I'm sorry to hear about this. Hopefully you didn't go to the nearby "Leo, a Public House" afterwards to unwind, where the man-child bartender who thinks he's hip hounds the living fuck out of everyone for a vax card.

I'm vaxed and double-boosted and wear a mask on the bus every day, but I still have found that Covid has turned some people into unthinking fascists. It's annoying when encountered in a bar like Leo, but tragic when these people run amok in hospitals and cause emotional damage like you describe.

The 21st century really sucks so far.....

...in related news, Kendall Pelling -- the guy who brought us ELDI and oversaw the gentrification of East Liberty -- is going to be HQ'd in the Wilkinsburg Train Station. That's right, we paid a total of $6.5 million, a lot of that tax dollars, so Kendall Pelling can have a fancy office space. The WCDC promised this ridiculously expensive vanity project would benefit Wilkinsburg. Instead it's benefiting Kendall Pelling and his developer friends.
