New Recoveries exceed New Cases.

We like THAT!

Thanks to all who are taking disease-fighting seriously.

(shame on those who are relying others to do it for them, and thus making the problem worse.)

Thousands of Americans who recently died of Corona have reduced the number of people in Serious or Critical condition.

Keep your distance. Protect others.

Hello Politalker

 

[PoliTalker]

Don't share air.

When you share air with others, that's when the disease can be transmitted.

So avoid sharing air.

Hello Politalker,
Have you tried holding your breath for extended amounts of time?

Look at the numbers today.

Almost 19,000 people in Serious or Critical Condition.

Hello.

The numbers don't lie.

Nothing is being exaggerated or overblown.

This is a real pandemic and it is killing people.

We must take the precautions very seriously.

Be a leader in your circle of friends. Be the first one to start taking it seriously. Others will follow.

Somebody has to take a stand for humanity.

Act now. Turn this around. Stop the dying. Save a life.

I would not be too worried, the vast majority of those dying now are ignorant right-wingers afraid of the vaccine. The more of those assholes dying the better.

I wonder if all those unprotected rallies had anything to do with this recent spike.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

You mean Trump rallies? We can hope so.

We've kept quite a lot of rules on. Johnson has been no help whatever. One thing we've done that makes more sense than what's happened in the rest of the UK is abolish public exams for the year, so teacher assessment can take account of local conditions. People are weird, though: one Englishwoman got fined for driving a few hundred miles to come over the border to feed a horse, which was very adequately fed anyway. I didn't know 'fortnight' wasn't common to both countries. I'll have to try some extension of 'se'night' or something else archaic: the countries have been long apart!

Johnson seems ok to me but how come he doesn't ever seem to brush his hair?

Let's see how Biden does with it.

How the fuck can he have anything to do with it when he has so many ignorant right-wingers refusing to get the vaccine? Well over 90% of democrats and independents are vaccinated yet republicans is only about 60%. It is not Bidens fault that the US now has the highest death rate and climbing. Most other countries don't have half their population ignorant assholes.

It would be interesting to see how many who contracted the virus were practicing the guidelines. One in five grocery store employees contracted the virus. Most were asymptomatic. They wear masks all the time. They deserve hazard pay.

About 2500 dead every day from the virus and 95+% of them are unvaccinated. The only ones vaccinated and dying are those with other medical conditions or very old. As long as that is the case and the vast majority of those dying are unvaccinated and the vast majority of them are right-wingers, let em die. Less chance we will ever have another asshole like Trump in Washington.

Hello Controlled Opposition,



They wear cloth masks, which is really ineffective. Paper masks are 9 times more effective than cloth. N95 is twice as effective as paper.

But the biggest problem is they don't keep their distance from others.

I only go to the grocery store when it is not crowded. People just get too close. And even when there are few people there, they get too close. That's just foolish. I've taken to keeping a 360 degree lookout and taking proactive action to maintain distance.

Grocery store workers are there all day including peak times. It is impossible to distance then. Crowds have no patience, no consideration for it. Store workers have undoubtedly had to accept that, and then developed habits which they do not alter during non-peak times.

Vast improvements could be made. Stores need to limit the number of shoppers. People violating distancing need to be called out. There is no enforcement of the guidelines. They need to become law. Police should ticket violators. It would be far better if people did the right thing voluntarily, but that is not happening. Because of this, the virus rages on.

Ultimately I don't expect to see the drastic measures I just voiced, I don't expect to see anti-maskers act any better, and I don't expect to see us kick this thing in the butt. What we will have will be something in between what we see now and total elimination for the USA.

And that's too bad. People are dying. We could stop it with a concerted effort.

Just enforce a vaccine mandate.
