Light at the end of the Covid tunnel
Forums:
Last two months have been rough but check out the trend!
Rates of new infections and hospitalizations are falling precipitously too and with more and more people being vaccinated each day, don't see this trend stopping.

NOT stubbornness, or selfishness, or arrogance, or carelessness, or defiance, or flat-out stupidity, or useless fucking politicians, or...
And an endless "Thank You, health care professionals!!!!!!!"

But what about my constitutional rights to not wear a mask ?!?! After half-a-million deaths, some clowns still think it's a hoax.
If we'd had Biden's leadership previously, the death count would be lower. Sure the vaccine production timetable wouldn't have changed much, but earlier planning and distribution would've saved lives.
Big shout out to our health care professionals and all those helping with the effort. I get my second tomorrow. There's a light at the end of the tunnel, and I don't think it's a train.

i can go to any local store on any given day and it's, at best, 50/50 mask wearers....many non-mask wearers are older folks, too, who would definitely be in the high risk category
but I live in OK and this pandemic has been a full education in attitudes, beliefs (personal, political) and abandonment of facts, but more disturbingly, good common sense.
glad the shots are getting out. It'll be a while for my shots, but my folks are due for their second shots soon. I'm very thankful for that.

January's New Yorker has a Long article about covid. Well written. Disappointing that Mike Caputo took $300 million bucks from CDC's budget to reinforce Trump's message that the virus wasn't so dangerous.
Crazy people out there.

I gave 86 2nd dose vaccines
I gave 86 2nd dose vaccines today, filling in with some county volunteer work. The relief feeling people have when I hand them their card is palpable

Big anti mask scamdemic blah blah blah neighbor of mine.
Would see him every night but not for a month.
Saw his wife today....Phil has been in the hospital for 22 days and on a ventilator for 14.
It's still out there folks, It ain't the flu
Been 4.5 months for me and I still have low endurance for anything. Nothing for me to work 12-16 hours of hard hard labor. 45 minuets and I'm shot, last week it was 40.
Getting better

There's one guy at the gym
There's one guy at the gym who breaks the rules and doesn't wear a mask. He's a big, nasty dude and everyone is afraid to say anything to him. The guy served time for killing a someone in a bar fight (years ago, but still). I stayed as far from him as possible in non-Covid times.

But that video WAS back in August of last year. Maybe he or a relative caught something since and woke him up. Like Tim's neighbor.

It's certainly possible, but I can just as easily see him marching back into that Sprouts and doing the same thing in April because he "already got his vaccine"
I think our collective mentality is STILL a lot closer in time to the witch trials of Salem vs. the idealistic future of Star Trek.
While I'm cautiously optimistic about seeing the light at the end of the covid tunnel, I'm leaning more towards "we're not out of the woods until we're out of the woods"

Pfizer is already working on
Pfizer is already working on a booster Covid that will offer protection against some of the newer mutant strains, including the South African strain. Covid ain't going nowhere, keep your masks on for now and help slow the spread.
