We're All Going to Die

That's a complete a-hole thing to say. I'd invite him to see for himself at any of the places I'm familiar with, but they're turning people away due to overcapacity.
 
Too bad hope they will overcome only because they're Americans. I see more and more commentators claim, of course, the natural immunity and antibodies because they got the 19. You get through it so that means everyone will have the same experience.
 
Of course I hope that they are OK. They aren't bad people, just a little stupid.

I know other nurses that have some horror stories about their hospitals and the COVID patients.

Seventy-five percent of the people who have died of COVID in the United States were 65 or older. Yikes!

COVID has killed 1 of every 100 older Americans as U.S. nears grim milestone

The United States stands on the cusp of surpassing 800,000 deaths from the virus, and no group has suffered more than older Americans. The scale of loss is only now coming into full view.

To me, that's the least surprising statistic. You probably get a similar distribution with influenza, pneumonia, heart disease, cancer, or stroke. the only case where it's different, is attendees of Travis Scott concerts.
 
Restrictions are pouring in here.
  • All travelers will be tested coming into Canada and need to quarantine til the test result is back. This does not exempt fully-vacinated people anymore.
  • concert venues and sporting event venues are now at 50% capacity with no food or beverage service (the excuse to take off your mask). My Marlies game looks ok (got e-mail) but my Leafs game in March would be in jeopardy. The Leafs are cancelling single game tickets and giving season ticket holders every other game (until mid January so far). Also unclear on the concert tickets I have at this point.
  • Indoor gatherings now restricted to 10 people. Outdoor to 25.
  • Restaurants have table limits (10 people per table) and must close indoor dining by 11PM.
  • All future restriction loosening has been suspended.
  • Travel advisory. But voluntary and just an advisory so I will ignore. I am going to Antigua.
Getting our booster shots tomorrow. My son will be able to as of Monday. Put him on a waiting list.
 
If people had common sense, we wouldn't have had hundreds of rioters... er tourists beating police and smashing windows at our White House. The country's gone to hell in a handbasket I tell ya!
 
Are your teeth turning blue?
