Well…after going out to the grocery store wed and being almost the only person in a mask, I can’t believe that people are still not protecting themselves….and the uptake rate of the latest vaccine booster is in the 25% range even in my age group and I can’t figure that out since the latest stats show that over 90% of the 500 deaths a day that are still occurring are people over 65…in an article I read today the hospitalization rate for children is the highest it’s ever been and the entire country is in the red of the highest cases there have ever been…so, what’s the deal? Are people just tired of the pandemic and think that if they ignore it the virus will go away? Whatever it is, I am not going to let my guard down with the possibility of long covid hanging over my head…so it looks like another year of isolation here as I do my best to not get this damn disease….and I will be wearing a mask whenever I go out and I will continue to get boosted whenever new vaccines come out…covid is not over…and I will not delude myself that it is…maybe I shouldn’t complain…after all, the virus is killing more repubs than dems and if it keeps up thye may never win another election…sick, I know…

A republican disease…
Well…just read a really interesting article that proposes that since repubs are not going to take the covid vaccine, the disease is going to turn into an ideological one…with those on the left being immune and the repubs on the right continuing to be in danger of dying even though herd immunity could be reached for the rest of us. This is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard…with fox news and the rest of the right wing propaganda outlets still pushing their idiot followers to reject the vaccine for whatever reasons they choose for the day, these folks are setting themselves up to continue to get sick and die for as long as the virus is still circulating…which will probably be forever if it is anything like the flu. But, most of them don’t believe the virus is a problem so I say let them…if you are still so stupid after seeing almost a million Americans die from covid that you can’t do the simple thing like get vaccinated, I have no craps to give for them anymore…and it will be better for the gene pool to eliminate these morons…
Some good virus news…
Well…yeah, I’m writing a lot today but I’m getting other stuff done too…got the first two totes packed in the kitchen after I ran errands…even got some salt to put on the ice outside the door so keep my old butt from falling…but, that’s not what this one is about…just read an article from an epidemiologist that had a bit of good news on the virus in it…in his calculations using the amount of Americans infected, along with the pace of vaccinations, he estimated that we could reach herd immunity with 75% of the US population with some amount of immunity to the virus by the 4th of July….and that is with the current rate of vaccinations at the already doable 2 million per day…and that rate should go up as competent people take charge of the vaccination efforts. So, this could be the biggest damn 4th of July celebration in the history of the country if we achieve it…but there is still a long way to go…so, keep wearing your masks and social distancing…we can do that for 4 more months if the reward is a maskless summer and getting to see our family and friends again….
I was going to say “Karma is a bitch”…
Well…with the news that the idiot trump and his wife tested positive for covid yesterday, the first thing that came to my mind was the phrase “Karma is a bitch” but then remembered that even how horrible they are as people, and how responsible he is for the deaths of 220,000 Americans,I wouldn’t wish this disease on anyone…it would be like cheering if idiot boy announced he had cancer…and even though I hate this asshole with the fire of a thousand suns, doing that would undo the years and years of me trying to be a better person once I realized in my 30′s that I could be an asshole at times….so, I won’t get on that train today…I just won’t say anything more about it other than maybe to talk about the political ramifications later today….
