He said it's not contagious but I just don't feel comfortable shake his hand. The problem is that I shake hands with everyone else so he would know for sure something's wrong if I stopped shaking his hand. Edit: I'm a girl.(don't know if that makes a difference)
They should be stunt doubles in like star wars or something
So, here's another whatsapp post I'm seeing more and more on my groups. There are parts of this that are true and parts that aren't. Of course since this is an emerging concern, my research might not be up-to-date if this is read in a few days.
There seems to be a Black Fungus that targets those who have "uncontrolled Diabetes" during COVID. This could be people who have undiagnosed diabetes, or blood sugar levels not being maintained during the treatment of COVID. Calls for doctors to maintain diabetics sugar within proper range, and appropriate doses of steroids.

WHO IS KILLING HUNDREDS OF THOSE WHO HAVE JUST DEFEATED COVID. IT'S BLACK FUNGUS
Dear all,
This is to bring to your information a dangerous disease which is killing people by the hundreds AFTER they have recovered from the dreaded Covid-19 infection.
The disease is Mucormycosis and can be fatal. It catches on to those who have been on oxygen support for five days or more. So, the oxygen which gives you life, actually becomes your death sentence. It's that dangerous.
Mucormycosis, simply known as Black Fungus, develops in the nasal tract due to poor quality of water used, through which the piped oxygen in hospitals passes to make it hydrated oxygen, before it reaches the patient's nostrils. It's very much like the fungus which develops on bread due to moisture, if kept for a long time.
It starts from the nostril, travels towards the eye and then towards the brain. It paralyses the nerves it travels through. So, first it’s the eye that loses vision very swiftly AND permanently! If not stopped, it enters the brain and then it's a matter of a day or two before the person paralyses, has multiple organ failure or sudden heart attack and dies
For any body on oxygen support in a hospital, it's crucial to keep looking around the nostrils for any black pigmentation. As soon as it's noticed even as the smallest dot, sirens should ring, and anti-fungal vacci

Mum always loved to wear sarongs (fabric wraps that go around the torso and drape downward a bit like a long skirt would), so my uncle suggested that she wear a sarong in there.
The funeral director looked a bit confused, as did some of our family members, to which my uncle added:
"What's sarong with that?"
I started laughing like an idiot. He was proud of it too. The funeral director was rather shocked. We assured her, and our more proper relatives, that Mum would've absolutely loved the joke (which is very true).
His delivery was perfect. I'll never forget the risk he took. We sometimes recall the moment as a way help cushion the blows of the grieving process.
--Edit-- I appreciate the condolences. I'm doing well and the worst is behind me and my family. But thanks :)
--Edit-- Massive thanks for all the awards and kind words. And the puns! Love 'em.
I would have a daughter
But Bill kept the Windows
True story; it even happened last night. My 5-year-old son walks up behind me and out of the blue says, "hey."
I turn to him and say, "yeah, kiddo? What's up?"
He responds, "it's dead grass."
I'm really confused and trying to figure out what's wrong and what he wants from me. "What? There's dead grass? What's wrong with that?"
.
.
.
He says, totally straight-faced, "hay is dead grass," and runs off.
And then you will all be sorry.
Now it’s syncing.
He replied, "Well, stop going to those places then!"
I will find you. You have my Word.
She said how do you know he was headed to work?
“thank you for your cervix.”
Made me smile
