Covid everywhere and death you say? I wonder if this is Omicron?
@Roger A. Shrubber says it's time to get off our lazy asses.
used to be a time when 1300 dead every day was pearl clutch/smelling salts. and now..?
sweetie, you can't make the American people do fuck all...the boat we're in right now proves it. three separate safe, stable vaccines have been developed for use in the country, and supplied for free. we still have over 30% of the country unvaccinated, because they're fucking stupid. you cannot expect intelligent responses from stupid people. so what do you want to do? shut down the country again? that does little good if the rest of the world doesn't comply as well, and they won't. Governors of republican states refuse to enforce mandates from the administration they hate, trump's loaded supreme court will do nothing to help, and people just don't give a fuck anymore, even though many of them watched at least one person they knew die to covid...
as far as i can see, we better all cross our fingers and hope for endemic herd immunity soon, otherwise things are going to get a lot uglier than we've ever seen them, as more virulent and potent variants pop up.
in the mean time, i'm getting paid and saving as much as i can, in case shit does go south again, and i suggest everyone able to, to do the same.
