2/ "Characterized by swelling of the brain, post-shingles encephalitis can leave patients with lasting memory or language problems, sleep disorders, bouts of confusion, mood disorders, headaches and difficulties walking. Older patients tend to have the most trouble recovering. And even before this latest illness, Ms. Feinstein had already suffered substantial memory issues that had raised questions about her mental capacity."

@GottaLaff oh no. This is so terrible. For her and the country. Is there no one who can help her realize that it’s time to resign?

@annietime That's all covered in the thread & article. Apparently not.

@GottaLaff yes I was just picking up more of the thread. Thank you for posting this. It’s an impossible situation, I’m afraid. She cognitively stuck in her perceived role unable to admit she can’t function in it. Awful. I once supervised a wonderful woman who worked as a circulation desk clerk in a public library well into her 80s. When I questioned her about the many errors in the library card applications she was responsible for, she looked at me and said (as if I should already know this), “That would be because I can’t see.” For the sake of the country there needs to be a way to remove her. 💔 Long term, Congress needs term limits pronto.
