I am not a fan of Democrats but yes at this point of time I have no reason to not believe that a vast majority of idiots not getting vaccinated are the republicans. I have nothing but disgust that Republicans have turned a political doctrine like Conservatism to something like mental illness. I have no idea how they get their crazy ideas and how they relate it with conservatism. I actually feel a sense of embarrassment, disgust, sadness and shame at times ........

Got my second Pfizer shot a few hours ago. No side effects so far - not even pain on my arm. I seem to have permanent weakness in my left forearm since I had my second AV dose. I'm blaming that anyway. Any idea on this, man? I mean I couldn't believe my eyes and searched many articles as I thought it was some fake news. Usually media creates panic based on rumours but the reporting here seems to be rather firm. I am still not able to believe this article. Is it some poor satire or something? www.nytimes.com/2021/07/25/world/asia/children-deaths-virus-indonesia.htmlOther sources mention something similar.

I think at this point of time entire world should rush to help Indonesia. They are absolutely reeling from the virus. People are dying of lack of oxygen. Send them as many oxygen concentrator as you can. Meanwhile, a shocking figure has come from Iran. They just added a record spike in the new cases today. 34,900 Just look at Iran's waves. You can clearly see 4 distinct peaks and the 5th peak has started to build. And record number of new cases today could look very bad in 15 days time. As much as some people think Corona is over. I think it is not for the poorer countries. Things could become a nightmare soon. India is doing relatively fine at the moment but 3rd wave can hit anytime. I just hope we all stay safe.

Per Newsweek - 'Florida and Texas are leading the nation in case numbers for the past week, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC].'Shocking

I had to take a quick trip to the USA (California) to see a customer. Three Covid tests in the space of six days – one to enter the USA, one to be allowed to return to Canada, and another one upon arrival.

I love this video Governor of New Jersey Phil Murphy giving a press conference yesterday calls Anti-Vaxxers 'the ultimate knuckleheads' who have lost their minds Sadly this video has 45 likes on Youtube and 340 dislikes. Just look at the comments, it's all the same ridiculous bullshit you'd come to expect from the anti-vax crowd. These are people who, mind you, vaccinated themselves and their children in order to go to school ( i.e., the "forced vaccinations" they're now purportedly railing against). They take vaccinations when they travel abroad to certain countries. The misinformation campaign is frighteningly strong and it's all being promulgated for political ends. Insanity. I'm not sure which camp I enjoy watching more - the "do your research" people, or the "I won't take that poison" folks. The "do your research" people are hilarious because they'll ignore every single doctor and scientist on earth, but they'll practically trip over themselves racing to regurgitate something they read on Daily Stormer. That is research to them. The "I won't take that poison" folks are also amusing because, well, let's face it, they're not exactly organic vegans. If you ask them what was in their chicken mcnuggets, they'd probably argue with you if you said it was more than just chicken and bread crumbs as the ingredients.

Ontario on track for another wave in Oct-Nov, although so many of us are vaccinated, there will not be a lockdown. Plan for step 1 again within weeks, yet life will go on... while others try to convince themselves vaccines are from computer chips living in electric car batteries from the CIA or KGB.

I said overall, because obviously, you can't have 100% cooperation unless it is forced, at which point it's more coercion.

While I have been enjoying going out at restaurants again for a while now, at work two residents on the same unit just tested positive.
No words among employees but ever since the vaccination began, the testing dropped significantly.
I must note that those residents were also able to leave the building to go outside, so the "how" or "through whom" they got infected is still an open question.
Also, the last anti-vax guy I was working with got placed on unpaid leave for not willing to even get tested. So he's out until he proves he's been vaccinated, or brings negative test results or his out for so long that they cut him out of the system.
That's how it is for now.

In the last two years only three infections in my personal environment, and all three showed no or very slight symptoms. A 4th one if I include a co-worker of my brother whom I never met in my live.
We were told as soon as the vaccine has arrived and everyone who wants to be vaccinated had the opportunity to be vaccinated, we will get our freedom back - a lie! A fucking lie. I got vaccinated, what I bitterly regret and caused my great harm. I was severely sick for twelve days, and even now I have not fully recovered.
In the time of the "pandemic" 4000 ICU units were cut down, while our health system should be on the brink of collapse because we have less than these 4000 Corona patients in ICUs...
Germany has roughly 2000 hospitals, and thus around 2 patient for each of it...why reducing capacities instead of increasing them, when the health system is the bottleneck, the frontline, the whatever...the reason why we don't get our freedom back, and our constitutional rights are denied.
Don't keep an entire people hostage or put the blame on the unvaccinated. It is all solely and utterly and exclusively the fault of the government. Merkel should be put on trial.
Everyone had the chance to get vaccinated, who didn't, shall suffer the consequence, the triage...
There is no need for tests or vaccination rates etc. pp. if we get finally the triage.
Again: get vaccinated, or suffer the consequence. And stop the lie about children etc. pp. who are not threatened by this virus.
In two year, 29 people of the age 0-19 died in Germany allegedly because of COVID, two third of them with severe precondition. By now five children died of the vaccine, there of them with severe precondition. Considering the rather short time span and the extremely low vaccination rate among children, the vaccine appears to be the greater danger, but both on an extremely low level. Around 30 deaths in two years among a group of 20 million - and the most of them with life threatening pre-conditions.

Landed in Miami today for the weekend. Going to hunt down Xeliou66.
Kidding. Maybe....
Woke up at 7:30am, had a shitty sandwich at about 10:00am, then didn’t eat until just now, about 9:30 pm. Not feeling especially great.

Anyone want to share how things are where you are? I'm having a booster tomorrow. Trying not to overreact - with suggestions that Omicron, while wildly infectious, typically results in milder symptoms - but all the cancellations in sports alone make you wonder about where we're headed in the next few days and weeks.

Trying not to overreact - with suggestions that Omicron, while wildly infectious, typically results in milder symptoms - but all the cancellations in sports alone make you wonder about where we're headed in the next few days and weeks. I had my booster a few weeks ago and it hit me like a ton of bricks. The first shot I was exhausted, basically slept for the remainder of the day after getting it; the second shot I felt no reaction whatsoever. But the booster, hot damm, it felt like I got hit by a car for about 24 hours. Here in NY, positive tests are on the rise which makes sense given the colder weather forcing people indoors and holidays putting people together en masse. It's not a shocker when you factor those things together, coupled with the still-insane-fucking-amount-of-idiots who think vaccines are part of a deep state conspiracy. Just over the past week, I've received many calls from people that I have been in contact with, both at work and at various holiday parties, indicating that they, or someone in their immediate family, have tested positive. At my gym holiday party last week, I received calls from 6 different people who were there that have since tested positive. One of them is in the hospital with severe symptons....that person was not vaccinated. The rest were all vaccinated and unboosted, but were totally fine. I got tested on Friday and I came up negative, so the boosters definitely work. The upshot being that omicron seems vastly more contagious but also much less severe. Of course, if you're unvaccinated, all bets are off as to how you'll react. For me, however, I'm having heart surgery in early January. It's not major surgery, but if I test positive at all, I can't get the procedure done. So other than going to the in-laws on Friday night, I'm trapped in my home for the next few weeks.
