Let me know when they start marching into cities and putting heads on stakes. Until then, I’m not gonna worry too much.

Delta spreads like chickenpox.....great.

CDC document warns Delta variant appears to spread as easily as chickenpox and cause more severe infection

We're back under a mask mandate here in New Orleans. I imagine some additional directives are probably on their way, especially with schools opening back up in the next week or so.

herd immunity would've been pretty cool by now, huh?

There’s been a big weekly Sunday street party here this summer. At least four people have tested from last week and I just saw that today’s had been canceled and they’re reassessing continuing.

Florida breaks record for COVID-19 hospitalizations

I'm in a text chain with my Trump loving uncle. He likes to copy me on shit him and his Trumper buddies talk about because he thinks it gets under my skin. Anyway, they've been bragging about not getting the vaccine because not enough is known about it (according to them). One of his friends legit just said this in an email; "my wife and I decided not to get the vaccine. We may die from covid but we sure won't die from the vaccine!"

This sounds pretty much like what my mum said to me the other week

ey they are choosing how to die!

FREEDOM

When I last spoke with my mum about the vaccine - she said that she wasn't getting it cause they don't know what long term effects it might have, but then when I mentioned about it still being better than dying of Covid she said 'Well I've got to go of something - it's all in the Lords hands'.

Trump was wise to recognize there are so many of these people in this country, run on that, and win in 2016. Gotta give the guy credit.

I don’t know if he’s smart enough to have come up with that strategy. Although, I do agree that was the strategy used. Of course, him being racist along with them didn’t hurt, either

Israeli data suggests a rapid decline in vaccine effectiveness 6 months after dosing, meaning the elderly and those with comorbidities will be back at January risk levels before Labor Day:

Jump to :20 seconds to see Darryl being a "strong" conservative.

I was strongly against getting the vaccine because we're a strong conservative family"

Slow start for Canada, but the data suggests you all are the most vaccinated country now.

It's still not enough to stop the 4th wave.

I bet the dems didn’t see “exploit poor racists” as a tactic that would lead a repub to victory
