Nope, but just looking at the data, if schools reopen, cases among kids, half of whom over 5 aren't vaccinated will increase. If people aren't vaxxed then they are not too concerned about kids, the elderly or vulnerable, just fear for themselves and the bullshit feed to them. They are running in panic and fear over nothing, while throwing the vulnerable under the bus and hurting their communities and the economy. It is no longer a difference of an opinion, it is an antisocial self centered fear driven reaction, unworthy of any thinking adult.

ok, i found your post that actually has a name in it....
well, my original statement stands, they want people to get back into the labor pool, they have no intention of extending social assistance to healthy people who can work, and just don't want to. jayapal dropped it because she realized it was a bad idea to keep people on "welfare" when they don't need it, and are just being lazy.
there's no reason to "address this"...it's a dead issue, they're just not going to reinstate unemployment benefits to people who have no medical reason not to go back to work, this was never intended to be a permanent change, and it went on far too long already in my opinion.

Covid everywhere. My lady is off work for at least a week because 2/3rds of the employees have covid so they closed down. One old guy that works there is a covid denier claiming it's a hoax but he's been taking ivermectin. Makes no sense and apparently he's now in the hospital with covid.
My lady's sister, husband and one of her sons all have covid. The sister and son were both vaccinated and just have mild symptoms. The husband didn't get his first shot until recently and is now in the hospital with a tube down his throat. When he was taken to the emergency room the sister said it was packed like a zoo with people sitting on the floor.
A good friend, his wife, and son all tested positive and have mild symptoms. They were all vaccinated as soon as they could get the shot.
My vaccinated niece that lives in Brooklyn had mild symptoms and tested positive. She's going to be OK. My sister's husband is going to get tested today as he's sick. I was talking on the phone with another friend yesterday and he knows a dozen or so people all sick with a couple of them in the hospital and will likely not survive due to age and poor health.
The neighbors next door are all sick. We were at the grocery store yesterday and there are people not wearing masks in public.
It seems that those that have been vaccinated are avoiding any serious sickness while those that were not are developing severe cases.
I'll be ready and willing to get a second booster shot if and when they become available.

That seems to be the story everywhere, the vaxxed are largely spared the worst and if anything, get a boost in immunity, though I'd prefer my boost from a needle! I wonder how many of the 1500 American who are dying daily are vaxxed and what were the comorbidities in the break through cases. I'd say, between 1000 and 1300 of them were unvaxxed as a guess.

I did not love my table top party grill. For whatever reason, on that flight I was missing grilling and decided this was a good way to rectify that. All I got was blue balls and blue meat.Yippie I oh !!!
Keep it up
I LOVE IT
The thing heated to an insanely high temp across about a half inch strip where the coil was, the rest of the surface would be cold to the touch. You could warm 2 hotdogs up if you were really patient and careful.

I'm sorry to hear that.
The US had almost 700,000 new cases yesterday. Vaccines protect against the worst of it so not a complete faceplant but we can definitely say we failed.
This is what ignorance looks like.

It doesn't help that people are so short sighted that all many could think about was traveling over the holidays. They just have to visit in person. Bunch of idiots spreading covid. I saw and talked to a bunch of my family that's spread across the country. With today's technology it's easy to video conference. I just don't understand the need to get on a plane to go visit for a couple of days.
This crap isn't going away until people act responsibly and stop pretending it's business as usual because it isn't. I understand that people need to travel but just to visit is stupid. Pick up the phone, do a zoom call, a skype call, etc... Stay home if you don't have to travel for work.

Fauci takes Rand Paul to school and spanks him in public, but Paul has no shame or brains.

Fauci: There Are Threats Against My Life 'Because People Are Lying About Me'
Dr. Anthony Fauci responded to accusations made by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and told members of the Senate that he and his family have received threats "because people are lying about me." He also accused the senator of fundraising off of "completely untrue" assumptions against him.

Man, I hear you on this but think we might be past the point of no return with blunting the spread of COVID. This take is from me looking at how people are acting all around me, not me trying to argue with you.
The last 2-3 weeks really seem like pandemic-fatigue has settled in and people across the US are throwing up their hands in surrender. The travel isn’t even a right vs left thing now.
We know several left-leaning families that flew down to Florida over Christmas to go on vacation. Same families were pretty much on lockdown for a months at a time during previous surges.
The infection numbers here in Michigan are off the charts, but I only see about 1/2 masking in public places now. It was definitely higher than that in previous waves.

This is why I’m back to practicing full isolation like we started almost 22 months ago.
I understand about fatigue, but bottom line, as adults we got to just suck it up and be a little tougher.

It will be business as usual with a few adjustments by summer when this wave passes, there will be a different approach when it is declared endemic. They just need to clear the unvaxxed out of the hospitals and that won't be long at the rate this is moving through society. This is not a good time to be in the hospital for any reason, in a few months things should improve with more slack and more drugs, along with at home tests for early detection to make the drugs more effective. This summer if you get covid and are vulnerable they will probably give you a course of treatment you can take at home, some antiviral pills, but it has to be caught early and you probably need to have risk factors like age or a chronic condition.

Some people who are vaxxed and boosted don't feel the fear and I'm sure many want to expose themselves while recently boosted. They also increasingly don't give a shit about the unvaxxed idiots, but care about the vulnerable and young kids. Most people have had a choice to protect themselves and their children for some time now, so sympathy for the unvaxxed is waning, they had a choice, except for kids. People are tired of it all too and that is the biggest issue for many, along with their kids missing school. We have to crawl out sometime and the experts are coming around to the idea that this spring and summer might as well be it, after omicron has passed. It will probably be a seasonal thing like flu and there will be improved vaccines and boosters every fall and winter.
