Thank you Kim.

I will pass this information on to several folks I think will be interested.

Travel/Stay safe

Kim, thanks! How are you two doing?

The Archdiocese of Turin said April 9 the livestream could be viewed directly on the official website for the shroud -- www.sindone.org -- as well as on the official Facebook page of the archdiocese and the Facebook page of its youth ministry office, and the youth ministry office's YouTube channel.

Thanks for sharing this! I will definitely try to watch. I visited the Shroud museum in Torino a few years ago and found it so interesting!

Thanks for finding and posting the English-language reference, Joe!

Jane, we are fine, thanks for asking. My husband and I are finally over our Covid cases. I had the lightest case known to man, and he had a mild case all things considered, but still it wasn’t fun — he had fever for 9-10 days, and severe muscle aches, headaches and dizziness that continues for another 5-6 days even after the fever was done. But most importantly thank God he never had any respiratory difficulty or distress.

Yesterday I finally reached my 20 days after I had my first symptoms, which is the time frame our doctor gave me after which I would no longer be contagious. So now I can go out and enjoy that hour’s walk within 1 km of my apartment!

So we are doing lots better, although still worried about our parents. Marco’s folks of course in Piedmont and I don’t know if you noticed, but the 2nd OK death due to Covid-19 was in Cleveland. Considering we have about 1/10th of 1% of the population of a state that has about 1% of the U.S. population, I found that pretty incredible.

Y’all stay safe in Creek County!!

Thanks for the update, Kim. I'm glad you and Marco are doing so much better. And yes, I thought about your family when I saw that one of the deaths was in Cleveland.

Creek County is still being its pig-headed independent self, but so far only 2 deaths here. 80 in Oklahoma now.

So get out for your walk, already! Sending a virtual hug your way; you'll get a real one next time you're back in God's Country.

@kim in Paris -

I did not look at your thread. Jane emailed and told me y’all have had COVID. Sorry you all have gone thru it and recovering. In Broken Arrow and home. I am able to work for 3 days. We only have 3-4 of coming in and taking our precautions. Store is closed but making customer’s mental health in check. When I go to get groceries, I go with gloves and mask. Social distancing, etc. hubs and I take our temps regularly. We feel fine.

Stay safe and be well

"Paris Kim" - I am so sorry you and your husband got this dang virus but so very glad you are both on the mend.

Thanks Jane, Kim, and Pam.

May you have a blessed Easter weekend.

Oh, wow, Kim! I am glad you two are recovering!

I grew up in southern OK and 2nd case in my home city is at a nursing home - not the assisted living where my mom is quarantined but still. She wanted to stay put and is happy, but I worry. So I know you must be REALLY worried about your in-laws!

This thread has meandered from the Shroud, but I'll jump on. My mother's family was from Antlers, OK, and Paris, TX, was their go-to place for things like hospital, shopping, and so forth (46 miles away, population probably 15,000 in those days). In later years, one cousin received a postcard from her best childhood friend from Paris, France: "This is a lot like Paris, TX, only bigger." Best to all you fellow okies. I have lots of family still there.
