We're All Going to Die

Unfortunately, with variants, COVID is moving the goal line all on it's own.
We just endured a 3 month lockdown here for Omacron which is a mild cold at best (if you are vaxed). I would want to see a black death type varient before I would support any more lockdowns. Calling it pretty Greek letters doesn't do it for me anymore.
 
Unfortunately, the unvaxxed have fucked everything up. Basically, the entire past 12 months could have been much different (better), if it wasn't for them. And then the rest of us wouldn't be so worn out.
 
Is it not time to say 'let them die'?
Within our circles, we've been saying this for a while. After all, much of the unvaxxed are the same ones who opposed coverage for all under the ACA.

But one of the things about health care workers is they have a code of ethics, which does not allow for letting people die.
 
Based on the latest recommendations, I'm going to hold off for booster #2 until things either ramp up again or fall comes around.
 
4th boosters are only available for select people up here now. I don't qualify. Probably won't til a lot later unless there is another wave.
 
Which reminds me, booster time for this guy.
Got the booster at 650pm last night. Felt a little off this morning. Felt more off at 10am (achy). Felt even more off at 1230 (brain fog, achier), Feel even more off now at 3pm (walking slowly, sensitive skin, cold hands, not doing anything that takes much brain, achiest). Driving home in a half hour, then hitting the sack for 10+ hours.

Seems to be the standard routine.

I now qualify based on my age. But not the 5 months after previous booster. Next month. The cases have gone through the roof here (based upon sewer water testing). But nobody seems to care anymore (with good reason). Will decide in a month if I will get one. My wife has already decided against it. It does seem like an effective vaccine.

Fauci said the United States is "out of the pandemic phase." Are we really? NBC News reported yesterday, "There are still more than 40,000 new cases daily and the number of cases is back on the rise. While the number of deaths and hospitalizations has declined significantly since vaccines became available, nearly 400 people are still dying from Covid every day." Take that, Dr. Fauci!

 
Won't it be interesting to explain 2020/21 to our grandkids? It will be like a weird, foreign story to them how the country more or less shut down for the better part of a year. At first we all came together (like the 1 time congress was actually useful) but then after it dragged on for months and months we all fought over the appropriate way to deal with it.

Like the 1918 Spanish Flu, it seems just like a story to us today...Like oh, that must have sucked.

You'll have to remind me of what day that was. My memory was that, while many people were warning of the serious nature of it, the other side was mocking those people, and saying it was nothing and/or fabricated and/or would disappear "just like that".
