I applaud "President Day Late and A Dollar Short" for finally staring the process of getting more tests out there for people to use in their homes. This should have happened months ago but he was too busy being stuck in one place--pushing for vaccination. While there is nothing wrong with that, it is a one prong approach to the problem which neglects other important areas of the process of fighting Covid. testing after exposure and then isolating as needed will help the entire population to the extent it is done effectively--not just one group or the other.

This variant is causing lots of cases in the vaxxed. The unvaxxed continue to have the majority of the severe illness and death. Yes, vaxxed people die but at lower rates. Not sure where those rates will go as the variant spreads.

I am vaxxed and boosted. I encourage people to take the shots while I acknowledge their concerns. There are risks with any approach, that just seems the much less risky approach.

I do wonder why states, which have had vaccine laws upheld in courts, aren't passing laws to add the Covid vaccines to the ones required. Those laws would be tested in courts but it seems they would have a better chance of surviving the challenges than mandates from afar.

New website favorite
r/hermancainaward
Its a reddit site of about half million members and its a hoot
Discussing people dying due to misinformation

For those not familiar with reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAwards/

Reddit's quite a rabbithole. A few of the posts give hope and ideas on how to deal with and debunk cults. So to that extent it has more of a purpose than gloating at death.

Oh, you want everyone to get a prize regardless. Sorry, no gold stars for participation. Especially, when they've been given every chance.

If you don't like it, you go their funerals and pay respects. No one is stopping you.

Hmmm getting enjoyment from people dying is a main trait of psychopaths.

Hopefully more dumb Trumpers then Dems


Maybe that’s why Donny seems to be more forceful lately in promoting vaccines? His voters are dying off too quickly before 2024.

Yeah, but Conservatives crying about Covid numbers would be like Conservatives going into a big city, wantonly gunning people down, then complaining about the homicide rate in big cities going up.

My take on it is this: People have the right to get vaccinated, or not get vaccinated---and that's totally up to them. However, if you're on the non-vaccinated side, then you immediately disqualify whatever point that you are making by citing death statistics.

Wonder if fleaswatter will comment on Florida’s skyrocketing case numbers.
The righties love to praise FatSantis whenever FL’s numbers go down and then get real quiet for the other 11 months of the year. 😂

Why would anyone comment on cases with Omicron. Deaths are all that matter.
7 Day Average Daily Death Rate in FL is down to 5 per day. Cases up, deaths down, herd immunity happening.
Your Michigan Bitch has deaths skyrocketing in her state to levels not seen since last winter/pre-vaccine.
105 deaths per day in Michigan with a population that is one half of Florida & younger.
Keep feeding your fetish & posting about DeSantis physique while he crushes Covid & keeps his state's economy humming.
He'll be Governor and/or President long after Whitmer loses in 2022.
