So my friend who just got over a breakthrough Delta case said the health department shared their expectation that 90% of vaccinated people will get a variant in the next year. Oh joy.

Sounds like that's pretty much a given at this point. Hopefully vaccination will turn it into a non-event for most.

Shit. phone rang just now. It was my co workers number so I picked it up. It was the Falck Ambulance Crew. I'm his ICE contact. He was feeling really weak so he called 911. Fire showed up handed him off to Paramedics. He is on his way to the Hospital. Damn. He is one of the nicest guys too. We have this feeling that we may end up as a 4 dog family ( I took in his dog rather than have it put in a kennel)

The thing is that Fox news has never said that's not true about the number of dead.

If you think about it, if intelligence is even just slightly tied/embedded in our DNA, then screw it, thin this fvckin herd. Natural selection, let the weak and idiots die, survival of the fittest.

(Dunno if some of yall can relate :D)

Increasingly finding myself curious how the general-public will choose to fully-digest and then adhere to this main COVID19 variant and then the coming Winter Season having a vax' initiative. Because, the general-public right now is having its own Delta moment, leave out all that red, stringy stuff inside's Delta.

Speaking of Red n' Stringy - what's a forecast for a swell in hardline partisan ruminations (Read: Flor-i-duh) toward the health and well-being of citizens, families here in the US, should worse-case type situations evolve or, devolve? Just how motivated are some, not all, businesses toward actually maintaining full compliance to CDC Recommended Guidelines and Procedures??

Brick and Mortar, Family run business least likely - it's those that hedge upon extending their corner of a Town District, push for zoning, employ lobbyists here and abroad which may concern most. Stimulus has already been syphoned off Federal General Funds, and misappropriated. To what extent are some of the truly sketchy heads of Business willing to exceed norms and values now that a significant portion of their Annual Costs had been offset, Tax Free and under watch of internal actuary or actuaries?

New Construction, Preferred Zoning, Tax Abatements arbitration - all done under strain and to accommodate Political favorship in cases.

Communism.

Until the vaccine-induced body count becomes an appreciable percentage of the Covid related death count, you are still better off getting it, regardless of any potential short or long term side effects.

But hey, I know this is an emotional argument, not a logical one.

If you think about it, if intelligence is even just slightly tied/embedded in our DNA, then screw it, thin this fvckin herd. Natural selection, let the weak and idiots die, survival of the fittest.

Survival of the Fittest, along with Recurring Nightmare, is some of my favorite MTG art.

“Like it or not we are becoming a Communist country..." Drumpf, Arizona Stump Tour 07/24/2021

Drumpf, this glorified mental patient, appears quite comfortable allowing notions of it to permeate and fester into his own vision of a future... a poster-boy for the movement w/ a chip on his shoulder.

Have Ruth tell her that when she get sick, that she needs to elect to not go to the hospital. If COVID19 doesn't kill people, she should just stay home and see what happens - she needs to leave the hospitals for those that truly understand how dangerous it is and have tried to stay safe by wearing masks and getting vaccinated.
