/6104993#M1530862 Scorpio1971 2020-03-18T18:10:05Z
