COVID wins again.
Shocking that didn’t help.
My mom is visiting, she's vaxxed but has a close friend who's not and my mom definitely gets her fair share of the fox news. She doesn't seem to buy into climate change. "Fires have been happening for years!" When I asked what ever happened to not trusting science her reply was "well now they just use a bunch of algorithms, and its garbage in garbage out"
Fairly difficult to counter that
Dumbass conservatives bitched about teachers unions keeping schools closed but also bitch about schools trying to put rules in place so they can be open.
New high score for Angus, but with bonus points for 50% less susceptible people, quite the achievement.
Though deaths are rising in Florida, the average of 122 deaths per day is still short of the over 200 reported over the winter, and is far eclipsed by the almost 1,000 daily deaths recorded in New York in Spring 2020.
Officials say the influx is almost entirely made up of unvaccinated people.
Not entirely sure why this is the case though
I can think of some reasons that would mitigate he deaths (some hospitalized are vaccinated, better treatments, etc.) but not to have the death rate be 10x less than NY. Or is it just "give it 2 weeks"
although my first mitigating factor isn't likely it
What’s really happening
According to the writer of the Aug. 4 letter “COVID blame,” the real people responsible for the COVID delta variant surge are unregistered voters.
According to the writer of the Aug. 7 letter “A different take,” it’s the fault of the Biden administration.
According to columnist Cal Thomas (“Rose is a rose; let’s call it what it is — an invasion,” Aug. 5), it’s illegal immigrants.
In the meantime, every day on TV and in the paper we encounter actual Republican officials, like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and North Carolina’s own Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, who are rejecting safety measures and insisting on exposing their populace to the virus. We watch Republican Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz run around the country telling their followers not to be vaccinated. We also read about countless Republicans who reject the vaccines and tell us why.
It’s not hard to see what’s really happening and it’s not hard to see who’s lying about it.
Republicans want all the freedom and none of the responsibility that comes with it. They’re lying themselves into the grave.

Protecting our children
Protecting our children from the delta variant of COVID-19 is considered “optional” at several Piedmont school systems.
Thankfully, Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools will demonstrate concern for the health of children, community, teachers and staff with a mask mandate and, one hopes, a vaccine mandate for eligible students and employees.
Here’s a time-saving suggestion for anyone who had planned to protest the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County school board’s infringement on your freedom: Petition to enroll your child in the Davidson, Stokes, Yadkin or other county schools. Your conviction that masking is harmful or unnecessary is obviously so strong that you are willing to bet the health of your child on that proposition.
True, you’ll have a bit of a drive to protect your freedoms, since those government-sponsored buses don’t run everywhere. (Careful of those stop signs — others may think they are optional. And be ready with your religious objections when the trooper pulls you over for not wearing a seatbelt.)
But the time you save by not protesting to our schools can be spent planning for remote schooling when, within weeks, the “optional” schools close because of outbreaks decimating staff or threatening the lives of your children.
Be prepared, though. Should your loved ones end up at a tragically crowded hospital, you will be required to wear a mask, if you’re allowed to visit.
